Chimney Sweeping Garden Grove
Our expert Orange County chimney sweeps take great pride in cleaning our customers’ chimneys and reducing the chance of fire and malfunction. Why should you have your chimney cleaned?
Remove creosote: We use specialized tools to remove flammable creosote, which is the cause of most chimney fires in the Garden Grove area each year.
Remove debris: Leaves, twigs, the nests of small animals and other debris can narrow the chimney flue and cause dangerous carbon monoxide and smoke to enter your home.
Only a licensed, trained chimney sweep should be allowed to clean or work on your Garden Grove chimney. Oliver Twist is a proud member of the Golden State Chimney Sweep Guild.
Chimney Inspections
Chimneys are normally inspected during a chimney sweeping job, but you can schedule a chimney inspection at any time. Oliver Twist offers all three NFPA-recognized levels of professional chimney inspection.
Our Garden Grove chimney inspectors perform basic safety inspections, which cover all readily accessible areas of your chimney structure. We also perform special inspections:
- When your home is being sold
- When you’re adding a different appliance to the chimney or modifying your system in some way
- When a chimney fire, earthquake or other event is thought to have caused “unseen” damage
- When major damage is known to exist
Many of our inspections include video imaging to allow us to see hidden areas within your chimney. All of our inspections are designed to find trouble as early as possible so it can be resolved quickly.

Garden Grove Chimney & Fireplace FAQ
How often should I have my chimney swept in Garden Grove, 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 Orange County each year.
Do I need a chimney inspection before selling a home in Garden Grove?
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 Garden Grove and the surrounding area.

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 Garden Grove city codes.
What’s the biggest chimney problem you see in Garden Grove homes?
Cracked chimney crowns and deteriorating masonry from age. Many Garden Grove homes were built decades ago, and the original crown or mortar joints are often due for repair. We also see plenty of animal intrusion in chimneys that go unused for long stretches.
