Chimney sweeping is the physical act of removing soot and creosote. Chimney cleaning is a broader term that can include inspection and minor repairs. We perform thorough sweeping and inspection to ensure safety.
The ideal time to clean your chimney in Arizona is when you're not using it often. Late spring or early fall are good choices. This allows for prompt service before the cold weather arrives. It also helps prepare for cooler nights.
Look for visible soot or creosote buildup inside your chimney. If you notice a smoky smell when the fireplace isn't in use, it's a sign. Also, if your fire isn't burning well, it might need attention. We can help assess this.
