A professional chimney sweep typically completes a cleaning in 60-90 minutes. The duration depends on the chimney's size and condition. This allows for thorough inspection and removal of all soot and creosote buildup, ensuring optimal performance and safety for your Maryland home.
For most Maryland homes, annual chimney cleaning is recommended. Frequent use during cold winters or if you burn certain types of wood necessitates more frequent service. This prevents dangerous creosote accumulation, safeguarding your property and family.
