Your Local Chimney Sweeps in Chester County, PA

Chester County homeowners burn a fair amount of wood, from inserts set into wide colonial fireplaces to stoves in farmhouse kitchens and fireplaces in suburban family rooms. Every fire leaves creosote on the flue walls, and a stove venting into a big old flue builds it faster than most people expect. When deposits build up, a sweeping clears them before they can ignite or choke the draft. Our crew cleans the flue, liner, smoke chamber and firebox, protects the room and tells you plainly what we found.

Chimney Sweeping for Chester County Homes

West Goshen grew fastest in the 1960s and 1970s and now has more than 20,000 residents. Homes from those decades usually have a masonry fireplace flue alongside a furnace flue, and we sweep both while we are on the roof.

West Whiteland Township, home to Exton, grew from about 7,900 people in 1973 to more than 16,000 by 2000. Many of those newer houses have factory-built fireplaces with metal flues, which need sweeping with brushes made for that kind of pipe.

We sweep chimneys in West Goshen, Exton, West Chester, Malvern and Kennett Square.

When to Call Us

  • Smoke rolls into the room when the fire starts
  • A strong campfire smell on humid days
  • Black flakes falling into the firebox
  • You do not remember the last sweep
  • You bought a house with a fireplace you have never used

How the Job Goes

  1. We protect the room

    Drop cloths go down from the door to the hearth and the opening is sealed before any brush goes in.

  2. We clean the whole system

    Firebox, damper, smoke shelf, smoke chamber and flue, with rods and brushes sized to your flue.

  3. We look while we clean

    We check the damper, the flue joints and the crown and cap, and tell you plainly what we found.

  4. You get it in writing

    If anything needs repair, you get a free written estimate before any work starts.

Chimney Sweeping Questions in Chester County

How often should I sweep my chimney if I burn a wood stove all winter?
Plan on a sweeping whenever deposits build up, which for daily stove use usually means at least once a season, and a midwinter check if you burn heavily. Burning seasoned, dry wood keeps creosote down.
Can you sweep a stove insert without pulling it out?
Sometimes. Many inserts with a full-height liner can be swept from the roof, but we often need to slide the insert forward to clean the connection and remove debris from the smoke shelf behind it.
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.
