Chimney Sweep & Cleaning
Standard chimney sweep and cleaning starting at $89.99.
Creosote is the tar that condenses inside your flue every time you burn. It is what chimney fires burn. Sweeping removes it, and a proper sweep is contained — drop cloths, sealed vacuum, no soot in your living room. We photograph the flue before and after so you can see what came out.
