What Happens During a Chimney Sweep

Chimney sweeping removes creosote from your flue. Creosote is a tar-like residue left behind when wood burns, and it builds up on the inside walls of your chimney with every fire. Over time, that buildup can restrict airflow and create a real fire risk. Our technicians use a power-rotary sweep method along with HEPA-filtered vacuums to pull out creosote deposits, ash, and debris from the firebox and flue without leaving a mess in your home.

During every chimney cleaning service, we also run a video scan of the interior flue liner using the ChimScan camera system. This lets you see what we see, so there are no guesses about the condition of your chimney. The Twin Cities area includes a lot of older homes, many built in the 1950s through 1980s, and chimneys in those houses have often gone years without a proper look inside.

Minnesota Winters Make Annual Cleaning Essential

Minnesota winters are long and cold, and most Twin Cities homeowners run their wood- burning fireplaces regularly from October through March. That’s five-plus months of use, and creosote can accumulate quickly. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) recommends chimneys be inspected and cleaned at least once a year for regular use. Our chimney cleaning service covers every accessible section of the flue and firebox so nothing gets missed.

We bring the ChimScan camera to every appointment. After the sweep is done, our technician walks you through the video footage and points out anything that needs attention, whether that’s minor mortar wear or something that needs a follow-up repair. No jargon, no pressure, just a clear picture of where things stand.

Chimney Cleaning Service Twin Cities MN

The Details That Set Our Service Apart

Not every company offering professional chimney cleaning uses HEPA-filtered vacuums. Standard shop vacuums can push fine creosote particles and ash back into your living space, which defeats the purpose of having the chimney cleaned. Our equipment is specifically designed for indoor chimney work, and we protect your floors and furniture before we start.

Patrick, the owner of Suburban Chimney Solutions, has been in the trades since 2009 and handles day-to-day operations personally. The chimney cleaning service you schedule is the same one he oversees, and when you call, you’re talking to the person who will show up at your door. Homeowners across the Twin Cities have come to rely on that kind of hands-on accountability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my chimney swept and cleaned?
NFPA 211, the standard followed by most chimney professionals in the U.S., recommends having your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year if you use it regularly. For heavier use, twice a year may make sense. Our chimney sweep services cover wood-burning fireplaces only, so if you’re not sure whether your fireplace qualifies, give us a call and we’ll let you know before you book.
Creosote is a byproduct of burning wood. It deposits on the interior walls of your flue as smoke cools on its way out of the chimney. In small amounts it looks like dark flaking soot, but with heavier buildup it becomes a hard, tar-like coating. At high enough levels, creosote is flammable and is one of the leading causes of chimney fires in the U.S. Professional chimney cleaning removes creosote before it reaches dangerous levels.
You don’t always need to wait. If you notice a smoky smell when the fireplace isn’t in use, see dark staining around the firebox opening, hear odd sounds from the flue, or haven’t had the chimney cleaned in over a year, those are all good reasons to schedule chimney sweeping. It doesn’t have to be fall to get the work done.
Nothing. We handle all the cleanup using HEPA-filtered vacuums designed for chimney work, and we protect your floors and nearby furniture before we start. When we leave, your living area should look the same as when we arrived. If it doesn’t, we’ll make it right.
The process usually takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes for a standard single- flue chimney, depending on the level of buildup and the overall condition of the system. If we identify issues during the video scan that require a follow-up visit, we’ll walk you through what was found and what comes next before we leave.
