With its blend of colonial charm and modern neighborhoods, Cumberland homes often rely on fireplaces and wood stoves during Rhode Island’s cold seasons. Over time, soot, creosote, and debris accumulate in chimneys—posing a serious fire risk. That’s why homeowners across Cumberland trust Local Chimney Services to keep their systems clean, clear, and working at peak performance.
Your chimney may seem fine—until it’s not. Here’s why chimney cleaning is a must for every homeowner in Cumberland:
Creosote, a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood, builds up inside chimneys and can ignite without warning. We remove every layer to keep your system safe.
A clean chimney allows smoke and gases to exit freely, improving draft and helping your fireplace or stove heat your home more efficiently.
Blockages can cause dangerous fumes to re-enter your home. Our team clears your flue to keep your indoor air safe and breathable.
Creosote buildup and trapped moisture can corrode metal components and damage masonry. Regular cleaning helps prevent expensive future repairs.
Before you light that first fire in fall or winter, a chimney cleaning ensures your system is ready to operate safely all season long.
We go beyond the basics to ensure every chimney cleaning is detailed, safe, and spotless. Here’s what’s included when you book with Local Chimney Services:
We start with a full visual check of the flue, firebox, and chimney structure. This helps us identify cracks, damage, or signs of prior chimney fires before cleaning begins.
Our technicians use professional-grade brushes and vacuums to remove every trace of soot and creosote buildup from the flue walls, smoke chamber, and firebox.
Animal nests, leaves, and debris are common causes of chimney blockages. We safely remove any obstructions that could restrict airflow or pose a fire hazard.
We clean the smoke shelf—where soot tends to collect—and check the damper to ensure it opens and closes smoothly for proper draft control.
Once your chimney is clean, we perform a final airflow and safety check. If we find anything concerning, we’ll let you know and recommend next steps.

In Cumberland—and throughout Rhode Island—you should have your chimney cleaned at least once a year, especially if you use it regularly during the winter. If you burn wood, a cleaning is recommended after every one cord of wood burned. Frequent use = more creosote = higher fire risk.
Common signs include:
A strong smoky odor, even when not in use
Difficulty starting fires or smoke backing into the room
Excessive soot around the firebox
A visible glaze or black buildup inside the flue
Cumberland homes that haven’t had a cleaning in over a year are at higher risk for chimney fires and airflow issues.
Not at all—when done professionally. At Local Chimney Services, we use high-powered vacuums, drop cloths, and containment systems to keep your home clean. You won’t see a speck of soot left behind, and we treat every Cumberland home like it’s our own.
They’re essentially the same thing. “Chimney sweep” is the traditional term. A professional chimney cleaning involves removing creosote, soot, debris, and potential blockages (like bird nests) from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox.
Technically? Yes. Safely? No.
Using a fireplace with a dirty chimney can lead to poor airflow, dangerous smoke backup, and in worst-case scenarios, chimney fires. If you live in Cumberland, where fireplaces are heavily used during cold months, a pre-season cleaning is essential for safety and efficiency.
