Five Star Chimney Repair Thorough & Professional Chimney Sweeping

The team at Five Star Chimney Repair follows chimney sweeping guidelines set by the Chimney Safety Institute of America and the National Fire Protection Association. We begin our chimney sweep services by visually inspecting the flue or passageway of your chimney to determine the type of sweeping and brush that will be most effective.


There are various stages of creosote, a dangerous byproduct created by burning wood, so a visual inspection is imperative to determine if a basic sweep is enough or if we should use more aggressive cleaning tactics. After we decide if a traditional sweep is the best option for your chimney, we'll prepare the area with a drop cloth, vacuum, and specialized chimney cleaning tools, such as a chimney brush and a semiflexible rod. We’ll add additional rods until the brush extends past the damper area and reaches the peak. This allows our Five Star Chimney Repair team to clean the entire length of the chimney, removing any debris and hazards from your chimney system.
