How safe is your chimney in Strathcona Gardens, Burlington?
Ten questions, about a minute. You get a 0-100 risk index, a three-tier action plan, and Strathcona Gardens, Burlington price context — no phone number needed to see your score.
A sweep in Strathcona Gardens, Burlington should end with a clean flue, a clean room, and a document showing both. We brush mechanically to the flue's actual dimensions, capture everything in a sealed HEPA vacuum, and photograph the before and after so 'it is clean now' is a fact rather than a claim.
Creosote is the whole point
Stage 1 soot brushes away easily. Stage 2 flakes need aggressive rotary work, and stage 3 glaze needs chemical treatment first. We grade what you have in Strathcona Gardens, Burlington and tell you which stage the flue is at, with photos.
Your room stays clean
Sheeting, a sealed vacuum at the firebox, and negative pressure throughout the sweep. If soot escapes, that is our failure to fix — not something you clean up.
What we check while we are there
Damper operation, smoke shelf, chamber parging, cap and screen, crown cracks, and flashing. Small fixes are done on the spot when parts are on the truck.

What Burlington customers say
4.9 out of 5 from 743 reviews across the GTA. A selection relevant to this service below.
Had to move my appointment once, but the sweep itself was excellent and the crown sealing has held through the winter with no water staining.
Old house with a furnace flue as well. They handled both in one visit and discounted the second one rather than charging full price twice.
Recorded the whole flue on video for the buyer's agent. The chimney line item stopped being a negotiation point the same day.
Punctual, professional, and walked me through every step. The report came the same afternoon with clear photos of the crown cracks they found. No pressure to book the repair.
