Chimney Sweeping Process Lewisville

How We Clean Your Chimney Right

First, we protect your home. Drop cloths go down, furniture gets covered, and powerful vacuums are set up to contain any debris. No mess, no cleanup for you afterward. Next comes the actual cleaning. Using specialized brushes and professional-grade equipment, we scrub every inch of your chimney flue, removing creosote, soot, and any blockages. The smoke chamber, damper, and firebox all get thoroughly cleaned. Finally, we inspect everything. While we’re cleaning, we’re also checking for cracks, damaged liners, or other issues that could cause problems. You get a detailed report of what we found and what, if anything, needs attention. Most cleanings take 45-90 minutes, and you’ll know exactly what condition your chimney is in when we’re done.

What's Included in Every Service Call

Every chimney sweeping includes a Level 1 inspection – that’s the comprehensive visual check that New Jersey requires annually. We examine your chimney structure, check for animal nests or debris, and test the damper operation. In Lewisville, where many homes were built in the 1960s and 70s, older chimneys often need liner attention. We can spot these issues early, before they become expensive problems. We also handle the unique challenges of New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles that can crack masonry and damage chimney crowns. You also get our guarantee. If we miss something or you’re not satisfied with the cleaning, we come back at no charge. Plus, we provide documentation that satisfies insurance requirements and helps with home sales. It’s not just a cleaning – it’s complete chimney care that protects your investment.

How often should I have my chimney swept in New Jersey?

New Jersey law requires annual chimney inspections, and most chimneys need cleaning at least once a year. If you use your fireplace regularly – more than a few times per month during heating season – you might need cleaning twice a year. The frequency really depends on how much you burn and what type of wood you use. Softwoods like pine create more creosote than hardwoods like oak. If you burn more than a cord of wood per year, or if you notice any smoke entering your room, it’s time for a cleaning regardless of when you last had it done.

What happens if my chimney hasn't been cleaned in years?

Neglected chimneys are dangerous, but they’re not beyond help. Heavy creosote buildup takes longer to remove and costs more to clean, but professional equipment can handle even the worst cases. The real concern is structural damage. Years of acidic creosote can eat away at your chimney liner and mortar joints. If the damage is severe, you might need repairs before the chimney is safe to use. That’s why the inspection is so important – it identifies problems before they become emergencies. Don’t wait if it’s been years. The longer you put it off, the more expensive and complicated the fix becomes.

Do gas fireplaces need chimney cleaning too?

Yes, gas fireplaces still need annual cleaning and inspection. While they don’t produce creosote like wood-burning fireplaces, they can still develop problems that affect safety and performance. Gas appliances can have issues with their venting systems, and animals or debris can block the flue just like with wood-burning chimneys. The inspection also checks for proper gas connections and ensures carbon monoxide isn’t leaking into your home. New Jersey building codes require annual inspections for all chimney systems, regardless of fuel type. It’s about safety, not just cleanliness.

How much does chimney sweeping cost in Lewisville?

Professional chimney sweeping in New Jersey typically costs between $150-$300 for a standard cleaning and inspection. The exact price depends on your chimney’s condition, height, and accessibility. If your chimney needs repairs or has heavy buildup from years of neglect, the cost will be higher. However, regular maintenance is much cheaper than emergency repairs or dealing with fire damage. We provide free estimates, so you’ll know the exact cost before any work begins. Most homeowners find that annual cleaning saves them money compared to dealing with problems later.

What should I do to prepare for chimney cleaning?

Clear the area around your fireplace and remove any decorations from the mantel. If you have logs in the firebox, remove them, and clean out any ash or debris beforehand – this saves time and money. Make sure there’s clear access to your roof and chimney. Trim any tree branches that might interfere with the work, and let us know about any roof damage or concerns. Most importantly, don’t use your fireplace for at least 12 hours before the cleaning. The chimney needs to be cool for safe and effective cleaning.

How do I know if my chimney needs immediate attention?

Call immediately if you notice smoke entering your room, white staining on the outside of your chimney, or rust on your damper or firebox. These are signs of serious problems that can’t wait for your annual cleaning. Other warning signs include animals or birds in your chimney, damaged chimney crown or cap, or a strong odor coming from your fireplace even when it’s not in use. If your fires are hard to start or don’t burn well, that’s also a sign of ventilation problems. When in doubt, get it checked. Emergency repairs are always more expensive than preventive maintenance, and some chimney problems can be life-threatening if ignored.
