Prevent Chimney Fires
Creosote — a tar-like byproduct of burning wood — accumulates inside your chimney and can ignite at high temperatures.
Block Carbon Monoxide
A blocked or poorly drafting chimney can push deadly carbon monoxide gas back into your living space.
Detect Hidden Damage
Our inspections catch cracked flue liners, deteriorating mortar, and water intrusion before they become expensive problems.
Improve Efficiency
A clean chimney draws better, meaning your fireplace produces more heat with less smoke and less fuel.

Visual Inspection
We inspect the firebox, damper, smoke shelf, and flue for creosote buildup, damage, and obstructions.
Drop Cloth Setup
We protect your home’s interior with professional-grade drop cloths and a HEPA-filtered vacuum system.
Chimney Sweeping
Using professional brushes and rods, we scrub the entire length of the flue to remove all creosote and soot.
Firebox & Smoke Chamber Inspection
We check the firebox, smoke shelf, and smoke chamber for cracks, deteriorated mortar, and glazed creosote that brushing alone won’t remove.
Clean & Report
We clean up completely and provide a detailed report of our findings, including any recommended repairs.
A sweep often turns up issues that need more than a brush. We can take care of them in the same visit or come back for the repair.
Chimney Crown Repair
We seal hairline cracks with flexible crown coating and rebuild the crown in full when the existing one is spalled or broken apart.
Chimney Cap Installation
A proper stainless cap keeps rain, squirrels, raccoons, and birds out of the flue — and extends the life of the liner by years.
Tuckpointing
Failing mortar joints get ground out and replaced with fresh, color-matched mortar so the brick stays sound and the chimney stays watertight.
Waterproofing
We apply a vapor-permeable sealant that blocks driving rain while letting the masonry breathe — the right way to stop moisture intrusion without trapping it.
How often should my chimney be cleaned?
At minimum, once a year before the burning season. If you burn wood frequently (more than once a week), you may need a mid-season cleaning as well.
What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a highly flammable, tar-like substance that forms when wood smoke condenses inside your chimney. At just 1/8 inch of buildup, it becomes a significant fire hazard.
Will chimney cleaning make a mess in my home?
No! We use a sealed, HEPA-filtered vacuum system and professional drop cloths. Your home will be just as clean when we leave as when we arrived.
How much does chimney cleaning cost in Memphis?
A standard sweep typically runs $150–$250. Two-story homes, tall flues, or chimneys that need repair work alongside the sweep cost more. We give every customer a free in-person estimate before any work starts — no surprises.
When’s the best time of year to schedule?
Spring or early summer. You beat the fall rush, you give yourself time to handle any repairs we find before burn season, and you’re not waiting two months for an appointment in October.
