A properly swept chimney is a safe, efficient chimney. Green Home Services sweeps and cleans chimneys across San Antonio and Austin, clearing creosote and soot from the flue, smoke chamber, firebox, and damper for safe fires all season long.

Safe, Complete Chimney Care

Thorough Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning

Sweeping mechanically brushes creosote and soot from the flue, but a complete cleaning goes further, clearing the smoke chamber, firebox, and damper as well. Our technicians do both, using professional tools and HEPA vacuums to leave no mess behind, and we inspect for cracks, blockages, and damage while we work. The result is a chimney that drafts properly and is genuinely safe to use.

Why Chimney Sweeping Is Important

Removing creosote buildup is the most effective way to prevent dangerous chimney fires.

Every wood fire leaves creosote behind, a dark, tar-like residue that coats the inside of the flue and is highly flammable. As it accumulates, it becomes the leading cause of chimney fires, which can spread to the rest of the home with little warning. Creosote and soot buildup also narrows the flue, weakening the draft and pushing smoke, and potentially carbon monoxide, back into your living space. Regular professional sweeping removes this buildup from the flue, smoke chamber, firebox, and damper, restoring a clean, safe path for smoke to exit. Combined with a visual inspection for cracks and blockages, annual sweeping is the single most effective step you can take to keep your chimney safe and efficient.
