Professional Chimney Sweep & Safety

Professional Sweeping & Creosote Removal

A fireplace is a beautiful and cozy addition to any DFW home, but burning wood produces soot and creosote—a highly flammable tar-like residue that sticks to your chimney flue walls. As creosote builds up, it creates a severe fire hazard. A hot fire in the hearth can easily ignite this creosote, causing a dangerous chimney fire that can crack your flue lining and quickly ignite structural timbers.

At Elite American Home Services, our chimney sweeps are trained to identify and eliminate these hazards. We seal off the fireplace opening to prevent ash and soot from entering your home, and use professional brushes and vacuum systems to clean your chimney from the damper up. We also inspect the flue liner, damper, chimney cap, and crown to ensure complete fireplace safety.

When to Call a Chimney Sweep

• Annual Inspections: The NFPA recommends inspecting all chimneys and vents at least once a year, even if not used frequently.
• Visible Buildup: If you see a dark, crusty, or sticky deposit inside your flue liner.
• Poor Draft: If smoke drifts back into your living room instead of exhausting up the chimney.
• Odors: If you smell a strong soot or campfire-like odor coming from the fireplace, especially in humid weather.
