Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been answering calls from Fort Lauderdale homeowners since 1984. Russell Haines built this company on the principle that a chimney sweep should explain what they found, show you the photos, and leave your home cleaner than they found it. Whether you’re in a mid-century ranch off Sunrise Boulevard, a canal-front property in Rio Vista, or a condo tower near the Galt Ocean Mile, we understand what your chimney has been sitting through. The salt air off the Atlantic doesn’t rest, and neither does the humidity. A fireplace that hasn’t burned since last January still needs attention.

Our phone rings at (844) 803-1545 twenty-four hours a day. A live person answers. We’ll give you a real arrival window, not a four-hour guess.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Fort Lauderdale

Level 1 Chimney Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the annual standard for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who use their fireplace occasionally during our brief winter season. We examine readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, and connecting appliance for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. In Fort Lauderdale’s 33308 ZIP and along the beachside corridor, we frequently find that “unused” chimneys have developed corrosion or biological growth that the homeowner never noticed. The inspection takes about 45 minutes, and you receive documented photos with your report.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection

Level 2 is required when you’re buying or selling a home, after a weather event, or whenever the condition of the chimney is uncertain. This is where our camera inspection proves its worth. We run a high-resolution camera the full length of your flue, and you watch the feed in real time. In Fort Lauderdale’s mid-century CBS homes - particularly in neighborhoods like Lauderdale Isles and Melrose Manors - we’ve found deteriorated clay liners, hidden moisture damage, and efflorescence that a standard visual inspection would miss. You leave with photos, a plain-English verdict, and a clear understanding of what needs attention now versus what can wait.

Creosote Removal

Honest talk: creosote buildup is rarely the primary problem in Fort Lauderdale. Our tropical climate means almost no wood is burned compared to northern markets. When we do encounter creosote, it’s usually in a home where the previous owner burned regularly, or where a snowbird has brought northern habits south. We remove it with professional-grade brushes and vacuums, HEPA-contained so no soot enters your living space. If your flue hasn’t been swept in years, we’ll tell you whether creosote is actually your concern or whether moisture and mold have taken its place.

Soot Removal and Fireplace Cleaning

Soot accumulation in Fort Lauderdale fireplaces is typically light but persistent, combined with the real enemy: humidity-driven grime and salt-air residue on decorative brick and hearth surrounds. We clean fireboxes, smoke chambers, and hearths with materials appropriate to your surface - no acidic shortcuts that damage old brick. For homeowners in Rio Vista and Victoria Park who maintain their fireplaces as architectural features even between rare fires, this service restores the appearance and ensures no hidden moisture damage is developing behind the facade.

We also handle Chimney Repair in Fort Lauderdale and Fireplace Services in Fort Lauderdale when inspection reveals damage beyond what cleaning can address.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

Our trucks carry professional-grade materials from Famco, Copperfield, and DuraFlex - brands we specify because they withstand coastal conditions better than builder-grade substitutes. When your chase cover has corroded through or your damper assembly needs replacement, we don’t order parts from a warehouse three states away. We stock what Fort Lauderdale chimneys actually need: stainless components rated for salt-air exposure, proper flashing configurations for flat-roof and low-slope applications common in mid-century construction, and mold-resistant liners where humidity has compromised standard materials. That inventory means most Fort Lauderdale jobs finish in one visit, not two.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• Salt-air corrosion of metal components. The Atlantic exposure in Fort Lauderdale eats dampers, chase covers, and flashing even in chimneys that have never held a flame. We replace these with marine-grade stainless or copper where appropriate, not the galvanized steel that failed in the first place.
• Humidity-driven mold and efflorescence in dormant flues. With relative humidity averaging above 75% year-round, Fort Lauderdale chimneys that sit unused for ten or eleven months become incubators. Our sweeps remove biological growth and can recommend moisture barriers or proper capping to prevent recurrence.
• Wildlife nesting in long-dormant systems. When November arrives and snowbirds light their first fire in a year, they sometimes discover chimney swifts have taken residence. These birds are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. We cannot legally disturb active nests, which may delay cleaning or repair until the birds vacate. This is a legal wrinkle essentially unique to South Florida’s warm climate, and we advise every Fort Lauderdale homeowner to schedule inspection before lighting that first seasonal fire.
• Structural deterioration from non-use in CBS homes. The concrete block construction dominant in Fort Lauderdale’s 1950s-1970s housing stock doesn’t flex or breathe like frame construction. Moisture trapped in a neglected chimney system can degrade mortar joints and liner integrity without obvious external signs until a Level 2 camera inspection reveals the damage.
