Chimney Sweeping Process Westampton

How We Clean Your Chimney Right

First, we protect your home with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. No mess, no soot on your furniture or floors.

Then we inspect your chimney from top to bottom with professional-grade cameras. We need to see what we’re working with before we start cleaning – any damage, excessive buildup, or structural issues.

Next comes the actual sweeping. We use specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove every bit of creosote, soot, and debris from your flue. We clean the firebox, damper, and smoke shelf too.

Finally, we show you exactly what we found and what we removed. You’ll see the difference, and you’ll know your chimney is safe to use.

What's Included in Every Cleaning

Every chimney sweeping includes a complete safety inspection. We check your chimney cap, flashing, and crown for damage. We examine the firebox and damper for proper operation.

In Westampton, we see a lot of water damage from our wet winters and humid summers. That’s why we always check for leaks and recommend waterproofing when needed.

We also remove any bird nests, leaves, or other debris that might be blocking your flue. Burlington County homes often deal with animals trying to nest in chimneys, especially during spring and fall.

You get a detailed report of everything we found, plus our recommendations for any repairs or maintenance your chimney needs.

How often should I have my chimney swept in Westampton?

Most Westampton homeowners need chimney sweeping once a year, typically before the heating season starts in October. If you burn more than three cords of wood per year, you might need cleaning twice annually.The timing matters here in Burlington County. Our humid summers can cause moisture problems in chimneys, and you want everything clean and dry before you start using your fireplace regularly.Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning, but they still need annual inspections to check for proper venting and carbon monoxide safety.

What are the signs that my chimney needs cleaning?

White staining on the outside of your chimney is a big red flag – that’s efflorescence from water damage. Rust on your damper or firebox means moisture is getting in where it shouldn’t.If you smell odors coming from your fireplace during humid weather, that’s usually creosote buildup. Animals or birds in your chimney are another obvious sign you need professional cleaning.The most dangerous sign is smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney. That means your flue is blocked and needs immediate attention.

Is chimney sweeping messy and will it damage my home?

Professional chimney sweeping shouldn’t create any mess in your home. We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and powerful HEPA vacuums to contain all dust and debris.We wear shoe covers and take precautions to protect your floors and furniture. Most of our work is done from the roof anyway, so there’s minimal disruption inside your house.The only “damage” you might see is us removing years of buildup that was already damaging your chimney. Clean chimneys last longer and work better than dirty ones.

Can I clean my chimney myself or use those cleaning logs?

Chimney cleaning logs don’t actually clean your chimney – they just loosen some creosote. The debris still needs to be physically removed by brushing and vacuuming.DIY chimney cleaning is dangerous and usually incomplete. You need proper equipment, safety gear, and knowledge of what to look for. Most homeowners can’t safely access their roof or properly inspect their flue.Professional sweeps also know how to identify safety issues like cracked flue liners, damaged dampers, and structural problems that untrained eyes miss.

How much does chimney sweeping cost in Westampton?

Chimney sweeping in Burlington County typically costs between $200 and $400, depending on the size of your chimney and how much buildup we find. We always provide free estimates before starting any work.The cost includes complete cleaning, safety inspection, and a detailed report of your chimney’s condition. If we find any issues that need repair, we’ll give you a separate estimate for that work.Remember that regular cleaning prevents expensive repairs down the road. A $300 cleaning is much cheaper than rebuilding a chimney damaged by water or fire.

What certifications should I look for in a chimney sweep?

Look for CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certification at minimum. This means the technician has passed rigorous training and testing on chimney safety and cleaning procedures.NFI (National Fireplace Institute) certification shows expertise in fireplace systems and gas appliances. NADCA certification covers air duct and ventilation systems.We’re the only company in New Jersey with all three certifications. We’re also licensed and insured, which protects you if anything goes wrong during the cleaning process.
