The Process
At Soot N’ Sewer, our number one priority is you, the customer. This is why we take the utmost care in ensuring that we leave your home in pristine condition. We begin by laying a cloth tarp in front of the fireplace, along with our tools and equipment. We then visually inspect the fireplace and the flue for any potential hazards. With the vacuum running, we then proceed to sweep the fireplace chimney flue & smoke chamber with our brushes and flexible rods. We then use hand brushes to clean the firebox and damper openings, removing any creosote deposits that may be present. If the chimney cap is able to be accessed safely, it will be inspected and cleaned during the process. The creosote is then bagged and disposed of. Finally, the hearth is wiped down and the work area left clean. Our visual inspection findings are noted on your invoice and/or evaluation forms. Any issues that require attention are presented to you, and discussion on remedies then takes place.
How Long Does It Take To Sweep A Chimney?
A single standard chimney cleaning takes around 30 minutes to complete, depending on how dirty it is. If a WETT inspection is required at the same time, it may involve more time. The age of the home, length of the chimney, and amount of chimneys in the home are factors that affect the amount of time that we spend on site.

How To Prepare For Chimney Cleaning
- We ask that you remove all ash from the inside of the fireplace. Ash removal is not part of the chimney cleaning fee. As professionals, we understand that this can be a dirty job. If you would prefer to have us take care of this, we can do so for a small additional fee.
- Please ensure there is a minimum of 5 feet of work space in front of the fireplace or appliance being serviced. We have a number of tools that take up this space, and we want to ensure that we have adequate space to do our job safely and effectively.
- Remove any valuables near the fireplace to avoid the possibility of damage. As professionals, we pride ourselves on taking great care in our customers' homes. With that said, it is always better to be safe than sorry.
