Chimney Sweeping Done Right in Dover
Book within 72 hours of your free inspection and the sweep is 10% off. This is how our crew cleans a chimney in Dover.
Why creosote builds up in a flue
Creosote forms when smoke cools inside the chimney and condenses on its walls. EPA Burn Wise names the conditions that speed buildup, a fire short of air, wood that has not seasoned and a chimney running cool, and notes that smoke lingering in the flue leaves more behind.
That means two chimneys swept on the same day can need very different work. Telling us how you burn, what wood you use and whether the fire often smolders helps our pros in Dover plan the cleaning and explain what would keep buildup down.
More than one flue in the same chimney
One chimney on the outside can hold two or more flues inside, one for the fireplace and another for a second fireplace, a stove or a furnace. Each flue is a separate passage with its own deposits, and each needs its own cleaning.
Tell us about every fireplace and appliance when you book, so the visit is planned for the right amount of work. Our Dover crew confirms which flue serves what before any brush goes in, and prices each one up front.
When the fireplace smells between fires
Deposits in a flue can give off a sharp, smoky smell, most noticeably on damp days or when the house pulls air down the chimney. Sweeping removes the deposits behind much of that odor, but water from an open top or a draft problem can keep it coming back.
We tell you what we think is behind the smell in your Dover home and what the sweep is likely to change. If a cap, a damper seal or a repair would help more than cleaning, you hear that before paying for anything extra.
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 Dover home and tell you whether it is adding to the buildup.
