Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Longwood, FL
Kindling Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Longwood families call when they want a straight price, a clean home, and honest answers about what their chimney actually needs. Longwood’s mix of 1970s ranch homes with original masonry fireplaces and newer custom builds with prefabricated chimneys means every job looks a little different. The hot, humid summers and seasonal fireplace use mean that when we arrive, we’re often dealing with creosote that has sat for months, not weeks. Call (850) 940-3442 for a free estimate.
Why Longwood Homes Are Different
Longwood’s historic district and older custom homes often have masonry chimneys that rarely get maintained. In neighborhoods like Sanlando Springs and Alaqua, fireplaces sit unused through the long, humid summer. When fall arrives and families light the first fire, they’re burning off creosote that had months to combine with moisture from afternoon thunderstorms. That creates a sticky, acidic glaze that is harder to remove than the dry creosote you’d see in drier climates. It’s one reason we recommend an inspection before the first burn of the season here.
The housing stock matters too. Many 1970s and 80s ranch-style homes in Longwood still have their original clay tile liners. Clay tiles crack over time, and in a humid climate, moisture finds those cracks and makes them worse. Newer custom homes typically have prefabricated chimneys, which need a different cleaning approach and have their own wear points. A technician who only knows one chimney type will miss things here. Our crews see both, all over Longwood.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Longwood Services
The two services Longwood homeowners call about most are chimney sweeping and chimney inspection. Here’s what each involves in Longwood specifically.
Chimney Sweep in Longwood
A Chimney Sweep in Longwood starts with protecting your floors. Our technicians put down drop cloths and shoe covers before touching anything, because families in Longwood with kids and pets should never have to worry about soot tracked through the house. We remove creosote, soot, and any debris, including animal nesting from the months the fireplace sat unused. Quiet tools are used when possible, and pet-safe products are chosen when there is a choice. You get a written price before any work starts.
Chimney Inspection in Longwood
A Chimney Inspection in Longwood is the answer when you want proof of what’s actually going on inside your chimney. We use camera inspection and give you a photo report, so if a technician says a liner needs work, you can see the crack or damage for yourself. In Longwood’s older homes, clay tile liners are common, and after years of humidity and seasonal heat, they fail in ways that are easy to show. Nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can review yourself.
Fireplace Repair in Longwood
Fireplace Repair in Longwood covers everything from a sticky damper to a full liner replacement. Older masonry fireplaces in Longwood often need damper work or new refractory panels. Prefabricated units may need component replacement. We use professional-grade materials from brands like DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Olympia Chimney, so repairs hold up to Longwood’s humidity. Every repair comes with the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right.

- Caitlin Mercer"First sweep since we bought the house. He put down a drop cloth and used a vacuum so there wasn't a speck of soot anywhere, which with light carpet I was dreading. Showed me the flue on camera."
- Lorraine Petty"Careful and clean from start to finish. He wore booties inside and taped off the hearth. Explained what was safe to burn and what wasn't, calm and no pressure."
