About Chimney Cleaning Greenville SC | CSIA & NFI Certified

Who We Are

Chimney Cleaning Greenville

We are a Greenville-based chimney sweep and inspection company serving homeowners across Greenville County and the broader Upstate South Carolina area. CSIA certified sweep technicians and NFI certified gas appliance technicians handle every visit — no unlicensed subcontractors, no third-party handoff.

Greenville's housing stock spans nearly a century of construction — from 1920s masonry in Nicholtown and Parker to 1970s prefab fireplaces in Northgate to 2000s direct-vent gas units in Five Forks. Each era built chimneys differently, used different materials, and created different long-term maintenance challenges. We work in all of them and we know what to look for in each.

Our service area covers the city and county: downtown Greenville neighborhoods, north Greenville communities like Taylors and Travelers Rest, south corridor towns including Mauldin and Simpsonville, and west Greenville communities including Berea, West Greenville, and Parker. If you are in Greenville County, we serve your address.

We carry no-surprises pricing: every job is priced on-site after inspection, before any work begins. What we quote on-site is what you pay. No after-the-fact add-ons.

How We Work

What You Can Expect

Straightforward service without upselling on problems we did not find. Our inspection findings are documented in writing and explained on-site before any repair conversation happens.

Inspection Before Recommendation

We do not walk into a home and recommend a liner replacement or crown repair before we have looked at the chimney. Every recommendation we make is backed by what the camera or visual inspection found. We show you the findings; you decide.

On-Site Pricing, No Surprises

Chimney sweep pricing runs approximately $149–$229 for a standard masonry system. Additional work — liner repair, crown work, waterproofing — is priced on-site after inspection. You know the number before we start. We do not add scope after the fact.

Written Inspection Report

Every Level 1 and Level 2 inspection produces a written findings document. What we found, where we found it, what NFPA 211 says about it, and what your options are. You keep the report regardless of whether you proceed with any repair.

Greenville Housing Knowledge

Greenville's homes span nine decades of chimney construction. We know that Northgate prefabs from the 1970s have specific refractory panel failure patterns. We know that Parker mill homes have multi-fuel residue histories. We know that Verdae gas units are builder-grade and frequently under-serviced. That context changes what we look for.

Phone Only — No Online Booking

We schedule by phone at (864) 794-6932. That is intentional. A two-minute call tells us your address, chimney type if known, and what prompted the call — information that lets us show up prepared rather than starting from zero at the door.

Emergency 24/7

Chimney fires, sudden heavy smoke, carbon monoxide alarm after lighting a fire — these are not wait-until-Monday situations. Emergency service is available around the clock for Greenville County addresses. Call (864) 794-6932 at any hour.

Service Standards

How Every Visit Is Conducted

The same process applies at every address, regardless of neighborhood or system type. No abbreviated visits, no skipped steps based on system age.

Visit Protocol

Exterior Survey First

Roofline assessment before entering the home: cap condition, crown condition, mortar joints, flashing, visible masonry cracking. This establishes top-down context before we look at the firebox.

Drop Cloths and Containment

Full drop cloth coverage of hearth and surrounding area before any cleaning begins. We remove what we bring in.

Creosote Stage Assessment

Before sweeping, we assess creosote stage — Stage 1 granular, Stage 2 tar, or Stage 3 glazed. Stage determines cleaning method. Stage 3 deposits require chemical treatment before mechanical removal and are priced accordingly.

Full Flue Sweep

Top-down or bottom-up mechanical sweep appropriate to system type. Masonry and factory-built systems receive different brush profiles. Gas appliance flue cleaning uses appropriate equipment for smaller diameter stainless or flexible liner systems.

Level 1 Inspection — Every Visit

Visual inspection of firebox, damper, smoke shelf, accessible liner, and exterior cap on every sweep visit. Level 2 camera inspection is separately scheduled and priced when liner condition cannot be confirmed visually or when appliance change, real estate transaction, or known liner history warrants full documentation.

On-Site Findings Discussion

We walk through every finding with the homeowner before we leave. What we found, what it means, what the options are, what the timeline is. If nothing requires attention, we say so and document it. If something requires attention, we explain what NFPA 211 says about it and what the repair involves. You never receive a written estimate without a verbal explanation first.
