Wood smoke leaves creosote on the inside of the flue every time you light a fire. First it is dust, then flakes, then a glossy glaze that is essentially fuel stuck to the chimney wall. A sweep takes it out before it gets to that stage.
Creosote is what chimney fires burn. The NFPA 211 standard calls for an annual inspection of every chimney in use and a sweep whenever buildup is found. In the Hill Country most fireplaces that burn a few dozen evenings a winter need a sweep every year or two.
The exact scope depends on your fireplace, the flue and what the inspection finds.
Every job begins with a free professional inspection. The final scope depends on the home, the system and what we find.
we look up the flue, check the firebox and damper, and photograph what is there

Inspected every year, swept whenever there is buildup. A fireplace used a few dozen evenings a winter usually needs a sweep every year or two. One that burns most nights needs it every year.
It is condensed wood smoke: dust first, then flakes, then a hard glaze. The glaze is what chimney fires burn, and it is the reason the sweep exists.
No. We cover the hearth, seal the firebox opening and run a HEPA vacuum the whole time. The room looks the same when we leave.
Yes. Every sweep starts with a free inspection and photos. If the flue is clean, we tell you and you owe nothing.
One to two hours for a typical masonry fireplace, less for a prefab unit.
