Leif Chimney Sweep Company

Leif Chimney Sweep Company is dedicated to promoting clean, safe, and properly maintained chimney systems through professional chimney sweeping, cleaning, and preventative maintenance services. A chimney plays a vital role in a home's fireplace system by providing a passage for smoke, combustion gases, and other byproducts to exit the living space. However, regular fireplace use and exposure to outdoor conditions can cause soot, creosote, ash, leaves, and other debris to accumulate inside the chimney over time. When these materials are not removed appropriately, they may interfere with ventilation, affect fireplace performance, and increase the risk of chimney fires. Routine chimney cleaning is therefore an important part of maintaining a functional fireplace and protecting the overall condition of a property. At Leif Chimney Sweep Company, we recognize that every chimney has unique maintenance requirements depending on its age, construction, fuel type, and frequency of use.

Masonry Tuckpointing and Crowns

Rotary brush sweeps clear glazed creosote and stubborn soot deposits while negative-air HEPA exhaust ensures clean interior hearth containment.

Precision mortar repointing, custom stainless steel cap installation, and concrete crown rebuilding halt water infiltration and brick spalling.

Client reviews from neighbors

They sealed our living room with heavy tarps and ran continuous HEPA filtration. Our 1920s brick chimney drafts perfectly without a trace of ash indoors.

The camera inspection revealed cracked clay tiles our previous contractor missed. Leif relined the flue and rebuilt the crown before winter set in.
