About South Windsor Chimney Sweep Co.

Who We Are

South Windsor Chimney Sweep Co. is a locally owned chimney service company dedicated to helping families in South Windsor, CT enjoy safer, cleaner, and more efficient fireplaces and heating systems. We specialize in sweeping, inspections, masonry repair and repointing, chimney liner installation, cap and damper upgrades, and complete waterproofing solutions. Our approach is simple: deliver clean, code-compliant work; communicate clearly; and treat every home like it’s our own.

Chimneys are more than architectural features—they are engineered pathways that must safely vent heat and combustion byproducts from your living space. When chimneys are neglected or poorly maintained, creosote buildup, loose mortar joints, crown cracks, failed flashing, or damaged liners can put your home at risk. Our technicians bring the right training, tools, and respect for the craft to make sure your system performs as intended.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make professional chimney care easy and trustworthy for South Windsor homeowners. That means showing up on time, protecting your floors and furnishings, providing honest assessments (with photos or video when appropriate), and offering solutions prioritized by safety and budget. We believe in empowering you with clear information—so you can decide what to do now and what to plan for later.

What We Do (at a Glance)

From routine maintenance to complex restoration, we handle every part of the chimney system:

• Chimney Sweeping: Thorough removal of soot and creosote from flues, smoke chambers, and fireboxes to improve draft and reduce fire risk.
• Inspections (Level I–III): Annual checks, camera scans for real estate or appliance changes, and investigative inspections when needed.
• Repair & Repointing: Rebuilding crowns, resetting spalled brick, grinding and refilling joints, and smoke-chamber parging to restore structure and performance.
• Liner Installation: UL-listed stainless or cast-in-place liners sized to your appliance and flue configuration.
• Cap & Damper Upgrades: Stainless caps and top-sealing dampers to keep out water, animals, and downdrafts while improving efficiency.
• Waterproofing: Breathable, vapor-permeable repellents and flashing restoration to stop leaks without trapping moisture.

Our Process: Clean, Clear, and Considerate

1. Listen & Schedule: We schedule at convenient times and ask key questions about your fireplace, appliances, and any concerns.
2. Protect & Inspect: We protect work areas with drop cloths and use HEPA filtration, then inspect the system for safety and function.
3. Service the System: Sweeping, repairs, or upgrades are carried out cleanly and efficiently by trained technicians.
4. Document & Explain: We review findings with photos, explain options by urgency, and answer your questions in plain language.
5. Maintain & Prevent: We recommend an easy maintenance plan so minor issues don’t become major repairs.

Code Compliance & Training

We align our work with modern safety guidance and Connecticut building code requirements applicable to residential chimneys. Proper clearances to combustibles, correct liner sizing, durable crowns, sound mortar joints, and well-fitted caps are non-negotiables in our book. Our technicians stay current on best practices and product improvements so your chimney benefits from proven methods—not guesswork.

Respect for Your Home

Home service should never feel disruptive. We wear shoe covers, keep tools organized, contain dust with HEPA filtration when sweeping, and clean up thoroughly. If we work on the roof, we plan access to minimize landscape impact. Indoors, we mask delicate surfaces near the hearth and check airflow before, during, and after service to prevent odors or soot migration.

Honest Recommendations—No Pressure

We’re here to solve problems, not create them. If an issue needs immediate attention, we’ll say so and show you why. If something can wait, we’ll explain the risks and help you plan. Many customers appreciate our prioritized estimates, which mark items as Safety/Critical, Performance, or Preventative/Monitoring. That way, you can confidently address what matters now and budget for the rest.
