Chimney Cleaning From Local Specialists
The fireplace and flue are looked over first, free, and the cleaning is then matched to your liner and appliance.
What a full chimney sweep reaches
A proper sweep is more than a brush pushed up the flue. Our crew cleans the firebox, the damper and its frame, the smoke shelf behind the damper, the smoke chamber above it and the flue itself, because soot and creosote collect in each of those places and each can feed a fire or narrow the draft.
When the cleaning is done, we look over everything the brushes reached and tell you what we saw. For homes in Balm, that walk-through is part of the visit, and the inspection that comes first is free.
Cleaning a sticky or sooty damper
A masonry fireplace has a metal damper that opens and closes from the room, and soot, rust flakes and debris on its frame can stop it seating or opening fully. Stuck half open, it sends smoke back toward the room, and stuck half shut, it leaks the air you paid to cool straight up the chimney.
During the sweep we clean the damper plate and frame and check that it moves freely. If it is warped, rusted through or missing parts, our Balm team explains a repair or a top-sealing damper as a separate option.
What to tell us when you book
A few details help us plan the right visit. Tell us whether you burn wood in an open fireplace, a stove or an insert, roughly how much it was used last season, when it was last swept and whether you have noticed smoke, smells or falling debris.
Mention pets, gates and how to reach the fireplace inside the house too. Our family-owned team uses those details to bring the right tools to your Balm home and to keep the appointment on schedule.
Storing firewood so it burns clean
Where the wood waits matters too. EPA Burn Wise has firewood stacked outside and raised off the ground, with a cover on top only, so air moves through the sides of the pile. Wood kept that way dries properly and burns hotter, which means less smoke and less residue in the chimney.
If your wood is stacked against the house or under a tarp wrapped around the whole pile, it may be holding more water than you think. Our sweeps can look at what you burn during the visit to your Balm home and tell you whether it is adding to the buildup.
On any service we offer
Approve the sweep inside 72 hours of the inspection for 10% off.
