We’re Kindling Chimney Orlando, and we serve Longwood families with chimney sweeping, inspection, and fireplace repair. Our work is built on the Cedarwell Care Promise: shoe covers and drop cloths go down before anything else, you get a written price before any work starts, and we photograph the clean-up before we leave.

Why Kindling Chimney Orlando Is Longwood’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company
Longwood homeowners call us because we don’t treat a chimney sweep like a quick brush-and-go. In this climate, that approach leaves behind the exact deposits that cause problems later. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to spot the moisture-related issues that show up in Longwood’s older masonry chimneys and newer prefabricated units alike.
We understand what a Sanlando Springs ranch from the 1970s is dealing with versus a custom-built home in Alaqua. The clay tile liners in older Longwood stock crack over time, and humid air keeps creosote sticky long after the last fire. Our inspections are camera-based, so you see what we see: the actual condition of your flue, smoke chamber, and damper, not just a vague “looks okay.”
When you call us, a live person answers 24/7, because we know chimney questions don’t always come up between nine and five. We coordinate schedules from our South Florida dispatch office, but the crews serving Longwood are local, familiar with the neighborhoods, and they arrive on time, in uniform, ready to protect your floors and air quality from the first step through the door.
Styles & brands we work with





Chimney Services in Longwood
Chimney Services in Longwood cover the full range of what a fireplace or wood stove needs to burn safely and efficiently: sweeping, inspection, and repair. A standard chimney sweep in Longwood runs between $189 and $329, while a Level 2 camera inspection typically adds $149 to $249 depending on the flue type and access. We’ll give you a written price before any work begins, so there’s never a surprise at the door.
Creosote and Soot Removal
Longwood’s humidity means soot and creosote don’t just sit dry inside your flue. They absorb moisture from the air, turning into a sticky, acidic glaze that a standard wire brush can’t remove properly. We use chemical treatments and mechanical tools matched to the deposit, so your flue is actually clean, not just polished over.

Annual Sweep and Fireplace Cleaning
Even if you only burn a fire a handful of times each winter in Longwood, an annual sweep is the right interval. The fireplace doesn’t need heavy use to accumulate creosote; it just needs time, and Longwood’s off-season gives deposits months to set up. We clean the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, and flue, leaving your fireplace ready for the first cool evening in November.

Chimney Sweep Certified in Longwood
Chimney Sweep Certified work in Longwood means the technician at your door follows the C.A.R.E. values: shoe Covers on, All questions answered, Respect for your home, and Every surface protected. Our sweeps are trained in the inspection and removal methods required for Florida’s humid, masonry-heavy housing stock, and every job includes documentation of what we found and what we did.
Level 1 and Level 2 Inspections
A Level 1 inspection is included with every sweep and covers the readily accessible parts of your fireplace and chimney. If we see signs of moisture damage, cracked flue tiles, or animal nesting, we’ll recommend a Level 2 camera inspection, which runs $149 to $249 in Longwood and gives you a real-time view of your flue’s interior condition.
Damper and Cap Checks
Longwood’s afternoon thunderstorms dump water straight down an uncapped or improperly sealed chimney. We check the crown, cap, and damper on every visit, because a rusting damper and a spalling brick crown are the two most common outcomes of Florida rain meeting leftover soot.
Trusted Brands We Service in Longwood
When a Longwood chimney needs more than a sweep, we use parts and materials from brands that hold up to Central Florida conditions: DuraFlex for flexible stainless liners, Olympia Chimney for caps and dampers, and Copperfield for chimney components. We keep common parts stocked for fast turnaround on Longwood jobs, which means less waiting between inspection and repair. No patched-together fixes. If your liner is cracked or your cap is rusted through, we’ll show you the damage on camera and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work starts.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Longwood Homes
- Glazed creosote from humid off-seasons. Longwood’s hot, wet summers turn first-degree creosote into a hard, acidic glaze that resists standard brushing. It requires chemical treatment and more aggressive mechanical removal to clear properly.
- Cracked clay tile liners in 1970s and 1980s homes. Many Longwood ranch-style houses still have their original masonry chimneys. Clay tiles crack over decades, and humidity seeps into the gaps, eating the mortar from the inside out.
- Animal nesting in unused chimneys. Squirrels, birds, and raccoons love a quiet Longwood chimney during the spring and summer. We remove nests and install or repair caps so they can’t come back.
- Rusting dampers from rain and soot. Afternoon thunderstorms come like clockwork in summer. Water mixes with old soot inside the flue, creating an acidic slurry that corrodes the damper and spalls the brickwork above the roofline.
Pricing for Chimney Sweep in Longwood, FL
A standard chimney sweep in Longwood runs between $189 and $329, depending on the flue type, the amount of creosote buildup, and whether your home has a masonry or prefabricated chimney. If a Level 2 camera inspection is needed, expect to add $149 to $249. Repairs like a new damper or chimney cap are quoted separately, always in writing, before we proceed.
What affects the price most in Longwood? Glazed creosote from humid off-seasons takes longer to remove than dry, powdery soot, and older masonry chimneys with damaged liners may need additional inspection time.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Longwood
Once a year, even with light use. Longwood’s humidity keeps creosote sticky and corrosive long after your last fire, so an annual sweep prevents the glaze from hardening into something that needs chemical treatment to remove.
The moisture in Longwood’s air combines with soot to form an acidic, glazed deposit that binds to the flue walls. A standard wire brush polishes it without removing it; we use chemical treatments and mechanical tools matched to the deposit to actually clear the flue.
Clay tile liners from that era crack over time, and Longwood’s humidity accelerates mortar deterioration. Ask for a Level 2 camera inspection during your sweep; it will show the liner’s condition in real time, so you know whether you’re dealing with a simple cleaning or a repair need.
Yes, because summer is when Longwood chimneys do most of their damage. Humidity, rain through an uncapped or poorly sealed crown, and animal activity all happen while the fireplace sits idle. A sweep catches these issues before your first fire of the season.
It can help, but it won’t replace annual cleaning. Seasoned hardwood burns hotter and cleaner, producing less creosote than green wood or softwoods, but Longwood’s humid air will still interact with whatever deposits remain. Annual sweeps keep the flue safe regardless of your burning habits.
If you’ve got a fireplace in a Longwood home, you don’t have to wonder whether it’s safe to light. Call (850) 940-3442 and we’ll schedule a sweep, inspection, or repair with a written price before we start. Danny Cortes and the crew at Kindling Chimney Orlando will treat your home the way we’d want ours treated: clean floors, straight answers, and a chimney that’s ready when the weather cools down.
