Local Chimney Sweep Specialists in San Francisco & the Bay Area
At The Chimney Guards, we’ve been helping homeowners throughout San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area communities since 2015. Our goal is simple: keep your chimney clean, safe, and working properly all year long. Whether it’s your main heat source or a cozy addition, your fireplace deserves proper care—and that starts with regular chimney sweeping.
Why Chimney Sweeping is Essential
our chimney helps remove smoke, gas, and byproducts from burning wood or gas. Over time, a sticky, flammable substance called creosote builds up inside, creating a major fire hazard. Routine sweeping helps remove creosote and soot, improving air flow and reducing the risk of chimney fires.
Other blockages like bird nests, leaves, and debris can also limit ventilation, which may lead to carbon monoxide buildup—a serious danger you can’t see or smell. That’s why we always recommend yearly cleanings, especially before the cooler seasons.
Our Chimney Sweep Process
At The Chimney Guards, we use a step-by-step approach to ensure every job is done safely, cleanly, and effectively:
Comprehensive Inspection
We begin with a detailed visual inspection to check for creosote, damage, or blockages inside your chimney system.
Advanced Cleaning Tools
Using specialized brushes and HEPA vacuums, we remove soot and creosote buildup while keeping your home dust-free and clean.
Safety Comes First
We ensure your chimney is free from hazards so your fireplace runs efficiently and safely all season long.
Report & Recommendations
After the cleaning, we’ll share a full report of what we found and let you know if any repairs or additional services are needed.
How Often Should You Get a Chimney Sweep?
We recommend having your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year—ideally before the start of the colder months. If you use your fireplace often or have a wood-burning stove, you may need a cleaning every 6 months. Our team can help you set up a maintenance plan that fits your home’s usage.
