Chimney Cleaning in Macedonia, OH
Chimney cleaning in Macedonia means getting the soot, ash, and creosote out of your flue before it causes trouble. Creosote builds up every time you burn wood. It is highly flammable, and it is the leading cause of chimney fires. A cleaning once a year keeps your fireplace safe and drawing the way it should.
We're based in Macedonia, so a lot of our cleaning work is right here and in the towns next door. We lay down drop cloths, run a HEPA vacuum, and clean the flue, firebox, and smoke chamber from top to bottom. While we're in there, we look for a cracked liner, a failing crown, or a blockage, so you hear about it before it turns into a bigger repair.
Signs it's time: the fire is hard to start, the room smells smoky when it rains, the fireplace drafts poorly, or you see black, tar-like buildup on the glass. Shiny, hardened creosote (often called glazed or Stage 3) is the most dangerous kind, and it needs professional removal.
No mess, no fear-selling. A clean flue and an honest report.
Here's what a chimney cleaning from us includes:
- Protect the space — Drop cloths and a HEPA vacuum so no soot gets tracked through your house.
- Clean the full system — Flue, firebox, and smoke chamber cleared of soot and creosote with professional rotary tools.
- Remove heavy creosote — Glazed (Stage 3) creosote treated and removed. A basic sweep can't get it off.
- Look while we're in there — A visual check of the liner, crown, damper, and cap, with photos and a plain report of what we find.
From our base in Macedonia we clean chimneys in Macedonia, Twinsburg, Solon, Bedford, and Hudson. Most people call when something already feels off, like a smoky room or a fire that won't draw.

Honest Inspection, No Scare Tactics
Another company tried to sell me a full chimney rebuild. Righteous came out, ran a camera inspection, showed me the actual flue, and said all I needed was a sweep and a new cap. Saved me thousands. This is who I'll call from now on.

Finally Stopped a Years-Long Leak
Two roofers couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. Righteous found it was the chimney crown and flashing, rebuilt the crown, reflashed, and waterproofed it. Dry through the whole winter for the first time in years.

Beautiful Tuck Pointing on Our 1920s Home
Our brick was crumbling at the joints. They repointed the whole chimney and a section of wall with mortar that actually matches the original. You can't tell where the new work starts. Craftsmanship you don't see much anymore.
Diane R. Cleveland Heights, OH -
Quick, Clean, and Straightforward
Swept the chimney, inspected it, and walked me through everything with photos. Showed up on time, laid down drop cloths, left zero mess. Fair price, no upselling. Exactly how it should be done.

Chimney Cleaning FAQs
-
For a wood-burning fireplace you use regularly, once a year is the standard recommendation (NFPA 211). Gas appliances and fireplaces you rarely use may need it less, but should still be inspected every year. We'll tell you honestly what your use calls for.

Often, yes. A smoky smell, especially when it rains, is usually creosote soaking up moisture, sometimes with a missing or damaged cap letting water in. Cleaning removes the creosote. If a cap or something else is part of the problem, we'll point it out.
