Outdoor Fireplace Cleaning

What This Service Involves

An outdoor fireplace collects soot and smoke staining on its face while the damp Northwest air grows moss on the cooler, shaded masonry. The stone or brick needs treatment that lifts carbon staining without etching the surface. We clean the firebox surround and the chimney face with masonry-safe methods, addressing both the soot and the biological growth. The fireplace becomes a clean centerpiece rather than a blackened, mossy structure.

Benefits

Lifts soot and smoke staining from the masonry face; Clears moss from the shaded, cooler stone; Uses masonry-safe methods to avoid etching; Cleans both the firebox surround and chimney; Restores the fireplace as an outdoor centerpiece

Our Process

1) Clear ash and loose debris from the firebox area; 2) Treat soot staining and biological growth separately; 3) Clean the masonry at a safe pressure; 4) Rinse and inspect the stone or brick face

What Affects the Cost

Size and height of the fireplace and chimney; Masonry type and sensitivity; Severity of soot versus moss staining; Access around the structure; Detailing of the firebox and hearth

Best Time of Year

Spring cleaning readies the fireplace for summer evenings, and a dry day helps the masonry treatments work fully.
