San Jose Chimney Clean Company

Local Chimney Service in San Jose

A safe fire starts with a clean chimney. Soot builds up fast. Creosote can harden. Draft slows. Odors appear. Smoke can spill. Fire risk rises. Ductech is here to help. We sweep. We inspect. We protect your home. We keep dust contained. We show what we removed. We keep the visit simple and calm.

Why chimney cleaning matters

Clean flues vent better. Smoke leaves fast. Rooms stay clear. Glass stays cleaner. CO risk drops. Sparks stop at the cap. Masonry lasts longer. Heat delivery improves. You enjoy the fire, not the fumes.

What our sweep includes

We clean from top to hearth. We brush the main flue. We service the smoke chamber. We clear the smoke shelf. We free sticky dampers. We vacuum ash and debris with HEPA capture. We tidy the firebox area we open. We check the cap when accessible. We clear light nesting and lint at screens. No mess left behind.

What we check as we work

We look at tile or metal liners. We note cracks and gaps. We check for glaze, not just soot. We look at mortar joints. We review crowns and flashing from safe access. We confirm cap and spark screen condition. We test damper travel. We observe draft with a live check. We document issues with photos. We explain them in plain words.

Our process (clear and quick)

1. Protect the room. Floor runners down. Furniture covered. Shoe covers on.
2. Confirm setup. Wood, gas insert, pellet, or stove. Masonry or prefab. Single or multi-flue.
3. Contain dust. We stage a powerful HEPA vacuum. We seal the opening as needed.
4. Sweep the flue. Proper rods and brushes. Top-down or bottom-up based on access.
5. Smoke chamber and shelf. We brush tight areas. We collect loosened debris.
6. Damper and throat. We free movement. We note wear or misalignment.
7. Cap and crown check. We verify a clear path and basic weather defense.
8. Draft test. Smoke should go up, not out. We confirm that.
9. Show and advise. We share photos. We list simple next steps. You see the change.

Signs you need a sweep now

• Birds or debris at the cap.

Safety habits that help

Use seasoned wood. Keep it dry and split. Warm the flue with kindling. Open the damper fully. Do not burn trash or treated wood. Store ash in a metal can with a lid. Keep rugs and décor away from the opening. Test smoke and CO alarms monthly. Small habits prevent big problems.

How often to schedule

Most homes: once a year.
Heavy burning: every 6–12 months.
After repairs: sweep and test draft.
After a long idle period: clean before the season.
