Services

What a sweep can do for your home

Most chimney problems start out small and hidden: creosote in the flue, a cracked crown, a nest in the vent. A yearly visit finds them early.

Also ask about caps, waterproofing, dampers and more. Services and prices vary by member company.

How it works

From your ZIP code to a booked visit

  1. Enter your ZIP or call 833-CHIMNEY

    We look up the area-code territory your home is in.

  2. Reach your local company

    Each territory has one member company, so you talk to the people who actually do the work, not a call center selling your number.

  3. Get it inspected, cleaned and explained

    Ask for a written summary of what was found, ideally with photos, so you know what is urgent and what can wait.

Standards

Built on IRC and NFPA guidance

NFPA 211 is the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents and solid fuel-burning appliances, published by the National Fire Protection Association. It calls for an inspection at least once a year and defines three inspection levels.

  • Level 1 for chimneys in regular use with no changes
  • Level 2 when a home is sold, the fuel or appliance changes, or after a storm or chimney fire
  • Level 3 when a hidden hazard is suspected

The International Residential Code (IRC), published by the International Code Council, sets construction rules for chimneys and fireplaces in Chapter 10, Chimneys and Fireplaces, covering masonry and factory-built fireplaces and chimneys. Most states and cities adopt the IRC, often with local amendments, so check with your local building department for the edition that applies to your home.

Home heating and dryer fires, by the numbers

44,210

U.S. home structure fires a year were caused by heating equipment, on average, from 2016 to 2020.

22%

of heating-fire property damage came from fireplace and chimney fires, though they were only 7% of the larger heating fires.

FAQ

Common questions

What is ChimneySweeps.com?

ChimneySweeps.com is a national network of independently owned local chimney companies. Each member serves its own area-code territory, so when you call 833-CHIMNEY and enter your ZIP code, you reach the company that covers your area.

How does 833-CHIMNEY work?

Call 833-CHIMNEY (833-244-6639) and enter your ZIP code when asked. The call is routed to the member company for your area. If we do not have a member in your area yet, the call is answered on our national line.

How often should my chimney be inspected?

NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, calls for an inspection at least once a year, and cleaning when the inspection shows it is needed.

What is the difference between a chimney inspection and a chimney cleaning?

An inspection checks the condition of the chimney and tells you whether it is safe. A cleaning removes the creosote and soot. Many visits include both: the sweep inspects, cleans what is needed, and reports what they found.

Is the sweep who comes out certified?

Each member is an independent local business that sets its own training and credentials. Ask the company what training or certifications its technicians hold, and whether it is licensed and insured where your state or city requires it.

Do you clean dryer vents and gas fireplaces too?

Ask your local company, since each member sets its own list of services. Dryer vent cleaning is one of the three core services on every local page, and gas fireplaces and appliance vents can be inspected for blockages and damage.

Will my request be sold to several companies?

No. Each territory has one member company, so your call goes to the company that serves your area code rather than to a list of bidders.
