Chimney Sweeping
A clean chimney is a safe chimney! Over time, creosote—a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood—builds up inside your chimney, increasing the risk of fire. Regular chimney sweeping removes creosote, soot, and debris, ensuring your fireplace operates safely and efficiently. At Midtown Chimney Services of Hillsborough, we provide a thorough clean with minimal mess. Whether you have a wood-burning, gas, or pellet fireplace, our certified professionals are here to help. Don’t wait for problems to arise—schedule your annual chimney cleaning today!

Whether you’re dealing with cracked mortar, water damage, or deteriorating chimney liners, our expert technicians have the experience to restore your fireplace to top condition.

Dryer Vent Cleaning
A clogged dryer vent isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a fire hazard. Lint buildup in your dryer vent restricts airflow, causing your dryer to work harder, increasing energy costs, and posing a serious risk of fire. Midtown Chimney Services provides professional dryer vent cleaning to remove lint, debris, and blockages, improving your dryer’s efficiency and reducing fire risks. If your clothes are taking longer to dry, or if you notice excess heat in your laundry room, it’s time for a cleaning. Keep your home safe and your dryer running smoothly—schedule your dryer vent cleaning today!.
Total Water Protection
Water damage is one of the leading causes of chimney deterioration. Without proper protection, rain, snow, and moisture can erode brick, mortar, and chimney liners, leading to costly repairs. Midtown Chimney Services of Hillsborough offers total water protection solutions, including chimney caps, flashing repair, waterproofing treatments, and crown sealant applications. Our services help prevent leaks, cracks, and freeze-thaw damage, ensuring your chimney remains in peak condition year-round. Don’t let water compromise your chimney’s integrity—ask about our water protection services today.
Gas Fireplace Service and Repair
Gas fireplaces offer convenience and efficiency, but like any heating appliance, they require routine maintenance. If your gas fireplace won’t stay lit, has a weak flame, or is emitting unusual odors, our trained technicians can diagnose and repair the issue. We clean gas burners, inspect venting systems, and ensure your pilot light and ignition system are functioning properly. Whether it’s seasonal maintenance or a full repair, we’ll keep your gas fireplace operating safely and efficiently. Schedule your gas fireplace service with Midtown Chimney Services today!
Frequently Asked Questions
Are There Chimney Inspection Regulations?
You bet! Before honoring their warranties, most manufacturers require consumers to follow the regulations set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). For stoves that burn cord wood and bio-fuel pellets, the recommendation is an annual sweep. Masonry fireplaces and factory-built fireplaces should be cleaned when the soot level reaches 1/8” thick on the inside walls of the chimney.
How Often Does a Fireplace Need to be Cleaned?
The NFPA’s Document 211 reads, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.” It’s advised that you have your fireplace checked annually, regardless of how often you use it. Even if you only use your fireplace so often, you ought to arrange an inspection to verify that your chimney and fireplace lack issues such as loose dampers, leaves or nesting debris blocking the flue, or broken air shutters.
Do I Need an Inspection If I Don’t Use my Fireplace Often?
The short answer is, yes! Even if you rarely or never use your fireplace, your chimney is still exposed to the elements, can collect debris, and may develop hidden structural problems. Scheduling a routine chimney inspection can prevent costly repairs, improve home safety, and give you peace of mind—even if your fireplace stays cold all year!
Do Gas Fireplaces Need to Be Cleaned?
Yes! While gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood-burning fireplaces, they still require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity. Even though gas burns without producing creosote, dust, soot, and carbon deposits can still accumulate inside the fireplace, on the burner, logs, glass, and venting system.
