Mountain View Chimney Sweep Services Near Me

Local Chimney Service in Mountain View

A fireplace should give warmth and comfort, not smoke or odor. If soot stains your glass quickly, smoke drifts into the room, or it’s been more than a year since service, it’s time for chimney sweep services. Ductech provides professional cleaning in Mountain View with neat, careful work. We protect your home, sweep the flue top to bottom, and contain dust with HEPA vacuums. Our service carries a warranty, and any replacement parts are original-spec with a parts warranty. Same-day visits are often available.

Why chimney sweeping matters

• Fire safety. Creosote and soot can ignite if left inside.
• Better draft. A clean flue pulls smoke outside, not back into the living room.
• Efficiency. Fires start easier, burn hotter, and last longer.
• Durability. Removing acidic buildup protects liners, mortar, and dampers.
• Cleaner home. No soot smell or flakes on the hearth.

What’s included

• Brushing of the flue with the right rods and heads.
• Vacuuming of the smoke chamber and smoke shelf.
• Cleaning around the firebox opening.
• Checking and freeing damper movement.
• Inspecting the cap, crown, and flashing from safe access.
• Capturing soot and debris with HEPA gear.
• Photo proof and simple notes before we leave.

Additional Services — Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vents also need airflow. Lint and moisture clog elbows and roof caps, making laundry take longer and raising fire risk. Our dryer vent cleaning clears the lint trap, transition connector, ducts, and exterior vent. We use brushes and HEPA vacuums, free stuck flaps, and confirm airflow with live testing. Unsafe foil connectors can be replaced with smooth UL-2158A ducts and proper hoods. Parts are original-spec and carry a parts warranty. Most Mountain View homes need service yearly; heavy use may need it every 6–9 months. Learn more here.

Additional Services — Air Duct Cleaning

Your HVAC system moves air through every room. Dust, pollen, and debris build inside, lowering comfort. Our air duct cleaning restores airflow. We brush and vacuum ducts, wash registers, and contain debris with HEPA equipment. No harsh chemicals by default; on request, we use a low-odor, eco-friendly sanitizer. Homes in Mountain View benefit from cleaning every 2–3 years; with pets or allergies, every 18–24 months. More details are here.

FAQ — Chimney Sweep Services in Mountain View

How long does cleaning take?
Most jobs finish in 45–90 minutes. Complex or tall chimneys may take longer.

Do you clean gas fireplaces too?
Yes. Gas units still leave residue that narrows draft. We clean flues, check dampers, and tidy the firebox.

Do you need roof access?
Only if your chimney terminates at the roof and safe access is possible.

Will it be messy?
No. We protect floors, use HEPA vacuums, and wipe the hearth clean.

Do you use chemicals?
No. Sweeping is mechanical. Optional sanitizer is eco-friendly.

How do I know it’s time again?
If smoke lingers at startup, glass blackens quickly, or soot odor appears with the damper open, it’s time to book again.
