Call (610) 884-0366

We know Lansdale’s chimneys. The borough’s dense core of late-Victorian row homes and twins along Main Street, Walnut Street, and the streets radiating toward the train station carries a specific risk profile that newer suburban construction simply doesn’t match. Many of these masonry stacks were built for coal-burning furnaces, converted to oil or gas without proper relining, and now vent modern appliances into oversized, deteriorating flues. Our Chimney Sweep team has documented thousands of these conversions since 2009. When you’re ready, call (610) 884-0366 for a written estimate before any work begins.

Our Chimney Sweep Services in Lansdale

Level 1 Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is a visual examination of the readily accessible portions of your chimney exterior, interior, and connecting appliance. In Lansdale’s historic borough core, we use this for annual maintenance on systems that haven’t changed and where no problems are suspected. The technician checks for obstructions, creosote buildup, and basic structural soundness. Price: $189-$249. We deliver a written condition summary with photos of any visible defects.

Level 2 Inspection

This is where Lansdale’s housing stock demands more. A Level 2 inspection includes everything in Level 1, plus camera-scan documentation of the flue interior, accessible portions of the attic and basement, and examination of the chimney’s exterior from roof level. NFPA 211 requires a Level 2 inspection at every sale or transfer of property, after any chimney fire or operational malfunction, and whenever the appliance or flue liner is changed.

In Lansdale, we push the camera up flues that have vented three or four different heating systems across 120 years. We’ve found cracked terra cotta liners hidden behind first-degree creosote that brushes off clean. We’ve documented offset flue tiles in party-wall chimneys where smoke was migrating into the neighbor’s unit. The camera doesn’t guess - it shows. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job, and we’ve done it since 2009, before regulators or insurers asked for it. Price: $279-$449 depending on chimney height and access.

Creosote Removal

Creosote forms in three stages. First-degree is flaky, light, and brushes off with a standard sweep. Second-degree is granular and requires rotary cleaning. Third-degree - tar glaze - is the dangerous one: a hard, shiny, highly combustible coating that can fuel a chimney fire above 2,000°F.

Lansdale’s older chimneys are prone to third-degree buildup for a specific reason. The coal-to-gas conversion legacy left many flues oversized for modern appliances. A gas furnace or insert running at lower temperatures produces cooler exhaust that condenses on flue walls, accelerating glaze formation. The smoke chamber and firebox walls are where it hides. We remove it with mechanical rotary systems and, where necessary, chemical treatment. Price: $249-$389 for standard removal; $349-$529 for heavy third-degree glaze requiring extended treatment. Every gram removed is documented with before-and-after camera footage.

Soot Removal

Soot is primarily carbon residue from incomplete combustion. It’s less hazardous than creosote but still restricts draft and can contain acidic compounds that deteriorate flue liners. In Lansdale’s converted systems, we often find soot mixed with debris from the sealed-off coal thimble void - a configuration that doesn’t exist in newer construction. Our sweep includes full debris removal, smoke chamber cleaning, and firebox ash evacuation. Price: $189-$289.

Annual Sweep

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection and cleaning as needed. For Lansdale homeowners with active wood-burning fireplaces or inserts, we schedule these before burning season begins. For gas-only systems, the interval may stretch to every two years if the Level 2 camera inspection shows clean flue walls and intact liner. We’ll tell you what we see and when you actually need us back - not before. Annual sweep with Level 1 inspection: $189-$269. With Level 2 camera documentation: $279-$379.

Fireplace Cleaning

Fireplace cleaning addresses the firebox, damper, smoke shelf, and visible hearth area. In Lansdale’s row homes, the smoke shelf is often shallow or improperly sized for the current appliance, causing downdraft and smoke spillage into living spaces. We clean and assess, documenting any structural issue that affects performance. Price: $149-$229 as standalone service; included with full sweep.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lansdale

We install materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, sourced through Haven’s buying network to keep customer prices honest. HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing is our standard for restoring cracked or spalling terra cotta flue liners in Lansdale’s older chimneys - a process that seals the flue surface without full liner replacement when the damage is moderate. DuraFlex stainless steel liners handle the full relines we recommend when camera inspection shows offset tiles, severe cracking, or gaps that compromise draft safety. Gelco caps and accessories finish the job with proper spark arrestment and moisture protection. We stock common sizes and configurations for Lansdale’s typical flue dimensions, so most repairs don’t wait on special orders.

Common Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Lansdale Homes

• Shared party-wall chimney liner failures. In Lansdale’s attached row homes and twins, a cracked flue liner in one unit can vent smoke or carbon monoxide into the neighbor’s living space. Our camera inspection identifies these breaches before they become a health hazard. We’ve resolved multiple neighbor disputes in the borough core with documentation that pinpointed the source.
• Sealed coal thimbles collecting moisture and debris. The old coal-burning entry low on the stack, sealed when gas was added higher up, creates a void that traps water. Montgomery County’s freeze-thaw cycles - regular from November through March - accelerate spalling and mortar deterioration in these already-soft brick chimneys. We locate these voids with camera inspection and recommend proper sealing or venting.
• Third-degree creosote hidden behind first-degree buildup. A flue that brushes clean at first glance can conceal tar glaze on the smoke chamber walls or firebox shoulders. This is common in Lansdale’s oversized, unlined flues where gas appliances run cool. We camera-scan every flue we sweep, and we document the full circumference - not just the easy view from below.
• Improper gas connector installation in converted coal flues. The gas vent tied into a flue never designed for it, often with no liner at all, creates backdrafting risk and condensation damage. We see this repeatedly on Lansdale’s older streets, rarely in the newer developments off Forty Foot Road in Hatfield Township. Camera inspection reveals the configuration; written documentation supports your decision on relining.
