Noticing an unusual smell coming from your fireplace?

During the warmer months, heat and humidity can cause unpleasant odors to develop in your fireplace or stove. This is often a sign that a mid-year cleaning may be necessary — especially if the smell becomes a persistent nuisance. A summertime sweep can help eliminate these odors and keep your living space fresh and comfortable.

Frequent fireplace use or lack of maintenance can lead to the buildup of a thick, black residue known as creosote. This substance forms from the exhaust and debris of regular fires and can pose both safety and odor concerns. If our technician detects a significant buildup, they may recommend a more intensive cleaning to ensure your chimney is safe and functioning properly.

Don’t wait until the problem worsens — let us help you stay ahead of it. Regular maintenance not only improves air quality but also reduces the risk of chimney fires. Contact us today to schedule a cleaning or inspection, especially if you’re noticing unusual smells or heavy use of your fireplace.

Let us help you keep your chimney system clean, safe, and odor-free — all year long.

More Than One Flue? It’s More Common Than You Think.

Did you know your chimney may have more than one flue? While one flue vents your fireplace or stove, another often serves your home’s heating system — such as your furnace, boiler, or hot water heater. Both oil and gas-fired appliances produce residue and combustion byproducts that need to be properly vented. That’s why it’s essential to schedule a furnace flue cleaning at least once a year to ensure safe and efficient operation.

At Mr. Chimney, we thoroughly sweep the entire furnace flue pipe, removing debris that could block airflow or compromise your heating system’s performance. Carbon monoxide — an odorless, toxic gas — is a natural byproduct of combustion. A blocked or dirty flue can allow this hazardous gas to back up into your home or business. We take every precaution to keep your flue system clean and your environment safe.

When you choose Mr. Chimney, you’re choosing care, quality, and professionalism. We treat every project as if it were in our own home or business. Our trained technicians maintain a clean workspace, respect your property, and always leave behind a great impression — one that keeps customers coming back year after year.

The Chimney Sweeps Role

The primary job of Mr Chimney, your chimney service professional, is to aid in the prevention of fires related to fireplaces, woodstoves, gas, oil and coal heating systems and the chimneys that serve them. Wood burning heating systems, in particular, require careful monitoring and our skillful operation.

Mr Chimney installs, cleans, and maintains these systems, evaluates their performance, prescribes changes to improve efficiency, and educates consumers about their safe and efficient operation. The basic task of a chimney sweep is to clean chimneys. Cleaning involves removing the hazard of accumulated and highly combustible creosote produced by burning wood and wood products. It also means eliminating the build-up of soot in coal- and oil-fired systems, as well as removing bird and animal nests, leaves, and other debris that may create hazards by blocking the flow of emissions from a home heating appliance.

In performing their primary job, sweeps also act as on-the-job fire prevention specialists. They are constantly on the lookout for unsafe conditions that can cause home fires or threaten residents with dangerous or unhealthy indoor air quality.

Mr Chimney keeps abreast of the current developments and the technology of our trade. We are knowledgeable about the most recent National Fire Protection Association standards as well as the specifics of state and local codes covering your geographic area.
