Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been driving out to the 33023 ZIP since 1984. Andover sits in that quiet pocket of South Broward where the streets still feel like the 1960s, with CBS ranch homes lining blocks between Pembroke Road and Stirling Road. You know your neighbors. You’ve probably lived in the same house since the kids were small. And your chimney, if you have one, likely hasn’t seen a flame in years. That’s the reality of Andover’s subtropical climate - wood-burning fires are a rarity, but chimneys still deteriorate. Moisture, salt air from seven miles east, and wildlife find them anyway. Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team treats every Andover call as a structural wellness check, not just a brush-and-vacuum routine.

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

Forty-two years in this region means we’ve watched Broward County’s housing stock age in real time. The mid-century ranch homes dominating Andover’s streets were built during the county’s post-war boom, and any original chimneys on those properties have sat through decades of humidity cycles, tropical storms, and salt-laden air without proper attention. We document what we find with photos and a plain-English verdict - no jargon, no scare tactics.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and complete most jobs in a single visit. When we say we’ll arrive between 8 and 10 AM, we mean it. Andover residents don’t have patience for contractors who ghost or reschedule - neither do we. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing: if it’s not right, we come back, no arguing, no paperwork to dig up.

Calls to (844) 803-1545 reach a live person 24 hours a day. Not a callback queue. Not an app. A human who knows the difference between a flue liner and a chimney crown, and who can get you on the schedule for tomorrow if something’s urgent.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Andover

Level 1 Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the baseline visual check recommended annually by the National Fire Protection Association. In Andover, where most chimneys haven’t burned wood in years, this service often reveals the obvious: a clean but deteriorating structure. We examine accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, and appliance connection. For the typical CBS ranch home off 72nd Avenue or near the Andover Golf Course & Country Club, this takes about 45 minutes. Cost runs $150-$195. If we spot efflorescence on the exterior brick or suspect moisture intrusion, we’ll recommend a Level 2 before you spend another humid summer with compromised mortar.

Level 2 Inspection

This is what most Andover chimneys actually need. Our Level 2 camera inspection drops a high-resolution device the full length of the flue, documenting every crack, gap, and surprise. Given Andover’s distinctive wildlife pressure - green iguanas have established dense populations across South Broward and regularly nest in unused flues - we’ve pulled camera footage showing iguana debris, nesting material, and occasionally the animal itself. You’ll see the photos. We’ll explain what they mean in plain English. Level 2 inspections run $250-$375 and include a written verdict with recommendations ranked by urgency, not by commission.

Creosote Removal

Honest assessment: creosote buildup is rarely the primary issue in Andover homes. Without regular wood-burning fires, there’s little fuel to create the glazed deposits we see in northern climates. When we do perform creosote removal here, it’s typically for a homeowner who’s recently converted a decorative fireplace to gas logs and wants a clean start, or for a property near Stirling Road that’s changed hands after decades of neglect. The service runs $175-$275 depending on flue accessibility and deposit thickness. We’ll tell you upfront if you actually need it or if your money is better spent on moisture remediation.

Soot Removal & Fireplace Cleaning

Gas fireplaces in Andover accumulate their own debris: ceramic fiber residue, spider webs in burner ports, and dust that settles during our nine-month off-season. A proper fireplace cleaning restores draft efficiency and eliminates the sulfur odor that creeps into living rooms when humidity spikes in July. We disassemble what the manufacturer allows, clean with appropriate methods for your unit’s materials, and reassemble with combustion-tested clearances. Most Andover fireplace cleanings run $195-$285 and finish in under two hours. If your gas insert needs attention beyond cleaning, we’ll note it and quote Chimney Repair in Andover separately - no bundled surprises.

Trusted Brands We Service in Andover

We don’t substitute builder-grade materials to pad margins. For flue relining, we specify DuraFlex stainless steel liners rated for the coastal corrosion that Andover’s salt air accelerates. Crown repairs and waterproofing draw on HeatShield refractory and Copperfield flashing components - brands that stand behind their products the way we stand behind our work. We maintain local inventory for common repair scenarios, so most Andover jobs don’t wait on shipping. When a technician arrives with the right materials already on the truck, the job finishes in one visit. That’s how we’ve operated since 1984.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Andover Homes

• Moisture intrusion through cracked crowns. Andover’s year-round humidity and driving afternoon rains find every hairline crack in a chimney crown. Once water penetrates, freeze-thaw cycles - rare but real during South Florida’s occasional January cold snaps - expand the damage. We inspect crowns with binoculars and camera confirmation, then recommend waterproofing or rebuild based on what we see, not what we hope to sell.
• Salt-air spalling on exposed brick. The Atlantic’s seven miles east delivers chloride-laden air that erodes mortar joints and faces brick on chimneys rising above rooflines. Homes near busier corridors like University Drive see this accelerated by traffic aerosols. Spalling isn’t cosmetic - it’s structural degradation that invites water behind the masonry.
• Iguana and wildlife nesting in unused flues. This is Andover-specific and increasingly common. Green iguanas, chimney swifts, and raccoons treat dormant chimneys as ready-made shelters. A flue blocked by nesting material creates carbon monoxide risks for gas appliances and fire hazards if the homeowner ever does light a fire. Our Level 2 camera catches what a flashlight misses.
• Original flue liners never inspected since construction. The 1950s-1970s CBS ranch homes throughout 33023 often have clay flue liners that have aged forty to seventy years without evaluation. Clay cracks, mortar between sections crumbles, and the resulting gaps allow heat transfer to combustible framing. We document liner condition with photos you can see, then explain whether repair, relining, or continued monitoring is appropriate.
