Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning

When Was Your Last Chimney Cleaning?

Has it been over a year since your chimney was professionally cleaned? If so, it’s time to call Artman Chimney Specialist to ensure your chimney is clean, safe, and operating efficiently. Regular maintenance prevents hazards and keeps your home protected year-round.

How Does Chimney Sweeping Work?

Chimney sweeping is a centuries-old practice that has evolved with modern tools and techniques. Today, chimney professionals use high-powered brushes, scrubbers, and specialized vacuums to safely and effectively remove creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney flue.

At Artman Chimney Specialist, we take extra precautions to protect your home, ensuring that soot and ash are fully contained while we work.

Why Annual Chimney Cleaning is Essential

Regular maintenance helps:

✔ Remove flammable creosote buildup

✔ Clear out airflow obstructions

✔ Reduce the risk of chimney fires and smoke backups

Benefits of Professional Chimney Cleaning

Creosote Removal

When smoke rises through your chimney, it leaves behind creosote, a sticky, flaky, or solid residue that is highly flammable. Over time, creosote buildup can ignite and cause chimney fires, making regular cleaning essential for home safety.

Fact: Creosote is the leading cause of chimney fires reported across the U.S. each year. A professional cleaning significantly lowers your risk.

Clearing Out Obstructive Debris

Leaves, twigs, animal nests, and other debris can block airflow in your chimney, restricting proper ventilation. When a chimney becomes too narrow due to obstructions, smoke can back up into your home, causing health hazards and air quality issues.

Preventing Carbon Monoxide Backups

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas found in smoke, and even small amounts can be dangerous to your family and pets. If your chimney is blocked or improperly venting, CO can leak into your home, leading to potential poisoning.

Professional chimney cleaning and routine inspections help prevent carbon monoxide buildup by ensuring your chimney is properly ventilating smoke and gases outside.
