How often should I get my chimney cleaned if I use my fireplace regularly through the winter?

We recommend annual cleaning for regular fireplace users in Roosevelt, especially since many homes here burn wood through the cold months. A buildup of creosote is dangerous and reduces efficiency, so once yearly keeps your chimney safe and functioning well.

What's the difference between a chimney cleaning and a chimney sweep?

Chimney cleaning is a thorough removal of all creosote, soot, and debris from top to bottom. A sweep is basically the same service—we use those terms interchangeably to describe the complete cleaning process that protects your home.

Will the cleaning process make a mess inside my house?

We use professional drop cloths and containment systems to keep soot from entering your living space. DME Maintenance is trained to work cleanly, and we leave your fireplace area spotless when we're done.

Is it normal to see black dust falling out of my chimney when I start using it?

Yes, that's typically loose creosote and soot that's accumulated. A professional cleaning will remove most of that buildup, but having it cleaned is the safest solution rather than ignoring it.

Can you clean my chimney if I have an oil heating system too?

Absolutely—many Roosevelt homes have both fireplaces and oil heat. We handle wood-burning chimney cleaning regardless of your heating setup. Just give us a call at (516) 690-7471 to schedule.

DME Maintenance has been serving Roosevelt and the South Shore since 2001.

If your chimney is leaking or pulling away from the roofline after a storm, call us. (516) 690-7471.

Roosevelt homes face serious chimney wear because of the constant cycle of freezing and thawing, especially during our wet winters. Many chimneys in this area were built decades ago and now show cracks, spalling brick, or deteriorated mortar joints. Regular cleaning and inspection catch these problems early before water gets inside and damages your heating system or home structure.
