At LKN Chimney Sweep, we’re dedicated to keeping your home safe, warm, and worry-free. Our trained and CSIA-certified technicians provide expert chimney sweeping and maintenance to ensure your fireplace and chimney are operating at peak efficiency.

A clean chimney means better performance, improved air quality, and reduced fire risk—and we’re here to make that happen!

What to Expect from a Professional Chimney Sweep

Our process is thorough, efficient, and mess-free! Here’s what happens when you schedule a sweep with us:

✅ Step 1: Inspection

Before we start cleaning, we conduct a detailed inspection of your chimney and fireplace to check for blockages, creosote buildup, or structural issues. If needed, we use a camera inspection to get a closer look inside the flue.

✅ Step 2: Prep & Protection

We take care of your home! Protective tarps and specialized vacuums ensure that soot and debris stay out of your living space.

✅ Step 3: Chimney Cleaning

Using industry-leading tools, we safely remove creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney, flue, and firebox. Our standard sweep keeps your system functioning efficiently and reduces fire hazards.

✅ Step 4: Recommendations & Report

After cleaning, we provide a detailed report on your chimney’s condition. If we find any issues—like cracks, damaged dampers, or missing caps—we’ll give you clear recommendations for necessary repairs or maintenance.

Why Chimney Sweeping Matters

✔ Prevents Chimney Fires – Creosote buildup is highly flammable. Regular sweeping removes this risk.

✔ Improves Fireplace Efficiency – A clean chimney allows smoke and gases to vent properly, keeping your home safe and warm.

✔ Reduces Smoke & Odors – Eliminate smoky smells and backdraft issues caused by buildup or blockages.

✔ Protects Your Home – Regular maintenance helps prevent expensive chimney repairs down the line.

Specialized Creosote Removal – Poultice Creosote Remover (PCR)

If your chimney has heavy creosote buildup (Stage 3 glaze), we offer a Poultice Creosote Remover (PCR) treatment. This advanced process helps break down hardened creosote deposits that can’t be removed with standard sweeping.

How It Works:

1️⃣ Application – We apply a specialized poultice that penetrates creosote buildup.

2️⃣ Soaking Period – The treatment sits for several hours or overnight to break down the creosote.

3️⃣ Removal – Our team scrapes and sweeps away the softened creosote, restoring your chimney’s airflow and safety.

Note: PCR treatment is an advanced service and is charged separately from a standard chimney sweep.
