Cleaning is only one part of chimney maintenance. Fireplace Place also offers Level 2 chimney inspections and video scanning to help evaluate areas that may be difficult to see during a basic visual assessment.
Our team examines relevant chimney components, checks for visible obstructions, and documents inspection findings to help you better understand the condition of your system.
After the service, Fireplace Place provides an electronic inspection report with photographs of its findings. Our technicians explain any concerns identified during the inspection and recommend appropriate next steps.
If the inspection reveals damage that requires more than routine maintenance, our chimney repair services can address those separate needs.
Creosote is a combustible deposit that can accumulate inside wood-burning chimneys. Professional sweeping helps remove creosote, soot, and other deposits, reducing a common source of chimney fire risk.
A chimney needs proper venting to carry smoke and combustion gases outside. Sweeping helps remove deposits and certain obstructions that may interfere with airflow, reducing potential venting problems. However, cleaning alone cannot guarantee safe indoor air quality.
Regular sweeping removes accumulated deposits and debris that can affect chimney operation. Combined with appropriate inspections and maintenance, it can help identify developing concerns before they lead to more extensive deterioration.
Scheduling chimney sweeping before regular fireplace use helps identify cleaning needs and potential obstructions. This gives homeowners time to address concerns before colder weather arrives.

I highly recommend Fireplace Place. Nevada came out to service our fireplace because it wouldn’t stay lit. He was very thorough and professional. Not only did he get our fireplace working, he cleaned it and made it look like a brand new fireplace. I was very pleased with the service.
Just had them finish a very large job for me. Had to tear out my old fireplace and replace it with a new system. Overall, I am thrilled with the quality of the work. Install was quick but very well done and the brickwork was above and beyond my expectations. I would absolutely use this company again for any fireplace needs.

The appropriate frequency depends on fireplace use, the type of fuel, the amount of deposits, and the chimney’s condition. Annual inspection is widely recommended for chimneys, fireplaces, and vents, while sweeping should be performed as needed based on the findings and applicable guidance.
Sweeping removes applicable deposits and debris from the chimney. An inspection evaluates its condition and looks for issues such as damage, deterioration, or obstructions. Some visits may include both services, depending on the chimney and the work scheduled.
Creosote is a combustible deposit that can form inside a wood-burning chimney. If enough accumulates and ignites, it can contribute to a chimney fire. Appropriate burning practices, inspection, and cleaning help manage this risk.
It depends on the appliance and venting system. Some gas fireplaces use a chimney or vent system that requires inspection and maintenance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ask a qualified professional about the needs of your particular unit.
