Chimney Sweep
At Denver Chimney Cleaning, we provide expert Chimney Sweep Services to keep your chimney clean, safe, and operating efficiently. Over time, chimneys can accumulate dangerous soot and creosote, which can lead to fire hazards and other chimney problems. Regular chimney sweeping ensures that your home stays safe, your fireplace runs efficiently, and the air quality remains healthy.
How Often Should You Have Your Chimney Swept?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends having your chimney swept at least once a year. However, the frequency may vary based on usage and the type of fuel you burn:
Wood-burning stoves: Clean your chimney at least once a year, especially if you burn wood that creates a lot of creosote.
Gas fireplaces: If you use a gas fireplace, a yearly inspection and sweep are generally sufficient.
Pellet stoves: Pellet stoves require regular cleaning of the chimney and venting systems to avoid buildup.
If you notice any of the following signs, you may need to schedule a chimney sweep sooner:
Smoky odors from the fireplace
Difficulty starting a fire
Poor airflow or smoke entering the room
Visible soot or creosote buildup

Our Comprehensive Chimney Sweep Process
Inspection
Before we begin cleaning, we inspect the chimney to check for any damage, blockages, or signs of wear. We identify potential issues and provide recommendations for repairs if needed.
Sweeping the Chimney
Using specialized brushes and vacuum systems, our technicians carefully sweep the chimney to remove soot, creosote, and debris. We ensure that every corner of your chimney is cleaned, leaving no harmful buildup behind.
Fireplace Cleaning
We also clean your fireplace or stove, including the firebox, to remove any soot or ash. This ensures your fireplace operates at maximum efficiency.
Post-Sweep Inspection
After the sweep, we conduct a final inspection to make sure the chimney is clear and in safe working order. If we notice any potential issues, we provide recommendations for repair or maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How often should I have my chimney swept?
It is recommended to have your chimney swept at least once a year, preferably before the heating season begins. If you use your fireplace or stove frequently, or if you burn wood that produces a lot of creosote, you may need to have it cleaned more often.
2. What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a highly flammable substance that forms when wood or other fuels are burned. If it accumulates in your chimney, it can pose a serious fire hazard. A chimney sweep removes creosote buildup to prevent the risk of chimney fires and maintain the safe operation of your fireplace.
3. Can I clean my chimney myself?
While it’s possible to clean a chimney yourself, it is not recommended. Professional chimney sweeps have specialized tools and the expertise to clean your chimney thoroughly and safely. Attempting to clean it yourself may result in incomplete cleaning or damage to your chimney.
4. How do I know if my chimney needs sweeping?
You notice a smoky smell when the fireplace is in use.
Your fireplace is producing less heat or not functioning efficiently.
There is visible soot or creosote buildup in the fireplace or chimney.
Smoke is entering your home when you use your fireplace.
5. Will chimney sweeping be messy?
No! At Denver Chimney Cleaning, we use protective coverings and specialized vacuum equipment to ensure that your home stays clean during the chimney sweep. We take every precaution to avoid making a mess while performing the service.
6. How long does a chimney sweep take?
A typical chimney sweep takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size and condition of your chimney. If additional repairs or services are needed, the time may vary.
7. What happens if I don’t have my chimney swept?
Neglecting chimney sweeping can lead to dangerous creosote buildup, which increases the risk of chimney fires. It can also result in blocked airflow, which can cause smoke and harmful gases like carbon monoxide to enter your home. Regular chimney sweeping helps prevent these hazards.
8. Can you clean my chimney during an inspection?
Yes, if you schedule a chimney inspection and cleaning together, we can sweep the chimney on the spot. Our technicians will assess the chimney for any damage or blockages, and if necessary, they’ll perform the cleaning right after the inspection.
