Chimney Sweeping

Thorough, low-mess cleaning that removes creosote and soot and includes a Level 1 safety inspection. The yearly service every wood-burning fireplace needs.

Chimney Inspections

NFPA Level 1 and Level 2 inspections that tell you the real condition of your flue, liner, and masonry — with photos and an honest report, never a scare tactic.

Chimney Repair & Masonry

Tuckpointing, crown repair, brick replacement, and flashing work that stops leaks and keeps the structure sound before water damage spreads.

Chimney Relining

New stainless-steel liners for cracked, corroded, or wrongly sized flues — sized correctly for wood, gas, or pellet appliances and built to last.

Chimney Caps & Crowns

Cap installation and crown repair that keep rain, animals, and downdrafts out — the highest-value, lowest-cost protection for any chimney.

Gas Fireplace Service

Cleaning and tune-ups for gas logs and inserts so they light easily, burn clean and blue, and vent safely, with a carbon-monoxide check.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Clearing lint from the full vent run — not just the opening — to cut fire risk and get your dryer drying in one cycle again.

Air Duct Cleaning

Honest cleaning of your home’s HVAC ductwork — done when it’s genuinely warranted, like mold, pests, or after a remodel.

Not sure which service you need?

Here is a quick guide to match what you are seeing with the right service. When in doubt, an inspection sorts it out — and we will always tell you honestly what needs doing and what can wait.

  • A smoky smell when the fireplace is cold, black tar-like buildup, or it has been over a year since your last cleaning → you likely need Chimney Sweeping.
  • You are buying or selling a home, or you have had a chimney fire → you likely need a Level 2 Chimney Inspection.
  • Water stains near the chimney, crumbling mortar, spalling brick, or a cracked crown → you likely need Chimney Repair & Masonry.
  • An inspection found cracked flue tiles, or you are adding an insert or converting wood to gas → you likely need Chimney Relining.
  • Rain coming down the flue, animals or nests in the chimney, or a missing cap → you likely need Caps & Crowns.
  • A gas fireplace that is hard to light, has sooty glass, or burns a yellow flame → you likely need Gas Fireplace Service.
  • Clothes that take more than one cycle to dry, a hot laundry room, or a burning smell → you likely need Dryer Vent Cleaning.
  • Puffs of dust from the vents, a musty smell, or mold around the registers → you likely need Air Duct Cleaning.

Chimney service FAQs

What chimney services do you offer?

Elite Sweepers handles the full range: chimney sweeping, Level 1 and Level 2 inspections, masonry repair and tuckpointing, relining, cap and crown installation, gas fireplace service, and dryer vent cleaning — all with up-front pricing.

How do I know which chimney service I need?

Start with an inspection. Most issues — from creosote buildup to a cracked crown or failing liner — are found during a sweep and inspection, and we then recommend only the work that genuinely improves safety or performance. When in doubt, call and describe what you are seeing.

Do you work on both wood and gas fireplaces?

Yes. We service wood-burning fireplaces and stoves, gas logs and inserts, and pellet appliances, and we clean dryer vents. Each is inspected and serviced according to its own requirements.

How often should I have chimney service done?

At least once a year for any chimney you use, per NFPA and CSIA guidance. An annual sweep and inspection catches problems while they are still small and inexpensive to fix.
