Professional Chimney Cleaning & Repair Services by Air Flow Solutions

When you hire a professional chimney cleaning service, you deserve more than a quick brush-through. We utilize an advanced, multi-step chimney cleaning system designed to protect your home’s interior while thoroughly sanitizing your flue. Here is exactly what you can expect when our technicians arrive:

1. Workspace Preparation & Containment: Before any work begins, we protect your home. We lay down heavy-duty drop cloths around the hearth and seal the fireplace opening to prevent any soot, ash, or dust from entering your living space. We also position high-powered HEPA vacuums to capture debris the moment it falls.
   
   
2. Initial Visual Assessment: We conduct a Level 1 inspection, examining the firebox, damper, and accessible parts of the flue using specialized lighting. We look for cracks, moisture damage, or severe creosote glazing that might require special treatment.
   
   
3. Top-to-Bottom Flue Sweeping: Using professional-grade rotary brushes and fiberglass rods, we scrub the interior walls of the chimney. This mechanical agitation dislodges baked-on creosote, loose mortar, and stubborn soot, pushing it down into the firebox.
   
   
4. Smoke Chamber & Damper Cleaning: The smoke chamber (the area just above the damper) is notorious for collecting heavy creosote. We hand-clean this critical area and ensure the damper opens and closes smoothly for proper draft control.
   
   

Debris Extraction & Final Inspection: We use our HEPA vacuums to remove all the dislodged debris from the firebox and smoke shelf. Finally, we conduct a post-cleaning review to verify the flue is clear, the draft is restored, and your fireplace is safe for use.
