Wood Stove Sweep and Service

Our Wood Stove Service includes a comprehensive chimney sweep, flue cleaning, and internal component safety checks to ensure your stove operates efficiently and safely.
Why Sweep Your Chimney?
It’s essential to have your chimney flue swept at least once a year. For those who use their stove regularly during the burning season, we recommend a second sweep in January.
Rest assured, chimney sweeping is a clean process. We protect the surrounding area with sheeting and use professional-grade equipment, including a high-powered HEPA-filter soot vacuum and rotary-powered sweeping rods, to control dust and particles effectively.
