Chimney sweeping is an age-old art whereby trained technicians use a variety of scrubbers, brushes, rods, solvents and vacuums to rid chimney flues of dangerous creosote.

Produced by smoke condensation, creosote is highly flammable and is the cause of most reported chimney fires in Poway, CA, and all of North San Diego County each year. Our chimney sweep technicians know how to remove this substance correctly and safely.

Top 5 Reasons to Have Your Chimney Cleaned and Inspected

  1. Reduced chance of chimney fires
  2. Smoother drafting of smoke and combustion gases
  3. Learn of damage in its early stages
  4. More efficient fuel use and heating performance
  5. Fewer obnoxious odors coming from the chimney

Chimney Debris Removal

We also remove leaves, twigs, small animal nests and other debris from chimneys. All this junk narrows the flue passage and can cause smoke and carbon monoxide to move into the living spaces of your Poway, CA, home.

Carbon monoxide is especially dangerous because it can’t be seen or smelled. It’s known as the “invisible killer,” poisoning many people throughout the U.S. every year. Our crew removes draft-obstructing debris from all types of chimneys and chimney chase systems.
