Your Local Chimney Sweeping Crew in Bucks County, PA

Bucks County burns a lot of wood, especially in the hills above Doylestown and the farm country toward Quakertown, and plenty of older homes still heat with oil. Both leave deposits in the flue: creosote from wood, soot and acidic scale from an oil burner. When that layer builds up, a sweeping clears it before it can catch fire or block the draft. Our crew brushes the flue top to bottom, cleans the smoke shelf, damper and firebox, and lets you know about anything that needs attention.

Open 24 hours, Sunday to Friday. Free written estimates.

Chimney Sweeping for Bucks County Homes

About 550 new homes went up in Doylestown borough in the 1950s and more than 1,600 more in the 1960s and 1970s. Houses from those decades usually have a masonry chimney with a fireplace flue and a separate heating flue, and we sweep both on the same visit.

Levittown's builder offered only six house models, among them the Levittowner, the Rancher, the Jubilee and the Country Clubber. Because so many chimneys there were built the same way, we know where soot tends to collect and how to reach it.

We sweep chimneys in Doylestown, Levittown, Warrington, Quakertown and Newtown Township.

Chimney Sweeping Questions in Bucks County

How often should I sweep a chimney I use for a wood stove in Bucks County?
If you burn through the winter, plan on at least one sweeping a year, and check the flue partway through the season if you burn every day. Seasoned, dry wood keeps creosote down, but it never stops it entirely.
Does an oil-fired boiler flue need sweeping?
Yes. Oil leaves soot and a crusty, acidic residue on the flue walls, and if it builds up it can narrow the flue and affect how the burner vents. We clean it and check the base of the flue for fallen debris.
How often should a chimney be swept?
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys and fireplaces, calls for an inspection at least once a year, with cleaning when deposits build up. A fireplace used every winter weekend usually needs a sweep every year.
