Chimney Cleaning in Lakewood, CO

Chimney Cleaning in Lakewood Starts With the Flue

A chimney cleaning removes soot and creosote from the passage that carries smoke out of your home. We travel to your Lakewood home, so you do not need to transport equipment or arrange a trip to a shop. Book by calling (720) 780-8924 and tell us whether the fireplace burns wood or gas, how many fireplaces connect to the chimney, and when it was last cleaned if you know.

CSIA’s Homeowner FAQ says mechanical brushing with a full-system evaluation is the best way to clean a chimney. A hard glaze can require chemical treatment or rotary tools before brushing. The visit’s length varies with buildup, roof access, and the number of flues; HomeGuide notes that each can add time. We provide same-day service, and you can also review our chimney cleaning service details.

• Soot or creosote visible in the firebox — Dark, flaky deposits around the firebox or damper can point to buildup farther up the flue. Avoid brushing deposits down into the fireplace; have the chimney checked and cleaned.
• Smoke spilling into the room — Smoke that enters the living area instead of rising through the chimney can signal an obstruction or restricted passage. Stop using the fireplace until the cause is checked.
• A strong, tar-like fireplace odor — A sharp, smoky smell when the fireplace is cold may come from creosote or soot inside the chimney. Note when the odor is strongest so you can describe it when booking.
