Professional Chimney Cleaning & Inspection in Henderson, NV
A dirty chimney is a serious fire and carbon monoxide hazard. Our certified chimney sweeps provide thorough cleaning and inspection services that keep your fireplace safe, efficient, and ready to use.
Why Chimney Cleaning Is Essential
Creosote — a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood — builds up inside your chimney flue with every fire you light. The National Fire Protection Association reports that chimney fires account for over 25,000 residential fires annually. Regular professional cleaning removes creosote, clears blockages, and identifies structural issues before they become dangerous. Henderson Air Duct Cleaning provides CSIA-standard chimney sweeping and inspection for homes throughout Henderson, Las Vegas, and Boulder City.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Cleaning
Strong Odor From the Fireplace
A persistent smoky or tar-like smell — especially in summer — indicates heavy creosote buildup inside the flue.
Smoke Entering the Room
If smoke backs up into your living space instead of drafting up the chimney, a blockage or buildup is restricting airflow.
Black Oily Residue Around the Damper
Visible dark, oily deposits near the damper or firebox are a sign of stage-2 or stage-3 creosote — a serious fire hazard.
It's Been Over a Year Since Last Cleaning
The NFPA recommends annual chimney inspections and cleaning for any chimney that is used regularly.
Animal or Debris Blockages
Birds, squirrels, and debris can nest inside unprotected chimneys, blocking the flue and creating carbon monoxide risks.
Damaged or Crumbling Mortar
Spalling bricks, cracked mortar joints, or a deteriorating chimney crown allow water intrusion and structural damage.
Our Chimney Cleaning Process
A thorough, mess-free service that covers your fireplace from the firebox to the chimney cap.
Visual Inspection
We inspect the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue liner, and exterior crown for damage, blockages, and creosote levels.
Protective Setup
We lay down drop cloths, seal the fireplace opening, and connect our HEPA-filtered vacuum system to contain all soot and debris.
Chimney Sweeping
Using professional rotary brushes sized to your flue, we scrub the full length of the chimney from top to bottom, dislodging all creosote and deposits.
Firebox & Smoke Chamber Cleaning
We clean the firebox, smoke shelf, and smoke chamber — areas where heavy soot and creosote accumulate and are often missed.
Final Report & Recommendations
We walk you through our findings, provide a written summary of the chimney's condition, and recommend any repairs or follow-up services needed.
Benefits of Professional Chimney Cleaning
Prevent Chimney Fires
Removing creosote buildup eliminates the primary fuel source for chimney fires — the most critical reason to clean annually.
Eliminate Carbon Monoxide Risk
A blocked or damaged flue can force deadly carbon monoxide gas back into your living space. Cleaning ensures proper venting.
Improve Fireplace Efficiency
A clean flue drafts better, meaning your fire burns hotter and more efficiently with less smoke and less wood.
Extend Chimney Lifespan
Regular cleaning and inspection catches small issues — cracked liners, spalling bricks — before they become costly structural repairs.
Remove Odors
Creosote and soot produce strong, unpleasant odors that permeate your home. A thorough cleaning eliminates them at the source.
Peace of Mind
Know your fireplace is safe to use before the first fire of the season — for your family's safety and your homeowner's insurance.
Wood-Burning Fireplace Cleaning
Wood fires produce the most creosote of any fuel type. We recommend annual cleaning for any wood-burning fireplace or insert, and more frequently for heavy users. Our brushes are sized to fit round, square, and rectangular flues of all dimensions.

Gas fireplaces produce less creosote but still require annual inspection for blockages, animal intrusion, and flue liner integrity. We inspect gas log sets, venting systems, and pilot assemblies to ensure safe operation.
