Our Commitment to Safety

Regular fireplace cleaning is crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy home environment. Over time, creosote, a highly flammable substance, can build up in your chimney flue. This buildup poses a significant fire hazard, potentially leading to chimney fires and house fires. At Avalon Chimney Sweeps, we prioritize safety above all else. Our experienced technicians utilize industry-standard practices and tools to thoroughly clean and inspect your fireplace system, removing creosote and identifying any potential safety concerns. We are dedicated to mitigating fire risks and ensuring your peace of mind.

Fireplace Cleaning

Our comprehensive fireplace cleaning service ensures a functional and safe fireplace. We begin by protecting the surrounding area with a drop cloth. Then, we meticulously brush down the firebox walls and clean all areas above, below, and around the damper. Using specialized rods and brushes, we thoroughly clean the entire flue, removing creosote buildup and debris. Throughout the cleaning process, our technician carefully inspects your fireplace system, paying close attention to its structural integrity and components. Any potential issues or necessary repairs are brought to your attention, allowing you to make informed decisions about the ongoing maintenance of your fireplace.

Chimney Relining

When a fireplace flue suffers damage or breaches, it is crucial to address the issue promptly. A stainless steel liner can be installed within the existing chimney to restore safety and functionality. Older chimneys may not be designed to handle the requirements of modern, more efficient heating appliances. These appliances produce less exhaust volume at lower temperatures, but the resulting condensation can wreak havoc on brick chimneys. Over time, moisture can penetrate the mortar joints, leading to deterioration, cracking, and potential collapse.

Chimney Accessories

We offer a range of chimney accessories to enhance your fireplace's efficiency, safety, and longevity. Chimney covers are essential for preventing the intrusion of unwanted animals such as birds, squirrels, and raccoons. They also provide protection from rain and other precipitation. Top-mount damper assemblies can effectively address excessive drafts in your fireplace, preventing heat and air conditioning from escaping and improving the overall performance of your heating system.

Chimney Repair and Rebuilding

If your chimney requires repairs, Avalon Chimney Sweeps is your trusted solution. Whether it's tuck-pointing or full rebuilding, we handle all types of chimney repair needs, ensuring a durable and safe structure. We understand that a chimney repair is not simply about aesthetics; it's about restoring the integrity and functionality of a crucial part of your home's structure. Our experienced technicians will identify the root cause of any damage, provide you with detailed explanations, and implement lasting solutions.

Gas Fireplace Inserts

Regency gas fireplace inserts are a beautiful and efficient way to enhance your living space. These hand-crafted appliances offer the ambiance of a traditional fireplace with the convenience of gas. Warnock Hersey has approved the LRI6E and HRI6E models for safety and efficiency, providing you with a reliable and trouble-free source of warmth for years to come.

Animal Removal

Occasional intrusions by animals like birds, squirrels, or raccoons can pose a health risk and disrupt your enjoyment of your fireplace. We offer safe and humane animal removal services, ensuring that any critters in your chimney are removed effectively and without harm.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Maintaining a clean and efficient dryer vent is crucial for safety and energy savings. Dryer vents can become clogged with lint, restricting airflow and increasing the risk of fire. We recommend having your dryer vent cleaned every 12-18 months to prevent potential hazards. Avalon Chimney Sweeps can thoroughly inspect and clean your dryer vent, ensuring its optimal performance and safety.
