A clean flue and a warm house, all winter long

Helderberg sweeps, inspects, and repairs fireplaces, wood stoves, and furnace flues across the Capital Region. Every sweep includes a camera look up the flue and a written report with photos, so you know exactly what's going on inside your chimney. This is a demo, not a real chimney company.

Which inspection?

Is your chimney due for a sweep?

Three questions. We'll estimate creosote buildup the way a sweep would.

    Fall fills up by mid-September. Book a spring or summer sweep and save $30.

    Why it matters

    Creosote is the fuel for chimney fires

    Every fire leaves a little tar-like creosote on the flue walls. Capital Region winters mean long burn seasons, and a quarter inch of glazed buildup is enough to feed a chimney fire. A sweep removes it, and the inspection catches cracked tiles, failing crowns, and water damage while they're still cheap to fix.

    • Drop cloths and HEPA vacuums, no soot in the house
    • Photos of every problem, not just a verbal “you need a liner”
    • Report ready for your insurer or home buyer

    — Jason, Clifton Park

    “Our buyer's inspector accepted their Level 2 report without a second visit. Saved us a week at closing.”

    FAQ

    Chimney questions

    How often should a chimney be swept?

    NFPA 211 says inspect every year and sweep when buildup reaches 1/8 inch. For most wood stoves in the Capital Region, that's once a season.

    What are the creosote stages?

    Stage 1 is light, sooty, and brushes off easily. Stage 2 is flaky and crunchy. Stage 3 is glazed and tar-like and needs chemical removal before it can be swept.

    Do gas fireplaces need sweeping?

    They need an annual inspection. Gas leaves little soot, but nests, debris, and rusted liners can block exhaust and push carbon monoxide inside.
