Chimney & Fireplace Cleaning in Edmonton
Keep your fireplace burning clean and safe. We remove creosote, soot and blockages so you can enjoy your fire through Edmonton’s winter without the worry.
Every fire leaves behind creosote and soot inside your chimney. Left to build up, creosote is highly flammable and can restrict your chimney’s draft — leading to more smoke and a real fire risk. A regular sweep keeps your fireplace safe and burning clean.
What’s included
- Creosote & soot removal
- Firebox & flue cleaning
- Blockage & nest check
- Damper inspection
- Tidy, no-mess service
Why it matters
Creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires, and a blocked or dirty flue pushes smoke back into your home. A clean chimney means a safer fire, better draft, less smoke, and peace of mind every time you light it. Best done once a year, before the heating season.
How we do it
We inspect the chimney, sweep the flue and firebox to remove creosote and soot, check for blockages or nests, and inspect the damper. We work clean and tidy up after, so the only sign we were there is a fireplace that’s ready to use.
Why regular chimney & fireplace cleaning matters
Every fire leaves creosote and soot inside your chimney. As it builds up it restricts the flue and becomes a fire hazard, so a regular clean keeps your fireplace safe, drawing properly and burning efficiently. We clear the buildup and check for obvious blockages or damage so you can enjoy your fireplace with peace of mind.
How often depends on how much you burn — for regular wood-burning fireplaces, once a year before the heating season is a good rule of thumb. We give a written estimate first and an honest assessment of what your fireplace needs.
Cleaning, inspection and repair are different services
A routine sweep removes accessible soot and creosote and lets us flag obvious blockages or visible damage. It is not a substitute for a formal code, structural or WETT inspection, and cleaning cannot repair a cracked liner, failing masonry or a damaged appliance. If you have had a chimney fire, notice loose bricks, see new staining or smell smoke when the fireplace is not in use, stop using it and arrange the appropriate qualified inspection. Being clear about that boundary keeps a maintenance visit from being mistaken for a safety certification.
Before we arrive, make sure the fireplace is completely cold and remove loose items from the hearth. Tell us about recent smoke spillage, animal activity, water entry or changes in draft. Those details help us focus the cleaning and identify conditions that should be reviewed before the next fire. Keep children and pets away from the work area during the visit. We can also explain the appropriate next step when cleaning alone is not enough.
