When it comes to keeping your chimney clean and in good shape, trust the experts at Virginia Chimney & Roofing. Our team of certified technicians has years of experience providing quality chimney cleaning services for all types of chimneys.
Whether you have a wood-burning fireplace or a more modern gas one, regular cleaning is essential for preventing the potentially dangerous buildup of soot and creosote. The National Fire Protection Association Codes and Standards (NFP211) recommends that all wood-burning systems be swept by a Certified Chimney Cleaning Technician each year or after every cord of wood is burned. Following these guidelines ensures your system is ready for the next burning season. That dangerous creosote is removed from the flue system to minimize the chance of both chimney fires and hazardous fumes in your home.

When our technicians arrive, they begin by carefully moving any furniture or personal items close to your fireplace. Drop cloths are then put in place to protect your furniture and flooring from any debris we clear from your chimney. This is to ensure no damage is done to your personal property, and it will appear that we were never there.
Upon properly inspecting your chimney and flue, the technician sweeps the smoke chamber and flue system using industry-standard tools and brushes. A vacuum is used to prevent dust particles from spreading and collect the residue from creosote and soot removal. This prevents debris from entering your home, ensuring cleanliness.
Once the sweep of the chimney interior has been completed, the technician will also vacuum both the shelf holding the damper in place and the firebox and hearth. This is to ensure all creosote layers have been removed and will no longer be a fire hazard. You are then free to use your fireplace as normal and will have a safely operating chimney. In some instances, a manual sweep may not be enough to eliminate the creosote accumulation present safely. Should this occur, your technician can recommend several options and discuss them with you in detail. For example, utilizing additional brushes in combination with a power drill may be all that is required. However, a chemical treatment may be necessary if the buildup is significantly heavier (stage three). If you have heavier buildup in your chimney, we will work with you to clean it!
