Sunnyvale Chimney Cleaning Near Me

Local Chimney Service in Sunnyvale

A fireplace should make your home warm and inviting, not smoky or messy. If you notice soot stains, smoke backing into the room, or strong odors after burning, it’s time to book chimney cleaning near you. Ductech offers reliable chimney sweeping in Sunnyvale with neat, careful service. We use HEPA vacuums to capture dust, protect your home with floor runners, and show you photo proof of results. Every job comes with a service warranty, and any replacement parts are original-spec with a parts warranty. Same-day visits are often available.

Why chimney cleaning matters

• Safety first. Creosote buildup can ignite if left untreated.
• Better draft. Clean chimneys vent smoke up, not into your home.
• More efficient fires. Logs burn hotter and longer with proper airflow.
• Longer life. Removing soot helps protect liners, mortar, and dampers.
• Cleaner living. No ash odor or flakes around the hearth.

Our process

1. Prep. We cover floors and furniture, and wear shoe covers.
2. Inspect. We check for cracks, glaze, or blockages.
3. Sweep. Brushes and rods loosen soot and creosote from the flue.
4. Vacuum. A HEPA system captures debris, keeping the home dust-free.
5. Damper check. We free sticky dampers and confirm smooth operation.
6. Cap & crown. From safe access, we inspect for damage or nesting.
7. Final proof. You receive photos and plain notes before we leave.

Additional Services — Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vents clog fast with lint and moisture, raising fire risk and slowing laundry. Our dryer vent cleaning clears the lint trap, transition connector, duct run, and exterior flap. We confirm airflow with live testing. Unsafe foil ducts can be replaced with UL-2158A semi-rigid connectors and proper hoods. All parts are original-spec and include a parts warranty. Most Sunnyvale households need service once a year; high-use homes may need it every 6–9 months. Learn more here.

Additional Services — Air Duct Cleaning

Your HVAC ducts circulate air through every room. Dust, pollen, and dander collect over time, reducing comfort. Our air duct cleaning restores airflow with brushes, vacuums, and HEPA containment. No harsh chemicals are used unless requested; optional sanitizer is eco-friendly and low-odor. Most Sunnyvale homes benefit every 2–3 years; homes with pets or allergies may need it every 18–24 months. More info is here.

FAQ — Chimney Cleaning in Sunnyvale

How long does the cleaning take?
Usually 45–90 minutes, depending on chimney height and buildup.

Do you clean gas fireplaces?
Yes. Gas fireplaces create residue that narrows draft. We clean flue paths, check dampers, and tidy the firebox.

Do you need roof access?
Only if the chimney ends at the roof and it’s safe to reach.

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

Do you use chemicals?
Not normally. Sweeping is mechanical. If needed, we offer a low-odor, eco-friendly sanitizer.

How do I know when to rebook?
If smoke lingers, glass darkens fast, or odors persist with the damper open, it’s time to schedule again.
