Why You Shouldn’t Skip Fireplace & Chimney Cleaning This Season

A Cozy Fire Starts with a Clean Chimney

Nothing beats the warmth and crackle of a real fire on a cool evening.But behind that comfort is a system that needs care — your chimney and fireplace.

Over time, smoke and soot leave behind creosote, a flammable tar-like residue.If left uncleaned, it can ignite and cause a dangerous chimney fire.Even light use during the winter can create buildup that blocks airflow and reduces efficiency.

At Duct Pros, our certified technicians ensure your fireplace is both safe and efficient, so you can relax and enjoy the season without worry.

How Often You

Is your fireplace ready for Christmas?

Should Clean Your Chimney?

Experts — including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) — recommend a professional chimney inspection and cleaning at least once per year.

You may need more frequent service if:

• You use your fireplace weekly or burn wood that’s not fully dried.

• You notice smoke entering the room instead of venting properly.

• There’s a strong odor, visible soot, or black buildup around the firebox.

Even if you rarely use your fireplace, animals, moisture, and debris can still enter the chimney.An annual sweep keeps it protected year-round.

What’s Included in a Professional Chimney Sweep from Duct Pros

Our Chimney Cleaning + Level 1 Visual Inspection package includes:

1. Visual Inspection – Checking the firebox, liner, damper, and chimney cap.

2. Rotary Brush & Vacuum Cleaning – Removing soot, ash, and creosote buildup.

3. Draft & Airflow Test – Ensuring smoke exits properly and airflow is unrestricted.

4. Safety Check – Looking for blockages, bird nests, cracks, or moisture damage.

We keep the process mess-free using professional HEPA vacuums and protective coverings around your fireplace area.

• The fire doesn’t burn as well as before.
