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 Bloomingdale, FL
Chimney cleaning in Bloomingdale, FL usually costs between $189 and $329 for a standard sweep, and most homes here need something a little different than a wood-smoke cleanup. Bloomingdale’s chimneys were built during the 1980s – 2000s suburban expansion, and many vent gas appliances or sit mostly unused. That means our work is less about heavy creosote and more about nests, debris, rusted dampers, and corroded flue liners. Call (850) 290-0897 and we’ll give you a straight written price before any work starts.
Why Bloomingdale Homes Are Different
Bloomingdale’s housing stock tells a clear story. Single-family homes built from the 1980s through the early 2000s line neighborhoods like Bloomingdale Trails and the streets off Bloomingdale Avenue. Many of those chimneys are masonry with clay flue liners, and clay liners in this climate crack. The humid subtropical weather means long, wet summers when fireplaces sit idle. Moisture gets into the flue, rusts the damper, and leaves efflorescence blooming across the brick face. We also see a lot of prefabricated chimneys in the newer subdivisions, and those thin-walled metal flues corrode faster in salty, humid air.
One pattern repeats after every heavy summer rain: water staining on the wall or ceiling near the fireplace. Homeowners assume it’s the roof, but in Bloomingdale it’s more often a cracked chimney crown or a missing cap. The damp flue also invites wildlife. Unused chimneys become nesting spots for birds and squirrels, and a nest pressed against a gas vent is a real carbon monoxide risk. None of this is dramatic to fix, but it’s all specific to how Bloomingdale homes were built and how the weather treats them afterward.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Bloomingdale Services
Homeowners in Bloomingdale call us most about two things: a fireplace that hasn’t been cleaned in years and a fireplace that won’t work at all. Both start with a close look at the flue, and each service below has its own detailed page.
Chimney Sweep in Bloomingdale
A sweep in Bloomingdale usually means clearing out nests, leaves, and the gray acidic soot that builds up inside gas-vented flues as well as wood-burning ones. We run brushes sized to your flue, collect everything in a sealed vacuum, and leave shoe covers and drop cloths down the whole time. Before we start, you’ll know exactly what we’re going to do and what it costs, because the written price comes first. Danny Cortes and the crew track every job against a photo report so you can see what came out. Chimney Sweep in Bloomingdale
Chimney Inspection in Bloomingdale
Bloomingdale’s humid summers are hard on flue liners and mortar joints, which is why a camera inspection matters here even if the fireplace rarely gets used. We look for cracked clay tiles, rusted metal flues in prefab chimneys, and water entry points around the crown and cap. The camera feed shows you exactly what we see, so nothing gets recommended without evidence in front of you. If the chimney is fine, we’ll tell you it’s fine and say when to check again.

What Bloomingdale Customers Say
"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."
- Marcus Halvorsen"Clean, calm, and thorough. He laid cloths from the front door to the fireplace so nothing got tracked in. Showed me before and after and explained the small repair he'd recommend, no pressure."
