Salem certified Fireplace & Chimney Cleaning
Homeowners go for decades without cleaning their chimney. But keeping your chimney clean is essential for being able to safely burn in your home. Built-up creosote caused by neglecting proper chimney maintenance can cause chimney fires, resulting in extensive damage.
Many chimneys are neglected because their owners don’t know how to go about keeping them clean. Not knowing what to look for, not having the proper equipment or the ability to use it, and uncertainty in sifting through the products on the market today all factor in. (Pop Quiz: Does a chimney sweeping log replace regular brushing of the chimney? Answer: No! Products like these are only meant to supplement a regular, manual cleaning.) If you’re in this position, that’s exactly what our Salem certified fireplace and chimney cleaning service is here for.
Rather than taking the risk of using your chimney when it’s not up to the job or not using your fireplace out of concern, hire a certified chimney sweep company that can do the work for you. A Salem certified fireplace and chimney cleaning service will clean out your chimney the right way, leaving you with a safely operating fireplace and chimney.

Here are some other benefits to hiring a Salem certified chimney sweep:
A professional chimney sweep possesses specialty knowledge
An amateur is more likely to miss some important things that can really cause problems in the future, simply because they don’t know what they’re looking for.

They will be able to take special care to ensure nothing is harmed in the process – you can be confident that your chimney will be safely operable after we’re done.
Professionals have access to the latest equipment and technology

If you try to do things yourself you can make a huge mess in your home that may hurt the air quality. A certified chimney sweep will have access to the latest equipment and technology in order to prevent this from happening. With a professional everything becomes so much easier and convenient.
Professionals are good at spotting the details
When you hire a professional to clean out your chimney for you, no matter what the problem is, they have probably dealt with it before. So they are going to be ready to attack any problem. When they go in, a Salem certified fireplace and chimney cleaning service will know what they are trying to find, what it’s going to take to solve the problem, and what to tell you in regards to preventing certain problems from happening in the future with your chimney.

Salem Fireplace and Chimney Cleaning Service FAQ
How much does it cost to get your chimney swept?
Every chimney is different, which makes giving a number in a general FAQ a difficult task. It’s better to focus on the factors which may play into an overall price, such as:
- Ease of access
- Number and length of chimneys
- Condition of chimney
- Build up in chimney and flue
One thing we can say is that you will likely be surprised with how reasonably priced chimney cleaning can be for our Salem clients.
Can I clean my chimney myself?
Of course you can. But before you do, take stock of what you have and the obstacles in the way. You will need, at minimum: basic tools, brushes, chimney brushes and extensions, and of course a safe way to get up to the chimney. You also will need to know what you’re looking for to correctly evaluate the state of your chimney system. If you’re unsure of yourself or don’t want to invest in the purchasing and storage of chimney cleaning tools, give us a call!
How often should I have my chimney cleaned?
If you are regularly burning wood for heat, your chimney should be swept at least once a year. If you only burn a few times a year for ambiance, then it gets more tricky to judge. If you’re not sure, we’d be happy to come take a look.

“I would tell anyone who needs furnace or duct cleaning that this company is the best. We had a major problem with another company that could not fix our furnace, so we called Willard Power Vac. Their technician arrived promptly, identified the issue right away, and had everything running perfectly within the hour. Outstanding service from start to finish.”
