Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been driving to Nazareth since 1984, long before the Route 191 bypass smoothed the run from the Lehigh Valley. Russell Haines started this company with the belief that a chimney sweep should explain what he found in plain English and leave the homeowner with photos they could actually see. That hasn’t changed. When we get a call from a homeowner off Main Street in the historic borough, or from one of the post-war neighborhoods near Nazareth Borough Park, we know the chimney we’re likely facing: either a rubble-limestone stack built by Moravian craftsmen in the 1700s, or a clay-tile-lined flue in a 1950s Cape Cod that has survived two or three fuel conversions. Both demand different approaches. Both get the same thoroughness.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work on the specific conditions Nazareth chimneys present. Call (844) 803-1545. A live person answers, 24 hours a day, every day.

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

Nazareth homeowners don’t hire us because we’re flashy. They hire us because we show up when we say, document what we find, and fix it without argument if something isn’t right. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing - means exactly that.

We’ve built our reputation across Northampton County over 42 years, and Nazareth has been central to that. Homeowners here remember contractors who treated their historic properties like any other job. We don’t. When we sweep a chimney off Center Square, we know the flue may have served a communal stove system in a Moravian choir house, and we adjust our inspection accordingly.

Our phones are staffed by a live person 24/7, not an app or callback queue. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, with no-hassle upfront pricing. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. We’ve found that Nazareth customers, particularly those who’ve owned their homes for twenty-plus years, value that predictability above all else.

We also handle Chimney Repair in Nazareth and Fireplace Services in Nazareth, so if our inspection turns up cracked flue tiles, deteriorated crowns, or damaged dampers, we can address it without bringing in another contractor.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Nazareth

Level 1 Inspection & Annual Sweep

The Level 1 inspection is what most Nazareth homeowners need each year: a visual examination of the readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, and appliance connection, paired with a thorough sweep to remove creosote and soot. We recommend this annually for every home in Nazareth, but it’s especially critical here because of how the Blue Mountain ridge funnels cold northwest winds down the Lehigh Valley. Those wind-driven downdrafts pack creosote deposits into the lower flue sections, accelerating buildup beyond what you’d see in more sheltered terrain. A homeowner on New Street with a working fireplace should expect this service every fall before the first serious burn.

Level 2 Camera Inspection

A Level 2 inspection goes deeper. We run a high-resolution camera up the full length of the flue, documenting every crack, gap, and creosote glaze pattern. For Nazareth’s historic properties, this is often essential. Many 18th- and 19th-century chimneys in the borough core were built with multiple flues serving different rooms from a single stack, and partial blockages or deteriorated mortar joints between flues aren’t visible from below. We end every Level 2 with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict - documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman. If you’re buying one of the stone homes near the Moravian Historical Society, or if you’ve never had a camera inspection on an older Nazareth property, this is the service to request.

Creosote Removal

Creosote forms in three stages, and Nazareth’s heating patterns tend to produce the problematic kinds. The borough’s older homes often have fireplaces or inserts that get burned at lower temperatures for longer periods - exactly the conditions that create Stage 2 (porous and flaky) and Stage 3 (glazed, tar-like) creosote. Stage 3 cannot be removed with standard brushes; we use mechanical rotary systems and, when necessary, professional-grade chemical treatments to break the glaze before removal. This is not a DIY job. The materials involved are combustible, and improper removal can damage clay flue tiles or dislodge mortar in historic stacks. Our technicians carry the right equipment and know when to use it.

Soot Removal & Fireplace Cleaning

Soot accumulation in the firebox, smoke chamber, and damper area restricts airflow and can produce odors that permeate the living space. In Nazareth’s early-to-mid 20th-century homes - the frame and brick Capes and ranches near the borough line - we’ve found that decades of coal-to-oil-to-gas conversions often left residue in hearths and smoke chambers that previous owners never properly cleaned. We remove this material with HEPA-contained vacuums and hand tools, protecting your home’s air quality in the process. The fireplace is left clean, the damper operates freely, and you get a written condition report.

Trusted Brands We Service in Nazareth

We work exclusively with professional-grade materials from brands that have earned their place in the industry through performance, not marketing. For Nazareth homeowners, that means HeatShield refractory mortar for flue resurfacing, Gelco chimney caps and accessories, and Olympia Chimney liner systems when relining is needed. We stock common sizes and fittings locally, so repairs that follow an inspection don’t get delayed by shipping. Famco dampers and venting components round out our inventory for the ventilation work that often accompanies a thorough cleaning. No builder-grade substitutes, no corners cut. Done right - and we stand behind it.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Nazareth Homes

• Wind-driven creosote packing in lower flue sections. Nazareth’s position south of Blue Mountain creates downdraft conditions that concentrate creosote where the flue meets the smoke chamber, a pattern we see far less often in sheltered Bethlehem neighborhoods. Annual sweeping prevents the hazardous glaze buildup that results.
• Lime mortar deterioration in historic Moravian chimneys. The rubble-limestone stacks in the borough center were built with soft lime mortar that breathes and flexes with temperature swings. When previous repairs used modern Portland cement - ironically, sometimes sourced from the very cement plants that made the Lehigh Valley famous - the rigid mortar traps moisture and accelerates freeze-thaw spalling. We spot this mistake regularly and know how to address it properly.
• Clay flue tile damage from fuel conversion residue. Homes built in the 1920s through 1950s near Nazareth Borough Park and along South Broad Street often have clay-tile liners sized for coal or oil burning. The residue and altered combustion patterns from later gas conversions corrode and crack these tiles, creating gaps that allow combustion gases into wall cavities. Our camera inspection finds this before it becomes a safety issue.
• Blocked or deteriorated chimney caps and crowns. Nazareth’s wet winters and freeze-thaw cycles punish exposed masonry. We’ve replaced countless caps and crowns on homes near Center Square where water infiltration had already begun eroding the top courses of brick or stone. A proper cap installation using Gelco or comparable materials, with correct overhang and drip edge, prevents the damage that makes major rebuilds necessary.
