Chimney Sweep
Every fire deposits creosote — a combustible residue — on your chimney lining. Past 1/8 of an inch, you’re carrying a real house-fire risk every time you light up. A professional sweep removes it completely and leaves your home exactly as clean as we found it.
Rods, brushes, HEPA — and zero mess
We seal the fireplace opening, then work the full flue with rods and brushes sized to your liner while a HEPA vacuum captures everything that comes down. Lining, smoke shelf, damper, firebox, and cap all get cleaned. Containing the mess is the part homeowners worry about most — so it’s the part we’re most careful with: drop cloths down, HEPA vacuum running, and a final walk-through before we leave.
The sweep that doubles as a checkup
While the system is open we check the damper action, flue condition, and cap — and tell you honestly if anything needs attention. Most insurance companies won’t cover a chimney-fire claim without professional sweeping records; the visit report covers that, too.

Common Questions
How often should I sweep?
Gas and oil flues: yearly. Wood-burning in regular use: as often as quarterly in heavy season. The honest answer comes from measuring your buildup — which the first visit establishes.
Can I just burn one of those cleaning logs instead?
They loosen some creosote chemically but remove nothing — the debris stays in the flue and smoke shelf. Fine as a supplement between sweeps; not a substitute for one.
