Chimney Sweeping, PhiladelphiaYour Local Chimney Sweeps in Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia chimneys tend to work harder than people think. A fireplace may only burn a few weekends a year, but the boiler or water heater next to it often vents into the same stack every day from fall to spring. Soot, creosote, fallen mortar and the occasional bird nest all collect at the base and along the flue. Our crew sweeps fireplace and appliance flues, clears the smoke shelf and cleanout, and lays down drop cloths so your living room stays clean. Fall is the busy season, so booking early helps.

Chimney Sweeping for Philadelphia Homes
Many of Somerton's subdivisions went up between 1950 and the early 1970s, among them Lorraine Gardens, Brentwood and Philmont Heights. Homes from that era usually have a furnace flue running alongside the fireplace flue, and both need sweeping on their own schedule.
Bustleton has no row homes; many of its houses are side-by-side twins, with single homes, apartments and condos mixed in. In a twin, the chimney often sits on or near the shared wall, so a clean, clear flue matters for both families.
We sweep chimneys in Bustleton, Somerton, Mayfair, Fox Chase and Roxborough, along with the older rows of Fishtown.
