Before chimney sweeps, the only way to clean a fireplace was to thoughtfully leave Santa a plate of brillo pads. Keep St. Nick’s escape route clear with today’s Groupon to Chimney Care. Choose between the following options:

• For $75, you get cleaning service for an oil or gas chimney (up to a $150 value).
• For $75, you get cleaning service for a traditional open wood-burning fireplace (up to a $178 value).<p>

The licensed, bonded, and insured technicians at Chimney Care travel to homes to keep heat passageways operating cleanly, subsequently reducing the risk of residential fires. Donning the requisite uniforms, two soot battlers arrive at domiciles to buff up chimneys both from inside the house and from on the roof, keeping the home’s straw in prime operating condition and ready to slurp up low clouds. Vacuums vanquish debris at the chimney’s base, and brushes battle gunk down its entire length for the approximately 15- to 45-minute cleaning. While clearing out the remains of s’mores and money roastings, the certified pros also take note of any damage, issues, or Cockney singers inside the chimney and can make recommendations for the necessary repairs.

Though Chimney Care sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
