Chimney Sweep in Venice, CA
Soot and creosote removed from your chimney, with a check of the flue, damper, firebox and cap.
Quick answer
A chimney sweep removes the soot and creosote that build up inside a chimney when you burn wood, and checks the chimney for blockages and damage. Creosote is flammable, so a chimney that's used should be inspected once a year and swept when buildup is found.
Overview
Chimney Sweep done thoroughly
Every fire leaves soot and creosote on the inside of the flue. Creosote is flammable, and a thick layer can catch fire.
Chimneys that aren't used often can still have problems: bird nests, leaves and debris can block the flue, and a missing cap lets in rain and animals.
We sweep the flue, clean the firebox and smoke shelf, check the damper and cap, and show you photos of what we found.

FAQ
Questions we hear often
How often should a chimney be swept?
Have it inspected once a year if you use the fireplace, and swept whenever there's buildup. Many people schedule it in the fall, before the first fire.
Is chimney sweeping messy?
No. We cover the hearth and floor, and the vacuum captures soot as we work.
Do you install chimney caps?
Yes. A cap keeps out rain, debris, birds and animals.
