The Problem

Creosote doesn't burn off on its own

Every fire you light deposits creosote on the inside of your flue. It starts as a light soot and hardens over seasons into a glazed, tar-like coating that ignites at temperatures a normal fire easily reaches.

Atlanta homeowners tend to use fireplaces in short bursts across a mild winter, which is actually worse — smouldering, low-temperature fires produce more creosote than hot ones.

A sweep removes the deposits and gives you a look at the flue liner, damper and cap while access is open. Most of the problems we find are cheap to fix early and expensive to ignore.

Our Process

How we do it

01

Inspect first

We assess the flue and firebox and tell you what level of buildup you’re dealing with before we start.

02

Seal the opening

The fireplace opening is sealed and put under vacuum so soot has nowhere to go but into our machine.

03

Sweep the flue

Rotary and manual brushes sized to your flue remove creosote from the full length.

04

Clear the firebox and damper

Everything that fell gets vacuumed out, and we check the damper seals and moves properly.

05

Report

Photos and a plain-English summary of the condition of your chimney.

Warning Signs

Signs you need a sweep

Smoke coming into the room

Airflow is restricted somewhere in the flue.

A strong campfire smell

Especially in warm, humid weather when the chimney isn’t in use.

Black, flaky or glazed buildup

Visible creosote in the firebox means more of it above.

Fires are hard to start or won't stay lit

Poor draft, usually from a restriction or a blocked cap.

Animals or nesting sounds

Birds and squirrels regularly nest in uncapped flues.

It's been over a year

Annual inspection is the standard regardless of how much you use it.

What customers say

“Kasey and team from LServices did a fantastic job with my duct cleaning. They explained what their process was and showed me the pictures of before and after. What a big difference it made. They also cleaned up what little there was to clean. I would recommend them and will definitely be using them again next time.”

“I had my ducts cleaned for the first time by LServices. It was an excellent experience watching the guys clean all 33 ducts, taking every vent apart to clean the ducts. I was impressed with the services and would highly recommend this company.”

“Very fast, knowledgeable, and professional. They cleaned a dryer vent and looked into ducts to see if we needed a duct cleaning. They suggested to wait on duct cleaning for a year or two since things looked good currently in the ducts.”

FAQ

Chimney Sweep questions

Annually, before the burning season. If you burn frequently or burn unseasoned wood, more often.
No. We seal the fireplace opening and run the whole job under vacuum, and the hearth area gets covered with drop cloths or plastic sheeting before we start.
Gas units still need the flue inspected for blockages and corrosion, though there’s no creosote. We’ll tell you honestly what a gas unit does and doesn’t need.
We document it with photos and explain what we found. We’ll tell you what’s urgent versus what can wait.
Typically 60 to 90 minutes for a standard single-flue chimney.
Yes. Older masonry chimneys in areas like Grant Park, Decatur and Buckhead are common for us — they need inspection more than newer builds, not less.
