Chimney Sweeping

Creosote and soot build up inside a chimney every time it's used. Regular sweeping helps keep your flue cleaner and reduces hazards associated with combustible deposits.

Why Chimney Sweeping Matters

Every time you use a wood-burning fireplace or heating appliance, byproducts of combustion — soot, creosote, and debris — settle inside the flue. Over time, that buildup can restrict airflow and, in enough volume, becomes a combustible hazard. Regular sweeping removes that buildup so your chimney can do its job safely.

When You Might Need a Sweep

  • It's been over a year since your last sweep
  • You use your fireplace regularly through the season
  • You notice a smoky or sooty smell near the fireplace
  • You're buying or selling a home with a fireplace

What Happens During a Sweep

We protect your hearth and flooring with drop cloths, then use professional rotary brush equipment to clear soot and creosote from the flue. We'll let you know what we find — including whether the buildup is light, moderate, or heavy — and flag anything that looks like it needs further attention. Many homeowners combine a sweep with our $99 Level 2 inspection to get a complete picture of their chimney's condition in the same visit.

A Clean Flue Is a Safer Flue.

Creosote is combustible. Keeping it under control through regular sweeping is one of the simplest ways to reduce chimney fire risk.
