Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Why Reedley Homes Are Different
Reedley sits in the San Joaquin Valley, where summer temperatures regularly climb past 100 degrees and winter nights dip into the 30s. That swing matters for chimneys. Masonry expands and contracts through the year, and older Reedley homes, especially the pre-1980 stock near downtown and along Manning Avenue, tend to have brick chimneys with clay tile liners that crack under that stress. When the liner cracks, smoke and heat find their way into places they should not go.
Wood-burning fireplaces are common throughout Reedley, and a lot of them get heavy seasonal use from November through February. Valley tule fog and damp mornings mean creosote does not stay dry and flaky the way it does in drier climates. It can set up into a hard, tar-like deposit that a brush alone will not remove. That is why we inspect the flue condition on every chimney sweep in Reedley, not just when the homeowner asks. A neighbor on Church Avenue burning almond or walnut from local orchards is going to have a different creosote situation than someone burning packaged oak, and the cleaning approach has to match.
Our Main Reedley Services
Most Reedley calls start with a sweep or an inspection, and from there we handle whatever the camera shows. Each service has its own Reedley page with the full detail.
Chimney Sweep in Reedley
A standard sweep clears the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue with brushes sized to the liner, and we run a camera through before and after so you can see the condition of the liner for yourself. In Reedley, orchard wood and seasonal temperature swings tend to produce glazed creosote faster than most homeowners expect, especially in older single-story homes. The full breakdown of what we clean and how long it takes is on the Chimney Sweep in Reedley page.
Chimney Inspection in Reedley
Reedley’s mix of 1950s brick chimneys and newer prefabricated units means inspection needs vary block by block. We inspect at the level the condition calls for, and every inspection includes a camera run with a photo report so you are not taking anyone’s word on a liner you cannot see. Older masonries near Dinuba Avenue and East Manning are where we most often find cracked tiles and missing mortar joints. Details on the inspection levels and what they cover are on the Chimney Inspection in Reedley page.
Chimney Repair in Reedley
When a sweep or inspection turns up a cracked liner, a leaking crown, or spalling brick, repair is the next call. We quote the repair as a separate line item with its own written price, and every repair is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. For Reedley homes with older clay liners, flue relining with DuraFlex is a common fix that restores a safe, smooth path for smoke. What each repair costs and how the guarantee works is laid out on the Chimney Repair in Reedley page.
