Professional Chimney Sweeping & Soot Removal
All homeowners should have their chimneys regularly inspected and swept
Regular chimney sweeping is the most effective way to prevent creosote buildup and hazardous chimney fires. At Four Winds Chimney, our certified sweeps provide comprehensive cleaning services for residential and commercial properties throughout Upstate and Western New York. Using advanced dust-containment technology and specialized tools, we ensure your flue is clear and your home remains spotless. From wood-burning stoves to traditional open fireplaces, we provide the thorough care necessary for a safe, efficient heating season.
Our team’s certified chimney sweeping service consists of a 3-step process:
Step 1: Our technicians will come inside with booties, lay drop clothes down, and set up their work area with their necessary equipment. All our techs use rotary-powered sweep poles to sweep the inside of the chimney while using a 3-motor powered vacuum to ensure a dust-free process. Our sweep is performed from the fireplace unit while proceeding to sweep the smoke chamber and flue.
Step 2: After the sweep, our team does a chimney and fireplace inspection to evaluate the firebox/unit, through the smoke chamber and into the liner system using a 2-headed camera system. After an internal inspection, our technicians go outside and inspect the full external part of the chimney/system from the ground to the roofline, and up to the top. Our chimney and fireplace inspections are completed to ensure your home’s fireplace system is up to code and suitable for use.
Step 3: After performing our certified chimney sweep and chimney and fireplace inspection processes, our technicians will review the report with the customer. They will discuss any findings and recommended repairs. Our customers receive a multiple-page inspection report detailing all findings. We recommend getting an annual sweep that allows us to regularly monitor your system.
