Whether you have a wood-burning fireplace or gas log fireplace, it will require periodic inspections, cleaning, and repairs to preserve its integrity and ensure its safe operation. Buildup occurs in all types of fireplaces, requiring chimney sweep services to remove debris like creosote, soot, and carbon, which can cause unpleasant odors and even fires.

Chimney cleaning and inspection schedules can vary depending on the frequency of use and whether your implement is a gas log fireplace or wood-burning; however, the Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends annual servicing for preventive maintenance. Cleanable Services provides Level 1 cleaning and inspection services in Chicago at affordable prices. We service, inspect, and offer cleaning services for chimneys many types of fireplaces including vent-less gas log cleaning.

The Benefits of Chimney Cleaning and Chimney Sweep Services in Chicago

Wood Fireplace Chimney Cleaning – As wood burns, it expels creosote, which works it way up the chimney, adhering vast amounts of these black particulates within the flue. Creosote is flammable. One spark from a fire catching hold of accumulation can ignite the creosote resulting in a chimney fire. Creosote tends to leave behind an unpleasant smell that lingers, but it can really take over the home if there is a lot of buildup, making fireplace cleaning beneficial for those with allergies, children, or breathing sensitivities.

​

Preventive measures including a wood fireplace chimney cleaning and chimney sweep are wise investments, and even the periodic burning of “creosote removal” logs are recommended between inspections and cleaning services. Neglected chimneys filled with hardened creosote are far more difficult to clean and typically require a roto-cleaning to remove the glazes. However, with regular Chicago chimney sweep services, Cleanable Services’ trained technicians can inspect and handle your wood fireplace chimney cleaning quickly and professionally.
