Why Philadelphia Homeowners Can’t Afford to Wait

Creosote builds up faster in Philadelphia's long winters. It takes just 1/8 inch of buildup to ignite — causing over 25,000 chimney fires across the US each year. A professional sweep eliminates this risk and ensures your chimney draws properly, keeping smoke and carbon monoxide out of your home.

Chimney Fires From Creosote

It takes just 1/8 inch of creosote buildup to ignite. Philadelphia's long winters mean faster accumulation than most cities.

#1 Killer

CO Backup From Blockages

Creosote and soot blockages restrict airflow, pushing carbon monoxide back into your home. A full sweep restores safe draft.

We hadn't used our fireplace in eight years. Before lighting it up this winter we called Franklin to clean it out. They removed a bird's nest, about an inch of creosote, and a whole lot of leaves. Fireplace works beautifully now. The guy even showed us how to operate the damper properly.

We burn wood all winter — every single night from Thanksgiving to Easter. Annual cleaning is a must for us. Franklin gets it done fast, shows us the before-and-after photos, and we're good for another season. Been using them three years now.

Just moved from an apartment and this is my first home with a fireplace. Had no idea you're supposed to get it cleaned before using it. Franklin walked me through the whole process — what creosote is, why it's dangerous, how often to clean. Patient and educational. 10/10.

Even after cleaning the fireplace out ourselves, there was still a smoky smell all summer. Franklin did a full sweep and pulled out way more soot than I expected. The smell is completely gone now. Sometimes you just need the pros.

Hadn't had the chimney cleaned in three years. I know, I know. They didn't lecture me about it — just did the job, showed me the buildup they removed, and recommended I go annual from here. Fair enough. Booking now for next fall.

We have an oil furnace and the flue needed cleaning. Most chimney companies only want to deal with fireplaces. Franklin handled the oil flue no problem — cleaned the connector pipe, the flue liner, and checked the draft. Oil heat customers, these are your people.

Birds had been nesting in the chimney and there was a ton of debris in there. Franklin cleaned everything out, sanitized the flue, and recommended a cap to prevent it from happening again. The whole house smells better now. Wish I hadn't waited so long.

Pre-season cleaning before the holidays. They were in and out in under an hour. No mess, no drama, no surprise charges. Exactly what you want from a service call. Already on the calendar for next year.

Quick, clean, professional. They laid down drop cloths, sealed the fireplace opening, and vacuumed everything from the roof down. My living room was cleaner when they left than when they arrived. In and out in about 90 minutes.

Stage 2 creosote buildup — that's what they told me. I burn wood three or four times a week November through March so I wasn't surprised. They did a thorough cleaning and recommended I switch to seasoned hardwood instead of the green stuff I'd been using. Already booked for next October.

I'm a property manager with 14 units and these guys handle all my chimney maintenance. They're always on time, send invoices promptly, and their annual inspection reports are detailed enough to keep my insurance company happy. A+ operation.

Called at 8 AM about a downdraft problem. Tony was at my door by noon. He found a cracked liner that two other companies missed. Fair price, great communication, and they actually answered when I had follow-up questions.

The NFPA recommends annual inspections. In Philadelphia, our freeze-thaw cycles and aging masonry make this especially important — even if you rarely use your fireplace, animals, debris, and moisture can cause hidden damage. An annual check catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
