Your Local Chimney Sweeping Team in Delaware County, PA

Delco homes tend to keep their chimneys busy even when the fireplace sits cold. In many houses the basement boiler and water heater vent into one flue all winter, while the fireplace flue next to it collects creosote from weekend fires. Either one can clog with soot, scale, leaves or a nest. A sweeping clears the flue, the smoke shelf and the base of the chimney, and gives us a chance to spot trouble early. Our crew covers your floors, cleans every flue you ask about and leaves the room as we found it.

Chimney Sweeping for Delaware County Homes

Llanerch and Brookline in Haverford Township were planned suburbs built along the rail lines, but the big housing tracts came after World War II, along with Chatham Park. Chimneys in those postwar homes typically carry a fireplace flue and a heating flue, and both need cleaning on their own schedule.

Over the past century developers bought up all of Springfield's farmland, and the township is now mostly suburban single-family homes. That means a great many similar chimneys, and we know where soot and debris usually settle in them.

We sweep chimneys in Haverford, Springfield, Marple, Upper Darby and Media.

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 Delaware County

How do I know my Delco chimney is due for a sweeping?
Black flakes in the firebox, a smoky smell on humid days, a fire that is hard to start or soot at the boiler cleanout door are all signs. If you burn wood often, plan on a sweeping at least once a year.
Do you clean the cleanout door at the bottom of the chimney?
Yes. Debris from the flue falls to the base and collects behind the cleanout door, and if it piles up it can block the boiler or water heater connection. We empty it on every sweeping.
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.
