Saratoga Chimney Sweep

Saratoga Chimney Sweep specializes in chimney cleanings and inspections. We are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America.  We are also members of the New York State Chimney Sweep Guild and the National Chimney Sweep Guild, and are always continuing our education.

Chimney Inspections:

Our inspections consist of a level one inspection according to the National Fire Protection Agency (NPPA). The level one inspection is the most common and includes verifying that your fireplace & chimney structures are sound, free of obstructions, and combustible deposits, such as creosote. This also includes checking the readily accessible portions of the chimney, its enclosing structure, and the flue.

Chimney Cleanings:

Most of our cleanings occur from the inside and are done with a high powered furnace vacuum keeping your home soot and dust free. Two drop cloths are placed in front of the fireplace or stove and your firebox and chimney are scrubbed and cleaned with professional brushes. A small percentage of cleanings are done from the top of the chimney for particularly difficult dampers or woodstoves.

Installing Screened Caps:

We offer stainless steel screened caps for masonry, pre-fabricated, and wood stove metal chimneys. All stainless steel models will not rust and come with a lifetime money back guarantee. A chimney cap will:

• Keeps rain out of your flue
• prevent rust and deterioration of your damper door and firebox
• Keeps animals out.
• Discourages down drafts.
• Captures sparks.

Dryer Vent Cleaning:

Dryer exhaust vent cleaning may reduce the drying time for your clothes and avoid potential house fires. Our equipment removes the build-up of lint and other debris from the dryer exhaust.
