Chimney Sweep Inspection Process

Our Complete Cleaning Process

We start with a thorough inspection using video cameras to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guesswork about what’s hiding in your flue.

Then we set up containment systems-drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and powerful vacuums-to capture every particle of soot and debris. Our certified sweeps use professional-grade brushes and tools to scrub creosote buildup from every surface.

We clean the smoke shelf, damper, and firebox, then inspect your chimney crown and cap for damage. You get a detailed report with photos showing what we found and what needs attention. The whole process takes about 90 minutes, and we guarantee zero mess in your home.

What Every Service Includes

Every chimney sweeping includes a Level 1 inspection, complete flue cleaning, and comprehensive safety assessment. We check for bird nests, structural damage, and proper ventilation-the issues that cause real problems.

In Audubon, we see plenty of older chimneys that haven’t been maintained properly. Many have damaged liners or crowns that let water in during our wet New Jersey winters. We catch these problems early, before they turn into expensive emergencies.

You also get our written report with photos, plus specific recommendations for any maintenance that will keep your chimney working safely. We handle everything from basic cleaning to complete rebuilds, so you never have to wonder if the job was done right.

How often should I have my chimney swept in Audubon, NJ?

The National Fire Protection Association requires annual chimney inspections and cleaning-no exceptions. If you burn wood regularly, more than a few times per month, you might need cleaning twice a year.Even if you rarely use your fireplace, annual cleaning is still necessary. Birds build nests, debris accumulates, and structural problems develop whether you’re burning fires or not.In Audubon’s climate, we recommend scheduling your cleaning in late summer or early fall, before you need your fireplace. This gives you time to address any issues we find before heating season starts.

What does professional chimney sweeping cost in Audubon?

Most chimney sweeping in the Audubon area costs between $150-$300 for standard cleaning and Level 1 inspection. The exact price depends on your chimney’s condition, height, and how easy it is to access.If we find problems during inspection-like damaged liners or blocked flues-additional work might be needed. We always give you a clear estimate before doing any extra work, no surprises.We offer free estimates and senior discounts. The cost of proper maintenance is always less than dealing with chimney fires or major structural repairs later.

How do I know if my chimney needs cleaning?

White staining on the outside of your chimney usually means water damage. Strong odors coming from your fireplace, especially in summer, often indicate creosote buildup that needs immediate attention.If fires are hard to start or smoke enters your room instead of going up the chimney, you likely have a blockage or draft problem. Rust on your damper or firebox also signals moisture issues that need professional attention.The safest approach is annual inspection regardless of these warning signs. Many serious problems-like damaged liners or carbon monoxide leaks-aren’t visible until a professional examines your system.

Will chimney cleaning make a mess in my house?

Professional chimney sweeps use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and powerful vacuum systems to contain all soot and debris. When done properly, there should be absolutely no mess in your home.We seal off your fireplace opening and use negative pressure to pull everything into our vacuum system. Any reputable company guarantees no mess-if they don’t offer that guarantee, find someone else.Before we start, we’ll move furniture and cover anything near your fireplace. The whole process is designed to be cleaner than most home improvement projects you’ve had done.

Can I clean my own chimney to save money?

Chimney cleaning requires specialized equipment, safety training, and the ability to identify structural problems that could kill your family. Most homeowners don’t have the tools or experience to do it safely.Professional sweeps carry insurance, follow strict safety protocols, and know what to look for during inspection. We can spot problems like damaged liners, crown issues, or ventilation problems that untrained eyes miss completely.The cost of professional cleaning is minimal compared to the risks of improper cleaning or missing serious safety issues. This isn’t the place to cut corners on your family’s safety.

Do gas fireplaces need chimney sweeping too?

Yes, gas fireplaces still need annual inspection and cleaning. While they don’t produce creosote like wood-burning fireplaces, they can develop other dangerous problems.Bird nests, debris, and structural issues affect gas chimneys just like wood-burning ones. The venting system needs to work properly to prevent carbon monoxide from entering your home-a silent killer.Gas appliances also produce water vapor that can cause corrosion and liner damage over time. Regular inspection catches these problems before they become dangerous or expensive to fix.
