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 Kindling Chimney Orlando Is Orlando’s Preferred Chimney Sweep Company
Orlando homeowners call us because we work to a written care promise on every visit. That means a written price lands in your hand before any tool comes off the truck, the C.A.R.E. values govern how our crew treats your floors and furniture, and a photo of the clean-up is taken before we leave. Danny Cortes leads our Orlando team, and he’s built the crew around one idea: families with kids and pets should never wonder what the bill will be or what the technician will do inside the home.
Our reputation in Orlando rests on the Chimney Sweep work we do in neighborhoods like Colonialtown North, Audubon Park, and Baldwin Park, where older masonry chimneys and 1990s pre-fabricated systems sit side by side. Local homeowners tell us the same thing: they want honesty about what the chimney actually needs, not a pitch for work they can’t verify. That’s why we run a camera inspection and show you the footage before we recommend anything beyond a standard sweep.
Every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. No fine print, no runaround. And when you call, a live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail trees, no callbacks that come days later.

Chimney Maintenance in Orlando
Chimney maintenance in Orlando is less about heavy seasonal use and more about moisture, wildlife, and neglect. Homeowners here light fires only a handful of times each year, usually for ambiance between November and February. That infrequent use means creosote accumulates slowly but surely, while humidity and daily summer downpours work on the masonry from the outside. A typical maintenance visit in Orlando runs $189 – $329 and includes a full sweep, a Level 1 inspection, and a written summary of what we found.
Annual sweep and inspection
Most Orlando homes do best with an annual sweep even when the fireplace gets used only twice a year. The reason is local: our subtropical climate invites anole lizards and Cuban tree frogs into unused flues, and their nests obstruct airflow just as effectively as creosote. We remove pests as part of every routine cleaning, then check the damper, crown, and flashing for rust and hairline cracks.
Creosote and soot removal
Even light use builds creosote inside the flue. In Orlando’s humidity, creosote absorbs moisture and degrades faster than it would in a dry climate, which can leave a sticky, stubborn glaze on the flue walls. We remove soot and creosote with professional brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums, and we always show you the before and after.
Chimney Sweep Services in Orlando
Chimney sweep services in Orlando cover everything from a straightforward fireplace cleaning to camera inspections that reveal what’s really happening inside the flue. Because so many Orlando homes have older, unlined masonry chimneys or 1970s – 1990s pre-fabricated systems, we approach every job with the same first step: a camera inspection so you can see the condition of the flue before any repair talk begins. Standard sweeps run $189 – $329 in the Orlando market.
Fireplace cleaning with camera inspection
We clean the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, and flue, then run a camera up the stack. You see the footage. We walk you through what it means. If we find third-degree creosote glaze or spalled mortar, we show you the image and explain your options, including whether the work can safely wait.
Level 1 and Level 2 inspections
A Level 1 inspection happens during every sweep and covers the accessible portions of the chimney. A Level 2 inspection goes further, using the camera to assess the entire flue interior. Orlando homeowners buying or selling a home often need a Level 2 before closing, especially in neighborhoods like College Park or Thornton Park where older chimneys have changed hands several times.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Orlando Homes
- Wildlife in the flue. Orlando’s warm months bring anole lizards and Cuban tree frogs into unused chimneys. They nest in the smoke chamber and flue, block airflow, and leave behind debris that accelerates creosote buildup. We remove them as a standard part of every sweep.
- Efflorescence on exterior brick. That white, chalky residue on outside bricks is a sign moisture is moving through the masonry. Frequent afternoon thunderstorms and high humidity push water into hairline cracks, and the minerals left behind are what you see. We check the crown and flashing for the source.
- Rusted dampers and fireboxes. Humid air attacks metal components even when the fireplace sits unused. A seized damper or rusted firebox is common in Orlando homes built in the 1970s through 1990s, especially in concrete block ranch houses across Conway and Pine Hills.
- Third-degree creosote glaze. Infrequent use plus humidity can produce a hard, shiny creosote deposit that standard brushes can’t fully remove. We identify it with a camera and explain what removal options exist, including whether the flue needs mechanical cleaning or resurfacing.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Orlando
Once a year is right for almost every Orlando home, even with light use. Our humidity means creosote absorbs moisture faster, and unused fireplaces attract anole lizards and Cuban tree frogs that nest in the flue. An annual sweep clears the debris and lets a camera catch small issues before they become expensive ones. Call (850) 940-3442 to schedule an annual sweep at a time that works for your family.
That chalky residue is efflorescence, and it means water is moving through your masonry. Orlando’s daily summer thunderstorms soak the brick, and when the water evaporates, it leaves mineral deposits behind. The cause is usually a hairline crack in the crown or flashing. We find and show you the source with a camera inspection, then explain what repair is actually needed and what can wait.
Yes, we remove Cuban tree frogs and anole lizards as part of every Orlando chimney sweep. They’re an invasive species here and they love the warm, dark, protected space inside an unused flue. We remove them humanely and safely, then clean out the nesting debris. If you’ve had repeated returns, ask us about a properly fitted chimney cap, which keeps them out for good. Call (850) 940-3442 for details.
Yes, it is different. Pre-fabricated fireplaces and their metal chimneys use different brushes and techniques than masonry flues, and not every chimney company in Orlando stocks the right tools. We carry compatible equipment and parts for 1990s-era pre-fabricated systems, which are common in newer suburban developments across Orlando. The cleaning is gentler on the metal, and we always check for the specific failure modes those units develop.
Third-degree creosote looks like a hard, shiny black or dark brown glaze coating the flue walls. It forms when creosote bakes on and absorbs moisture from Orlando’s humid air, turning into a tar-like deposit that standard brushes can’t fully remove. We can remove it with mechanical cleaning tools, and in some cases we recommend HeatShield resurfacing to restore the flue’s smooth surface. We show you the camera footage first so you see exactly what we’re dealing with. Call (850) 940-3442 for an exact quote.
If your Orlando fireplace hasn’t been inspected in the last year, call (850) 940-3442 today. A live person answers, the estimate is free, and the price you get in writing is the price you pay. We’ll show you the camera footage, remove any wildlife, and leave your floors as clean as we found them, with a photo to prove it.
