Why Professional Cleaning Matters

Every fire deposits creosote inside your chimney—the leading cause of residential chimney fires. Professional cleaning removes dangerous deposits, improves efficiency, and catches problems early.

Fire Prevention

Creosote ignites at 1,000°F, creating chimney fires reaching 2,000°F+ that crack liners and spread into walls. Professional cleaning eliminates this risk.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

Blocked chimneys cause deadly carbon monoxide to back up into your home. Professional cleaning ensures dangerous gases vent safely outside.

Better Performance

Clean chimneys draw properly. Strong draft means complete combustion, faster heating, and less firewood consumed.

Early Detection

During cleaning, we inspect your entire system and catch cracks, deterioration, and damage before they become expensive emergencies.

Chimney Safety for Redmond Families

Essential safety practices every Redmond fireplace owner should follow.

Annual Service is Essential

The NFPA recommends annual inspection and cleaning. This single step prevents the majority of chimney-related incidents.

Use Seasoned Wood Only

Green or wet wood produces more creosote. Burn only properly seasoned hardwood (dried 6-12 months minimum) to reduce buildup.

Install CO Detectors

Every home with a fireplace should have carbon monoxide detectors on every level. Test them monthly.

Don't Ignore Warning Signs

Smoke backing up, unusual odors, visible damage, water stains near chimney—call for professional service immediately.
