Chimney Sweep

Chimney Jim: Chimney Sweeping

Chimney Sweeping is all we do:

Simply put if you are looking for a good Chimney Sweeping you have come to the right place.  Our chimney sweeps are professional courteous and thorough.

We will arrive at the scheduled appointment time or if something delays our arrival, we will contact you and let you know to resolve scheduling problems.

You should schedule a chimney sweeping at a minimum annually and immediately if you detect these problems:

  1. Fire burns strangely: if there is a significant amount of ash and creosote in the fireplace, this will displace and disrupt the oxygen flow to the fire.
  2. Excessive smoke: if your fire is smoldering and puffing smoke back into your home, instead of up the chimney, it is due for a cleaning.
  3. Odor: if the inside of your house smells like a campfire, it means there are residual ashes that have been left behind over multiple uses. We all love that campfire smell in the great outdoors, but not so much inside our homes. 
  4. Oily marks on the inside of the fireplace: this is indicative of creosote build-up and also indicative that it is time to clean the fireplace and chimney. 
  5. Animals: Have a family of birds or squirrels made a home in your chimney? That means it’s time for a cleaning.

Failure to conduct a thorough chimney sweeping can result in serious health issues and also lead to dangerous chimney fires.

In terms of creosote being hazardous to health, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) explains that ‘you are exposed to creosote only by coming in contact with it’.

This page explains what to know before having a chimney cleaning.
