Professional Fireplace Cleaning Contractor in Orem, UT

Fireplace soot removal service by our technicians is more than just a matter of surface wiping. Creosote is a byproduct of incomplete combustion and builds up on flue walls in three increasingly harmful stages. The first stage is a dusty stage and is relatively easy to remove. Stage two is tar-like and mechanical tools are required. Stage three is hardened and glazed and will require chemical treatment before mechanical removal can occur. The difference between professional and basic maintenance is determining which phase is actually present and the right removal process for that phase. All three stages are carried out by our team using appropriate equipment and the material removed is disposed of safely before the appointment is finished.

How Often Should a Fireplace Be Cleaned?

The answer to how often should a fireplace be cleaned depends on how frequently the fireplace is used and what type of wood is burned. NFPA advises regular annual cleaning and inspection for any fireplace that is used regularly. Typically, a unit, which has been used for over sixty to eighty fires per season, needs to be cleaned at the end of the season before the next season starts. The use of green or unseasoned wood can cause creosote to build up very rapidly and require more frequent cleaning. Clean these chimneys at least every two years, even if the fireplace is not used regularly, to eliminate debris, nesting material and moisture damage within the flue.

Benefits of Regular Fireplace Cleaning

Once you understand the benefits of cleaning a fireplace, you can easily justify the process. The less creosote, the less the chance of a chimney fire spreading to the surrounding structure. A clean flue will allow air to flow better, allowing fires to start up easier and burn more efficiently, and with less smoke. The removal of soot and debris will remove the musty or smoky odours that impact indoor air quality even when the fireplace is not being used. Structural problems are more likely to be discovered during the cleaning process if there is regular cleaning, which will eliminate minor problems from becoming bigger and more expensive repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I only use my fireplace a few times a year, do I need to clean it?

Yes. Creosote and debris will build up even with occasional use. Even if used occasionally, an annual inspection and cleaning every 1-2 years is appropriate.

How much time does a professional fireplace cleaning take?

The time required for most residential fireplace cleanings is around 1 to 2 hours, depending on the model, amount of creosote and accessibility of the flue system.

Will the cleaning cause a mess in my home?

No. When cleaning, our techs will use drop cloths and containment materials to keep soot and debris out of the living area.

What are the differences between cleaning and inspection?

Cleaning eliminates creosote, soot and debris. Inspection involves checking the structural integrity of the firebox, the flue liner, the damper and the chimney parts to determine if there are any damage or safety concerns.

Can A Gas fireplace be cleaned?

Yes. Gas fireplaces can accumulate dust, debris and residue which can affect performance and appearance. Gas fire maintenance involves cleaning the parts of the burner, glass and venting system.
