What Builds Up Inside a Wood-Burning Chimney?
Wood fires leave soot and creosote deposits in the venting system. The amount of buildup varies with how the fireplace is used and how the fire burns. Debris can also collect in a chimney that has sat unused.
Sweeping addresses deposits. Smoke, odors and damage can have other causes, which is why it helps to tell us what you have noticed before the visit.
Prepare for Your Sweep
How should I prepare for my visit?
Keep the fireplace unused and cool before your appointment. Clear nearby decorations and furniture so our technician can reach the fireplace, and secure pets away from the work area.

Chimney Sweep Questions
How often should a chimney be swept?
Chimneys should be inspected annually and cleaned when deposits or debris make cleaning necessary. How often you burn, the wood you use and the condition of the chimney all affect buildup.
Do I still need a chimney check if I rarely use the fireplace?
Yes. Little use means less combustion residue, but it does not rule out debris, water damage or a blocked flue. An inspection is useful when the service history is unknown or the fireplace has been unused for a long time.
Will a chimney sweep make a mess in my living room?
We protect the immediate fireplace area, contain the debris and clean the work area after sweeping. You can help by clearing furniture and decorations from around the fireplace before we arrive.
Will cleaning fix smoke coming into the room?
Buildup or a blockage can contribute to smoke problems, but the damper, airflow and chimney condition also matter. Tell us about smoke entering the room so the problem can be evaluated rather than assuming cleaning is the only answer.
Is sweeping the same as a chimney inspection?
No. Sweeping removes deposits; an inspection evaluates condition. The standard sweep includes a visual check of accessible chimney and fireplace components, not a Level 2 video inspection.
How long does the appointment take?
A standard residential chimney sweep typically takes 45 to 60 minutes depending on the chimney’s condition and accessibility.
Can you help if the chimney needs repairs?
Yes. Lioncrest also handles chimney mortar, masonry, cap, crown and flashing work, along with chimney rebuilding. We can explain the visible concern and the next step for a repair estimate.

Chimney Sweep Reviews
Great experience with Lioncrest Roofing & Chimney! They did a fantastic job with our chimney sweep. Not only was the service thorough, but they also took the time to explain how our system works and clearly outlined a few items to keep an eye on for future maintenance. Highly recommend!
The guys were on time, personable, and professional, and did an excellent job! During the inspection, we discovered a crack in our fireplace that was a potential fire hazard. They went above and beyond by providing referrals for professionals who could help us get it fixed. We really appreciated their help and will absolutely continue to use them as our go-to for our annual chimney sweep. Highly recommend!
Lioncrest did a great job of cleaning the chimneys on my 4-plex. My tenants reported that they did a good job and were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Thanks Lioncrest!
These guys did a great job! They were prompt, courteous, and professional. They took their time to do a good cleaning of our chimney and helped answer some questions we had. I highly recommend them and would hire them again! 5 stars!
Very professional experts in chimney sweeping. Will hire them for repairs and sweeping in the future!
Lioncrest was quick to book my pre fall chimney cleaning and was efficient in their visit. I will call them every year to come back! Thank you so much.
Lioncrest Roofing & Chimney swept the upstairs fireplace chimney home in Tualatin, OR. Aidan was quick to answer when I first reached out, and his pricing was clear before the visit. The crew showed up on time, kept things clean, and explained what they saw in the flue. Booking was easy, the communication was good, and the price was fair. I'd recommend them for chimney sweeps and inspections in Tualatin and the SW Portland area.
