About this service

A clean sweep service involves a comprehensive removal of hazardous buildup throughout the entire length of the chimney liner. The technician clears out soot and creosote to restore full ventilation. You should book this if your fireplace has been used regularly throughout the winter or if you have recently purchased a home with an existing fireplace. A clean flue ensures that your fire burns efficiently and reduces the risk of carbon monoxide buildup.
