Chimney Cleaning

Doodlebuggers Fireplace, Grill & Outdoor Store provides expert, licensed chimney cleaning for our customers in the Pensacola, FL, and Destin, FL, regions. The safety of your fireplace depends on chimney cleaning services from trained technicians using the right industry-grade tools.

How Often Should Your Chimney Be Cleaned?

According to the National Fire Protection Association, chimney cleaning is needed when there is a 1/4-inch buildup of soot and creosote. If the creosote has become hardened, more frequent cleaning is necessary.

Of course, you can’t tell how much buildup exists in your Pensacola or Destin chimney. That’s why Doodlebuggers offers licensed chimney inspections. We’ll accurately assess what’s going on inside your chimney flue and give you a recommendation on how often you need chimney cleaning, based on your level of fireplace usage.

Pensacola & Destin Chimney Fires

In our service areas, we see the results of chimney fires. Chimney fires can cause severe damage to chimney liners and interior areas of the chimney structure – as well as to parts of your home.

A chimney fire is usually started by creosote, and it can happen without you even being aware of it. Many fires start and go out on their own.

Don’t wait to schedule chimney cleaning until you have a visible chimney fire. Make the smart move and think “prevention.”

How We Clean Chimneys

Our process is time-tested and works exceptionally well. Here’s a general overview.

• We lay a large drop cloth in front of the fireplace.
• A hose connected to a HEPA-filtered vacuum is put into the fireplace.
• We set up the outside ladder and get together brushes and other equipment we’ll need.
• The chimney flue is correctly brushed and cleaned.
• We perform a visual inspection of the chimney and flue.
• The firebox, smoke chamber and damper are properly cleaned.
