How often should chimneys be cleaned in Maine?

Because Maine homes rely heavily on wood, pellet, and oil heat, most chimneys should be inspected annually and cleaned as needed. Cold winters and frequent use cause creosote to build up faster than in warmer climates.

Do you service homes outside of Bangor?

Yes. While Bangor is our primary service area, we regularly travel throughout Central and Eastern Maine, including surrounding towns and rural areas.

Is chimney sweeping necessary if I don’t use my fireplace often?

Yes. Even limited use can lead to creosote buildup, animal nesting, moisture damage, or blockages. Annual inspections help catch issues early and prevent costly repairs.

Do Maine winters affect chimney safety?

Absolutely. Freeze-thaw cycles can damage masonry, liners, and chimney caps. Snow and ice can also cause blockages or venting issues, making routine inspections especially important in Maine.

Are chimney inspections required for home sales in Maine?

Many real estate transactions in Maine recommend or require a chimney inspection, especially for homes with wood stoves or fireplaces. A professional inspection helps avoid last-minute delays during closing.

What types of heating systems do you service?

We service wood-burning fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, gas fireplaces, and dryer vents throughout Maine.

When is the best time to schedule chimney service in Maine?

Late spring through early fall is ideal, but we service chimneys year-round. Booking early helps avoid delays during peak heating season.
