Chimney Sweeping in Waukesha

A chimney sweep removes creosote, soot and blockages that can cause chimney fires and poor draft. Every sweep includes:

Flue brushing and blockage removal
A check of the firebox, damper and smoke shelf
A cap, crown and flashing check
Drop cloths and a HEPA vacuum to keep soot out of your home

A sweep takes about an hour, or about two hours with an inspection. We sweep wood fireplaces, wood stoves, fireplace inserts, gas fireplaces and furnace flues.

Serving Homes Across Waukesha County

Waukesha County has everything from older brick homes near downtown Waukesha to newer subdivisions with factory-built fireplaces and gas inserts. Each type of chimney has its own common problems. Older masonry chimneys tend to need tuckpointing, flashing work and rain caps, while newer homes often need regular flue cleaning and a check of the cap and chase top. We work on both, and we tailor our recommendations to the chimney you actually have rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist. If you are not sure what kind of system you have, we will identify it during the visit and explain how to care for it between appointments.

What to Expect When You Call

When you call (414) 350-4263, tell us what you are noticing and what kind of fireplace, stove or appliance you have. We will set up a visit that fits your schedule, Monday to Friday 9 to 5 or Saturday 9 to 3. On site, we protect your floors and furniture, look the chimney over carefully, and walk you through what we see. If repairs are needed, you get a written estimate first, so there are no surprises. When the job is finished, we clean up completely and share before and after photos of repair work. You can also reach us online if that is easier.
