Professional Chimney Cleaning
& Sweep Services
Creosote buildup is one of the leading causes of house fires, yet it's easy to overlook until you smell it. Our certified sweeps provide thorough inspections, soot and creosote removal, and honest repair recommendations to keep your fireplace safe all season.
Why Your Fireplace Needs
an Annual Inspection
Every time you burn wood, creosote — a highly flammable byproduct of combustion — builds up along the interior of your chimney flue. Left unchecked, it's one of the leading causes of residential chimney fires. Even fireplaces that sit unused for years aren't safe from debris, animal nests, and moisture damage.
Fire safety concern: The National Fire Protection Association recommends chimneys be inspected at least once a year, regardless of how often they're used. Creosote buildup as thin as an eighth of an inch can ignite under the right conditions.
Creosote Buildup
Every burn cycle deposits flammable creosote inside the flue. Regular cleaning removes it before it becomes a fire hazard.
Nests & Blockages
Unused chimneys are a common nesting spot for birds and rodents, which can block airflow and force smoke back into your home.
Moisture Damage
Cracked chimney crowns and damaged caps let water in, deteriorating the masonry and flue liner over time.
CSIA-Aligned Standards
Our Level 1 inspections follow Chimney Safety Institute of America guidelines, so nothing gets missed.

Real Reviews from
Austin Homeowners
See why homeowners across Austin trust us for chimney cleaning in Austin TX, air duct cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning.
Professional crew, well-equipped truck. They cleaned our entire HVAC system including the coils. Noticed our energy bill dropped slightly the next month too. Service itself was excellent.
Eli and Avi were the technicians working on our house, and Tom stopped by to check the system as well. They showed photos from inside the duct. After the cleaning the inside looked a lot better.
Called because I noticed a musty odor that got stronger when the AC ran. The technician found a small condensate drain issue contributing to humidity in one duct, cleaned it, and suggested a fix. Problem solved.
Signs Your Chimney
Needs Attention
Not sure if it's time? These are the most common warning signs we see before scheduling a cleaning.
🔥 Burning or Smoky Odor
A strong campfire smell, especially when the AC is off, often means creosote buildup inside the flue.
💨 Smoke Backing Up
Smoke entering the room instead of venting up the flue can point to a blockage or damper issue.
🕸️ Visible Soot or Debris
Black flaky deposits around the firebox opening are a sign creosote has built up significantly.
🐦 Animal Sounds
Scratching or chirping sounds usually mean birds or rodents have nested in the flue.
💧 Water Stains Near the Fireplace
Staining on the ceiling or wall near the chimney can indicate a damaged crown or flashing.
📅 Never Inspected or 1+ Year Since Last
If it's been over a year (or you're not sure when your last sweep was), it's time to schedule an inspection.
