Chimney Sweeping Anaheim

Our trained chimney sweeps use industry-grade equipment to remove flammable creosote and drafting obstructions from your chimney flue. We recommend that all active chimneys be swept once a year.

Creosote removal: This substance forms during fireplace use and is highly flammable. Creosote causes most of the chimney fires in and around Anaheim each year.

Drafting obstructions: Tree debris, animal nests and dead small animals can block the flow of smoke and send deadly carbon monoxide into your home.

If it’s been more than a year since your chimney was swept, call us today.

Level 1 inspection: A basic inspection that should be performed once a year for active fireplaces and chimneys.

Level 2 inspection: An inspection that includes video imaging when:

The home is being sold
Damage is suspected in areas that aren’t readily accessible
You’re adding a new appliance to the chimney or otherwise modifying the system

Level 3 inspection: The most thorough inspection, called for when severe damage is known to exist.

Annual chimney inspections are the best way to ensure that your chimney is safe and save money on major repairs.

Anaheim Chimney & Fireplace FAQ

How often should I have my chimney swept in Anaheim, CA?

Once a year for any chimney that gets regular use. Skipping a season lets creosote build up, and creosote is the leading cause of chimney fires in the Anaheim area each year.

Do I need a chimney inspection before selling a home in Anaheim?

Yes, in most cases. A Level 2 inspection with video imaging is standard for real estate transactions and is often requested during escrow. Oliver Twist performs Level 2 real estate inspections throughout the greater Anaheim region.

Is Oliver Twist licensed to work on chimneys in Anaheim?

Yes. We’re a licensed California contractor, fully insured, and our crews complete all three NFPA-recognized inspection levels. We do all repair work ourselves and every job complies with California state and Anaheim city codes.

What’s the biggest chimney problem you see in Anaheim homes?

Cracked chimney crowns and deteriorating masonry from age. Many Anaheim homes were built decades ago, and the original crown or mortar joints are often due for repair. We also see a fair amount of Rampart General pre-cast chimney damage in the area.

What does a chimney sweep cost in Anaheim?

It depends on chimney access, flue condition and how long it’s been since the last service. Call (714) 843-9944 and we’ll give you a straight quote for your specific Anaheim home before any work begins.
