What the $289 chimney cleaning covers

Franklin's listed package combines routine cleaning of the agreed flue with a Level 1 inspection. We confirm the fireplace or appliance and covered flue before the visit.

What happens during the visit

  • Cleaning: We remove routine soot and creosote from the covered flue using a method suited to the system.
  • Inspection: We check readily accessible chimney and appliance areas for visible concerns.
  • Home protection: We cover the work area before cleaning and tidy it when the visit is complete.
  • Findings: We explain what was observed and confirm which photos or written notes are included with the booking.
If the visit reveals a different scope: another flue, heavy or glazed deposits, an obstruction, a Level 2 inspection, or a repair should be explained and priced separately before work begins. For more detail, read our cleaning cost guide.
The right time to clean

When should a chimney be cleaned?

Arrange a chimney inspection at least annually. Cleaning is recommended when the inspection finds deposits, an obstruction, or another condition that calls for it. How often you need a sweep depends on the appliance, fuel, use, and deposits.

If smoke enters the room, the fireplace smells unusual, or you have had a chimney fire, tell us before booking. Those symptoms may call for an inspection or different work in addition to cleaning.

Compare chimney inspection levels

Cleaning and inspection answer different questions

A sweep removes routine deposits from the covered flue. The included Level 1 inspection looks at readily accessible areas. A Level 2 inspection covers more accessible areas and may include a flue-interior video scan when a closer look is appropriate.

We explain which service fits the reason for your visit before you book.

A clear visit from start to finish

What happens during your cleaning visit

  1. Confirm the system

    We verify the appliance and flue covered by the booked package and ask about smoke, odors, or past concerns.

  2. Protect and clean

    We prepare the work area, clean routine deposits from the agreed flue, and check readily accessible areas within the Level 1 scope.

  3. Review the findings

    We explain what we observed, what was cleaned, and whether a separate inspection or repair is worth considering. Extra work is quoted before approval.

Very happy with the work Franklin did at my house. Came out and gave an estimate and had work done same day. The crew cleaned, capped, pointed three chimneys and added a very stubborn flue connected to the boiler.

Franklin Chimney did a wonderful job fixing my chimney and putting in a stainless-steel liner and cap on top of my chimney. They came out quickly for an estimate and did the work in the same week. They were very professional and explained everything they would be doing before the job started. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality service. Thank you for making this such a great experience!

I had an emergency situation that needed immediate help. Franklin chimney came the next morning and estimated the job for me. The estimate was totally in line with the research other companies that I had done and Franklin came out the next day to do the job. I am so relieved to have this major problem in my house corrected. They were great communicators, on time, clean, fair, professional, and did a great job I could not recommend them more.

We needed a level 2 chimney inspection on a quick timeline for our HOA. Franklin Chimney came out in less than 48 hours. Booking was very easy and price was significantly better than competitors. Our technician Madi was very efficient and made sure we had the report we needed.

I called Franklin Chimney when I noticed flies coming out of my wood burning stove. Maty was here within an hour. He sent a drone up on my roof and discovered a few holes in the mesh that was easy access for birds or squirrels to enter. He sent 2 guys out the next day. They were friendly, efficient and fast. They removed 4 birds and a squirrel. Put a new cap on chimney and sealed it off with mesh. They were done in about 2 hours. I highly recommend Franklin Chimney....thank you for doing a great job!

Common Questions

Questions Before Your Cleaning

Franklin’s listed standard package includes routine cleaning of the covered flue and a Level 1 inspection of readily accessible areas. We confirm which flue is covered and which photos or written findings are included when you book. See the full price guide.

We protect the work area before cleaning and tidy it afterward. Tell us about access concerns or delicate surfaces when booking so the crew can prepare for your home.

Have the chimney inspected at least annually and clean it when deposits or the system’s condition call for it. Use, fuel, and appliance type affect the timing; an annual inspection does not mean every chimney needs an annual sweep.

Yes. The listed standard sweep includes a Level 1 inspection of readily accessible areas. A Level 2 inspection has a broader scope and may include an interior video scan when the situation calls for it. Compare inspection levels.

We explain what we found and which next step makes sense. An additional flue, difficult deposit, blockage, Level 2 inspection, or repair is scoped and priced separately before you approve that work.

A routine visit often takes 45–90 minutes. Access, the appliance, deposits, and any findings can change that time; we will explain if the visit needs a different scope.

Still Have Questions?

Tell us which fireplace or appliance you use and any smoke, odor, or access concerns. We will confirm the standard scope before your visit.
