Ash Removal Services

Safe Ash Removal

Ash removal seems simple, but improper handling creates fire hazards. Ash can contain live embers for several days after a fire, even when appearing completely cold. We remove ash safely using proper techniques and containers, eliminating fire risk and leaving your fireplace clean and ready for your next fire.

When to Remove Ash

While keeping about an inch of ash in the firebox actually helps insulate and maintain fire temperature, excess ash should be removed regularly.

• When ash exceeds 1 inch depth in firebox
• When ash blocks the grate or andirons
• Before the burning season begins
• After the burning season ends
• When odors become noticeable

Ash Dump Cleaning

Many fireplaces have an ash dump - a door in the firebox floor that allows ash to fall into a pit below. These ash pits need periodic cleaning as well. We clean ash dumps and pits, which are often neglected and can accumulate years of ash. Full ash pits can cause backup into the firebox and create odor problems.

Proper Ash Disposal

Ash disposal requires care due to the risk of hidden embers. We use metal containers with tight-fitting lids and allow ash to cool completely before disposal. We can advise on proper home ash disposal practices, including using ash as a garden amendment where appropriate.
