Layers of soot reduce safety and heat efficiency.
Some people avoid scheduling sweeps because they think their fires don’t burn enough to cause trouble. But even occasional use leaves deposits. Creosote from wood or multi-fuel stoves is especially sticky, narrowing the flue. Gas flues can also be obstructed by birds nesting or natural debris, leading to poor exhaust flow. Over time, these problems invite smoke, odors, or even chimney fires.
Ignoring the issue can result in difficulty starting a fire, constant smoke in the room, or worse—hefty repair bills if the chimney lining cracks from overheating. Many insurance policies also request proof of annual sweeps for safety reasons.
Professional sweeping keeps your appliance running smoothly.
Clean Sweep Chimneys helps property owners avoid the pitfalls of a dirty chimney by offering a full sweep service. We remove ash, soot, and hazardous buildup to open up the flue’s airflow. From small stoves to large fireplaces, our team identifies the right method:
After clearing deposits, we inspect the general condition, looking for cracks or signs of damage. If we see a need for additional tasks like lining or vermiculite boarding, we’ll let you know immediately. Our methodical approach aims to restore safe ventilation, preserve your stove’s integrity, and keep your living space comfortable.
Call or use our online form, specifying the type of fireplace or stove you have. We’ll set a day and time that works with your schedule.
Our technician arrives, inspects the flue opening, and lays protective sheets to keep soot from spreading.
We perform the necessary sweep—rotary, viper, or manual—until the flue is clear. Any immediate repair or relining needs are discussed if required.
Once done, we provide a certificate of sweep if needed. We’ll also share tips on how to maintain optimal burn rates and minimize future creosote buildup.
