We’ve been driving to Fort Myers since 1984, long before the Daniels Parkway corridor filled in with the subdivisions and gated communities that now define the city’s south side. Russell Haines started this company with the belief that a chimney sweep should explain what he found in plain English, show the homeowner photos they could understand, and leave with the job done right. That hasn’t changed. Our technicians know the difference between a 1978 zero-clearance fireplace in a Villa Pines ranch and a masonry flue off McGregor Boulevard built when Edison’s winter estate was still the only landmark in town. The salt air, the humidity, the six-month vacancy of snowbird properties - these aren’t abstract conditions to us. They’re what we account for on every Fort Myers service call.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Fort Myers

Level 1 Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the standard annual service for chimneys in regular use. In Fort Myers, “regular use” is relative - most fireplaces here see two or three fires per year, if that. But that dormancy is exactly why the Level 1 matters. Our technician examines the readily accessible portions of your chimney, firebox, and flue for obstructions, creosote accumulation, and structural soundness. In neighborhoods like Cypress Lake and Iona, where zero-clearance metal systems dominate, we’re checking for corrosion of the firebox panels and damper hardware caused by salt-laden humidity. A Level 1 inspection in Fort Myers runs $149-$189.

Level 2 Inspection

Level 2 is required when a property changes hands, after any chimney fire or operational event, or when you’re installing a new appliance. This is where our camera inspection proves its worth. We run a high-resolution video camera the full length of your flue, documenting every crack, gap, or corrosion point. In Fort Myers, this often reveals the hidden damage from Hurricane Ian’s wind-driven rain entering through displaced chase covers - damage that sat unaddressed for months while snowbird owners were away. You receive the photos, a plain-English verdict, and a written recommendation. Level 2 inspections in Fort Myers are $289-$425, depending on flue height and accessibility.

Creosote Removal

Creosote buildup is less severe in Fort Myers than in heating-dependent climates, but it still forms - especially when homeowners burn unseasoned wood or construction scraps during those rare cold snaps. More commonly, we find “Stage 1” glazed creosote in masonry chimneys off McGregor Boulevard, where older homes with original fireplaces occasionally see heavier use. Our rotary cleaning system removes hardened deposits without damaging clay flue tiles or stainless steel liners. Creosote removal as a standalone service in Fort Myers runs $189-$249; it’s included at no extra charge when bundled with any inspection.

Soot Removal & Fireplace Cleaning

Soot accumulation and general fireplace cleaning address the residue that coats firebrick, smoke shelves, and damper assemblies even in lightly used systems. In Fort Myers’s humid environment, that soot absorbs moisture and can develop an odor - particularly in snowbird homes sealed tight through the summer. We clean the firebox, remove the smoke shelf debris, and treat the chamber with a deodorizing agent if needed. For homes in Villas and south Fort Myers ZIP codes like 33912 and 33908, this service is often the first appointment of “season,” booked by returning owners who want their fireplace presentable for holiday guests. Fireplace cleaning and soot removal in Fort Myers costs $169-$229.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers

We work exclusively with professional-grade materials from manufacturers who engineer for coastal conditions. For chimney liners and relining, we specify DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless steel systems rated for salt-air corrosion. For firebox restoration and flue resurfacing, HeatShield cerfractory sealant handles the thermal cycling that Florida’s rapid temperature shifts create. Gelco and Famco caps and chase covers are our standard replacements - heavier-gauge metal than builder-grade units, with proper overhang and screen mesh to keep wildlife out of Fort Myers flues. We stock common sizes and configurations locally, so most Fort Myers replacements don’t require a two-week order delay. When our technician identifies a failed chase cover on your Chimney Repair in Fort Myers call, we often have the correct Gelco or Famco unit on the truck.

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

• Animal nesting in idle flues. From May through October, Fort Myers’s snowbird homes sit vacant while birds, raccoons, and squirrels establish colonies in uncapped flues. Our technicians regularly clear nests from properties in 33908 and 33912 days before returning owners plan their first fire - a blocked flue with nesting material is a carbon monoxide and smoke hazard.
• Salt-air corrosion of metal components. Gulf-influenced humidity corrodes chase covers, dampers, and firebox panels far faster than inland climates. We replace rusted components with marine-grade stainless or powder-coated steel from HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco - materials built to last in coastal air.
• Hurricane Ian aftermath in chase covers and flashing. Thousands of Lee County homes lost or damaged chimney protection in September 2022. Exposed flues took months of heavy rainfall before inspection, leaving water stains, deteriorated firebrick, and rusted damper assemblies we still discover on routine sweeps.
• Humidity-driven odor in sealed homes. Soot and organic debris in lightly used fireplaces develop musty or sour odors when Fort Myers humidity penetrates a closed damper. Annual sweeping and smoke shelf cleaning eliminates the source before snowbird season begins.
