Orlando Chimney Cleaning & Inspection — Creosote Removal
Keep your fireplace safe and your family protected with expert chimney sweeping, thorough creosote removal, and a detailed safety inspection. The NFPA recommends annual chimney cleaning to prevent fires and carbon monoxide hazards — and our experienced technicians handle every step, from inspection through final report.
Why Annual Chimney Cleaning Is Recommended
When you use your fireplace or wood stove, combustion produces creosote — a highly flammable residue that coats the inside of your chimney flue. Over time it builds up layer by layer, and at certain concentrations it becomes a serious fire and carbon monoxide hazard.
Annual chimney sweeping removes creosote deposits, nesting debris, and blockages, keeping your fireplace safe to use and your home protected from fire and toxic gas.
Signs You Need Chimney Cleaning
- Smoky or campfire smell in the room when the fireplace isn't in use
- Dark creosote staining or discoloration inside the firebox
- Poor draft — smoke backs up into the room when you light a fire
- Visible soot or tar buildup on the damper or smoke shelf
- Animal nests, leaves, or debris blocking the flue
- Black flakes falling into the firebox
- Fire struggles to stay lit or burns weakly
- More than 12 months since the last professional sweep

3. Sweeping
Rotary brushes and HEPA-vacuum system remove creosote, soot, and debris from the entire flue.
4. Report
Written condition report provided after every cleaning — documenting any cracks, damage, or safety concerns.
