Annual chimney sweeping is one of the most important maintenance tasks that can be performed for your chimney. Chimney cleaning by our trained technicians removes flammable creosote from your flue. Creosote is the #1 cause of chimney fires throughout the Norwalk CT area.

Our chimney sweeps also remove drafting obstructions such as leaves, twigs and falling fruit from nearby trees as well as other debris, such as the nesting material of small animals and the animals themselves – living or dead.
These obstructions can cause chimneys to draft sluggishly and send smoke and carbon monoxide into your living spaces. Carbon monoxide is an invisible and odorless gas that’s potentially fatal to humans and animals when inhaled.
If it’s been more than a year since your last proper chimney inspection, now is a good time to schedule one. We’ll look over your chimney/fireplace system and spot early signs of wear, damage or malfunction so you can get them fixed .
Putting off chimney inspections is like putting off regularly needed service for your automobile: the longer you wait, the greater the chance of serious problems occurring. Avoid problems by having your chimney inspected once a year and following any damaging events such as a chimney fire, lightning strike or major hail storm.
A lot can go wrong with a chimney and its components. Fortunately, the National Chimney Service crew has the years of hands-on experience necessary to resolve every problem

When your chimney or fireplace isn’t working as it should, we’re here to find out why and solve the problem. Common chimney and fireplace problems we address for our Norwalk CT customers include:
- Smoke backing up into the house
- Strong musty odors coming from your firebox, the attic or crawl spaces
- Chimney that leans to one side
- Clicking, tapping or rumbling sounds coming from your fireplace (could be a chimney fire)
- Fires burn incompletely/won’t stay lit

We provide expert cleaning, repair and replacement of chimney liners and furnace flue liners. Cleaning is important for both types of liners, particularly those that vent wood fireplaces as they collect flammable creosote. But furnace liners can accumulate particulate matter that over time will impede drafting and damage the system, so they need regular service.

Damaged liners can sometimes be repaired. When damage is severe, we recommend having a strong new stainless steel flue liner installed.
