What's included

What our same day chimney sweep includes

Every Same day chimney sweep in Lawrence covers the full flue, firebox, and basic safety check. Add-ons like chimney cap replacement or liner repair are quoted separately before we start, so you always know the number.

✓

Full flue sweep

We run a chimney brush on chimney rods through the entire flue, then switch to a wire brush or Sooteater head for glazed creosote. Loose soot is pulled down with an ash vacuum. Standard masonry flues take 30-45 minutes.

✓

Firebox and damper clean

We remove ash from the firebox, scrub the firebrick, and check the damper for smooth operation. Mortar joints and firebrick cracks get photographed if they need attention. This is included on every same day sweep.

✓

Camera inspection

An inspection camera goes up the flue to check flue tiles, mortar joints, and the chimney cap. We show you the footage on a tablet and flag any damaged flue liner or masonry cracks. No guessing about what is inside your chimney.

✓

Draft verification

After sweeping, we confirm draft with a gauge or a small test fire. If smoke backdraft was your complaint, this step proves the fix. We do not leave until airflow is moving the right direction.

✓

Cleanup and haul-away

Drop cloths come up, the HEPA vacuum runs over the hearth, and we bag all soot and debris for haul-away. Your room is left clean. We have done this in Old West Lawrence homes with original hardwood floors.

How it works

How our same day chimney sweep works

01

Call and book

Call (855) 959-5820 and tell us what you are seeing: smoke in the room, a smell, or a chimney you have not cleaned in years. We confirm a same day window, usually within 2-4 hours, and text you the technician's name and arrival time.

02

Protect the room

Our technician lays drop cloths from the door to the hearth and sets up a HEPA vacuum before touching the firebox. This keeps soot and ash out of your carpet and furniture. Setup takes about 10 minutes on a standard Lawrence masonry fireplace.

03

Sweep the flue

We run a chimney brush on chimney rods up through the flue, then switch to a wire brush or Sooteater rotary head for glazed creosote. An ash vacuum pulls loose soot from the smoke shelf and damper area as we work.

04

Inspect and document

An inspection camera goes up the flue to check flue tiles, mortar joints, and the chimney cap. We photograph anything that needs attention, including damaged flue liner, masonry cracks, or a failing chimney crown, and walk you through it on a tablet.

05

Test and clean up

We light a small test fire or use a draft gauge to confirm smoke backdraft is gone. Then we pack the drop cloths, vacuum the hearth, and leave the room cleaner than we found it. The whole visit runs 60-90 minutes for a standard sweep.

Tools & methods

Tools and methods we use

Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.

Chimney brush and chimney rods

Standard flue sweeping on masonry chimneys. We carry multiple brush diameters to match your flue size, from older 8x8 tiles to larger 13x13 flues.

Sooteater rotary head

Removes glazed creosote that a standard brush cannot touch. The flexible rotary head follows bends in the flue and cleans the full circumference.

HEPA vacuum and ash vacuum

Captures fine soot and ash at the source. The HEPA vacuum keeps particles out of your living space, and the ash vacuum handles the firebox without clogging.

Inspection camera

Documents the flue interior, flue tiles, mortar joints, and chimney cap. We show you the footage on a tablet so you can see exactly what we see.

Drop cloths and wire brush

Drop cloths protect floors and furniture from the door to the hearth. The wire brush handles stubborn soot on firebrick and smoke shelf surfaces.

Chimney cap tool

Used to check and secure chimney caps. A missing or loose cap is one of the most common reasons animals get into Lawrence chimneys.

Real results

Wood stove drafting restored in Prairie Park

Before

A Prairie Park family had a wood stove that would not hold a fire. The glass sooted up within an hour, and heat output had dropped noticeably compared to the year before. The stovepipe had heavy creosote glaze.

After

We cleaned the stovepipe and flue with a Sooteater rotary head, removed a bird nest from the cap, and tested draft. Heat output came back, and the glass stayed clear through a full evening burn.

01

Smoke backdraft filling the living room

We clear the blockage, sweep creosote from the flue, and verify draft with a gauge. If the chimney cap or flue design is the cause, we explain the fix and quote it on the spot. Most backdraft calls are resolved the same day.

↗
02

Heavy creosote buildup in the flue

We remove creosote with a wire brush and a Sooteater rotary head, and use a creosote sweeping log where it helps. You get before-and-after camera footage so you can see the flue is clean before you light another fire.

↗
03

Animal nest blocking the chimney

We remove the nest, sweep the flue, and check the chimney cap. If the cap is missing or damaged, we quote a replacement. A proper cap keeps animals out and is one of the cheapest fixes we install.

↗
04

Damaged flue liner and masonry cracks

Our inspection camera finds the damage, and we document it with photos. Small mortar repairs can often be done the same visit. Larger liner jobs get a written quote with stainless steel liner options from DuraVent or Selkirk.
