Your Local Chimney Sweeping Pros in Lehigh County, PA

Lehigh County winters are long enough that chimneys here get real use. Wood fires leave creosote on the flue walls, and oil-fired boilers leave soot and acidic scale that can block the flue over time and wear on old mortar and tile. If your house switched from oil to gas, the old flue should be cleaned before the new system starts using it. Our crew sweeps fireplace and appliance flues, empties the base of the chimney and clears the smoke shelf, with drop cloths down and the mess kept in the flue.

Chimney Sweeping for Lehigh County Homes

Allentown's East and South Sides are mostly single and twin homes from the 1940s to the 1960s, with some older Victorian houses. Many of those chimneys vent a furnace and a water heater together, and that flue collects soot and debris all winter long.

After World War II, Whitehall shifted from manufacturing toward retail and became a bedroom suburb of Allentown. Homes from that postwar wave are old enough that their chimneys have seen decades of heating seasons, and a yearly sweep keeps them drafting cleanly.

We sweep chimneys in Allentown, Whitehall, Salisbury Township, Emmaus and South Whitehall.

When to Call Us

How the Job Goes

  1. We protect the room

    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 Lehigh County

We switched from oil to gas. Does the chimney need cleaning?
Yes, before the new system goes into service. Oil leaves soot and scale on the flue walls, and if it falls into the base or blocks the flue, the gas appliance may not vent properly. We clean it out and check whether the flue size suits the new equipment.
When should I schedule a chimney sweep in Lehigh County?
Late spring through early fall is ideal, so the flue is clean before the first cold snap. Autumn fills up quickly once nights start dropping below freezing.
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.
