Keep your family safe and your fireplace working great. We clean all types of fireplaces. Fast, friendly, and affordable cleaning service at your doorstep.
Did you know most chimney fires start silently and spread fast? The biggest danger inside your chimney is creosote. This sticky, tar-like substance forms when wood burns, especially in fireplaces that are frequently used during cold seasons. Creosote is highly flammable; even a small spark can ignite it, leading to intense chimney fires. Regular fireplace cleaning service in Long Island removes this dangerous buildup before it becomes a threat.
Professional cleaning effectively tackles creosote because we have specialized tools and methods. Our trained technicians use powerful rotary brushes and industrial-grade vacuums for thorough cleaning of chimney systems. These tools reach deep into the flue liner, thoroughly scraping away hardened creosote layers. We also clean fireplace glass doors and hearths, leaving no soot behind. This comprehensive sweep is the most reliable step you can take to eliminate fire hazards.
Not sure about your fireplace safety? Scheduling annual inspections is crucial for continuous protection and risk assessment.
How much does fireplace cleaning cost? It depends on the condition, type, and safety risks of your fireplace. However, we believe in transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprises.
First, the type of fireplace changes the price. Cleaning a simple gas unit with minimal buildup starts around $99-$150. Wood burning fireplaces with moderate creosote require a deeper scrubbing, costing $150-$250. Heavy-duty brick fireplaces cost $250-$350 due to the extra labor and equipment needed.
Second, hidden problems found during cleaning add to the total cost. If we discover cracked flue tiles, crumbling mortar, or animal nests blocking vents, repairs are essential for safety. Minor fixes like reattaching a damper might add $40-$75, while relining a chimney starts around $500.

Most chimney fires happen without warning, but your fireplace gives clear signs long before disaster strikes. Here’s what needs immediate attention:
Creosote buildup inside your chimney flue. This hardened residue is highly flammable and traps intense heat.
Smoke blows back into your room during use, indicating dangerous blockages or poor ventilation that trap toxic fumes.
Visible soot showers falling into your fireplace or living area indicate a crumbling chimney liner or excessive residue.
Unusual burning odors linger for hours after extinguishing your fire, a sign of trapped combustion byproducts.
Fire struggles to stay lit despite dry wood, indicating airflow restrictions from debris or nesting animals.
Birds or animals nesting in your chimney cap pose an immediate fire hazard due to the flammable materials they may accumulate.

Schedule your fireplace chimney cleaning now. Our imaging technology scans your entire flue for risks DIY methods can’t detect.
Missed creosote hotspots form behind smoke shelves and bends. These sticky deposits ignite at low temperatures, causing sudden fires.
Toxic fume exposure happens when blockages trap carbon monoxide. Without infrared scanners, you’d never spot a bird nest choking your flue.
Cracked flue tiles from aggressive scraping let flames reach wooden beams. A single damaged tile can significantly increase fire risks.
Airborne soot contamination spreads through vents when home vacuums fail. These micro-particles embed in carpets and harm lung health.
Roof-related injuries occur during DIY attempts. Steep pitches cause falls even on dry days. This costs more than professional service.
Damaged dampers from the wrong tools lead to expensive replacements. A seized control mechanism prevents proper ventilation year-round.
