Is Your Chimney Safe to Use This Winter?

Every time you burn wood in your fireplace, a tar-like substance called creosote builds up inside the flue. Creosote is highly flammable and is the #1 cause of chimney fires. Without regular cleaning, this hidden danger grows with every fire, putting your home at serious risk.

Rivo Clean provides certified chimney sweeping and Level 1 & 2 inspections for homeowners within a 60-mile radius. Our technicians don't just "brush and run." We perform a comprehensive safety check to ensure your damper, flue, and smoke shelf are functioning correctly and that there are no cracks or blockages that could allow Carbon Monoxide to enter your living space.

Enjoy the warmth of your fireplace without the worry. Trust the local experts who care about your safety.

Why Regular Sweeping is Essential

Chimney maintenance is about more than just cleanliness; it's about life safety.

Prevent Chimney Fires

Creosote is fuel. A stray spark can ignite it, turning your chimney into a jet engine of fire that can crack masonry and spread to your roof.

Carbon Monoxide Prevention

A blocked chimney (from nests or debris) forces deadly CO gas back into your home. A clean flue ensures dangerous fumes vent safely outside.

Avoid Costly Repairs

Soot and moisture are acidic. Leaving them in your chimney eats away at the mortar joints, leading to expensive structural repairs down the road.

Our Sweeping Standard

We treat your home like a palace. No soot on the carpet. No mess.

Preparation & Protection

We lay down heavy canvas drop cloths and tape off the fireplace opening. We use a powerful HEPA vacuum to capture every particle of dust instantly.

Rotary Cleaning

We use modern rotary power sweeping tools that remove glazed creosote far better than traditional wire brushes, without damaging your liner.

Safety Inspection

After cleaning, we inspect the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and exterior crown to identify any cracks or water damage that need attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

The NFPA 211 Standard recommends that chimneys be inspected at least once a year and cleaned if necessary. If you use your fireplace frequently (more than 3 cords of wood per season), a mid-season sweep is advised.

No. We use a proven "closed system" with high-powered commercial HEPA vacuums running the entire time we sweep. This negative pressure ensures all soot goes into our tank, not your living room.
Yes. While gas fireplaces don't produce creosote, they can get blocked by bird nests, spider webs, and debris. We inspect the venting and clean the logs and glass for safety and appearance.
