We’ve been driving the grid of Lehigh Acres since 1984, back when Homestead Road was still mostly dirt and the 33936 ZIP was nothing but plotted lots waiting for buyers. Russell Haines started this company with the belief that a chimney sweep should explain what he found in plain English and stand behind the work without making the homeowner beg. That hasn’t changed. What has changed is the condition of the chimneys themselves. In Lehigh Acres, where fireplaces sit cold for ten or eleven months of the year, the problems we find are rarely the ones you’d expect. Moisture, not creosote. Animal nesting, not ash buildup. Storm damage from Hurricane Ian still showing up three years later in chase covers that shifted a quarter inch and let the rain in ever since.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team treats every Lehigh Acres call as both a cleaning and a forensic inspection. The flue may look fine from the hearth. The camera tells a different story.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Lehigh Acres’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company

We’ve served Lee County for over 42 years, and Lehigh Acres has been part of our route since the first spec homes went up near Sunshine Boulevard in the early 2000s. Our technicians know the difference between a 1960s masonry chimney off Lee Boulevard and a prefabricated insert in a foreclosure-era tract near State Road 82. That matters because the inspection protocol changes, the failure modes change, and the repair path changes.

Lehigh Acres customers have left us reviews for decades. They mention the same things: the technician showed up in a marked truck and uniform, explained the photos from the camera inspection without talking down to anyone, and the price on the invoice matched the price on the estimate. No surprises on the bill. That’s not an accident. It’s how we work.

Response time to Lehigh Acres is typically same-day or next-morning, depending on when you call. We’re familiar with the seasonal traffic patterns on SR-82 and the back routes through Gateway that save twenty minutes during season. If you’re in the 33971 corridor or down near 33976, we’ve been there before.

Russell Haines still reviews every complaint personally. In 42 years, that’s been a short list. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we come back. In writing, no arguing.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Lehigh Acres

Level 1 Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the baseline for every Lehigh Acres home with a fireplace, whether you burn twice a winter or never. We examine the readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, and connecting appliance. In Lehigh Acres, this almost always includes checking for cap displacement from Hurricane Ian, rust on chase covers from our 54-inch annual rainfall, and the first signs of moisture staining inside the firebox. Most Level 1 inspections take 45 minutes and include a basic sweep if light debris is present. Cost runs $149-$189 in the Lehigh Acres market.

Level 2 Inspection

Level 2 is what we recommend for every Lehigh Acres home that has changed hands, survived a major storm, or gone more than two years without professional inspection. We run a camera the full length of the flue, document every joint and surface with photos you can see, and deliver a plain-English verdict on what needs attention now, what can wait, and what’s cosmetic. In the 33936 and 33970 ZIP codes, we’re still finding Ian-related liner separation and wildlife blockages in chimneys that look perfectly sound from the ground. Level 2 inspection with camera documentation runs $229-$289 in Lehigh Acres.

Creosote Removal

True glazed creosote is rare in Lehigh Acres given how little our fireplaces get used. When we do find it, it’s usually in a home where the previous owner burned green wood or where a prefab unit was improperly vented during a DIY install in the 2005-2008 construction boom. We remove it with professional-grade solvents and mechanical brushing, never the corrosive shortcuts that damage clay liners. A dedicated creosote removal service runs $189-$249 when bundled with inspection, or $249-$329 as a standalone remediation.

Soot Removal & Fireplace Cleaning

Soot accumulation in Lehigh Acres is typically light but paired with mold, mildew, or organic debris from uncapped flues. We clean the firebox, smoke chamber, and accessible flue with HEPA-contained equipment, which matters in homes where the HVAC system pulls air from the same general envelope. For the 2000s-era prefab units common near Leonard Boulevard and the newer developments off Gunnery Road, we also clean and inspect the metal firebox, refractory panels, and log set. Fireplace cleaning with inspection runs $169-$219 in Lehigh Acres.

We also handle Chimney Repair in Lehigh Acres when inspection reveals structural or component issues, and Fireplace Services in Lehigh Acres for gas log installation, refractory replacement, and full fireplace restoration.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lehigh Acres

We stock and install professional-grade materials from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney, among others, and we keep common cap sizes and chase cover dimensions on our Lehigh Acres service trucks. That means when we find a rusted Gelco cap or a cracked HeatShield liner during your sweep, we can often resolve it same visit rather than ordering parts and making you wait. No builder-grade substitutes. The brands we carry are the ones that other sweeps call us to source.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Lehigh Acres Homes

• Moisture intrusion and efflorescence. With Lee County’s 54 inches of concentrated wet-season rainfall, uncapped or poorly sealed flues in Lehigh Acres accumulate standing water that leaches salts through masonry, leaving white crystalline deposits and slowly eroding mortar joints. We see this in the 1960s-era chimneys off Lee Boulevard more than anywhere else.
• Animal nesting from displaced caps. Chimney swifts and raccoons exploit flues across the 33971 and 33936 corridors, particularly in homes that cycled through foreclosure and absentee ownership between 2008 and 2015. Technicians routinely find multi-year nesting inside fireplaces that look cosmetically fine from the living room.
• Hurricane Ian chase cover and cap damage. The September 2022 storm displaced chimney caps and bent chase covers across thousands of Lehigh Acres homes. Because so few owners ever light their fireplaces, the damage went unnoticed for months or years, letting rainwater and humidity steadily deteriorate what was underneath.
• Prefabricated firebox corrosion. The 2000s spec-construction surge near Sunshine Boulevard and State Road 82 installed thousands of metal firebox inserts. In Lehigh Acres’s humid, stagnant conditions, these corrode at the seams and rust through the chase cover before the flue itself ever shows a problem.
