Our Services
Professional Chimney Sweep
Standard cleaning is about more than just aesthetics; it is about removing creosote—a highly flammable byproduct of wood burning. Our professional chimney sweep process involves a deep scrubbing of the flue liner, smoke shelf, and firebox. By eliminating these deposits, we significantly reduce the risk of chimney fires and improve the draft, making your fires burn brighter and cleaner
Chimney Repair & Masonry
Exposure to the elements can cause your chimney’s exterior to crumble over time. We provide expert masonry repairs, including tuckpointing, crown rebuilding, and flashing repair. Fixing these issues early prevents water from seeping into your home’s walls and attic, saving you thousands in potential water damage repairs. We restore both the function and the curb appeal of your stack.
Chimney Deep Clean
If your chimney hasn’t been serviced in years, a standard sweep might not be enough. Our deep clean service targets stage 3 creosote—a hard, glassy substance that is extremely difficult to remove. Using specialized mechanical tools and chemical treatments, we break down these dangerous layers to restore your flue to a safe, operable condition.
Detailed Chimney Inspection
Knowledge is your best defense against fire hazards. We offer Level 1 and Level 2 inspections, utilizing high-resolution cameras to scan the interior of your flue. These inspections are essential for real estate transactions, after a chimney fire, or when changing heating appliances. We provide you with a full digital report of our findings so you can make informed decisions about your home.

Expert Answers (FAQ)
How often should I have my chimney swept?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends a professional inspection at least once a year. Depending on how often you use your fireplace, a cleaning may be necessary annually to remove dangerous creosote buildup.
Is a chimney sweep messy?
Not when you hire CR Chimney Sweep. We use specialized suction equipment and protective coverings to ensure no soot or dust escapes into your home during the cleaning process.
What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a carbonaceous chemical that settles on the inside of your chimney flue. It is highly flammable and is the leading cause of chimney fires in the United States.
How long does a typical chimney cleaning take?
A standard professional chimney sweep and inspection usually takes between 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition of the flue and the level of buildup present
Do you inspect gas fireplaces?
Yes. While gas fireplaces don’t produce creosote, they can still have venting issues, bird nests, or debris blockages that need to be inspected annually to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
