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 Broomfield Homeowners Call Chimney Sweep Thornton for Chimney Sweep
Broomfield is a city that gets worked on by weather. Sitting in the Wind Corridor along the Front Range north of Denver, it takes downslope gusts that routinely run 60-100+ mph through the heating season, and that changes what a chimney visit actually looks like here. A cap that loosened in a January gust doesn’t fix itself when the wind drops.
Our technicians know that pattern. They’ve worked homes across Broomfield and the surrounding corridor long enough to read the local failure signs before they climb: a cap sitting crooked, a spark arrestor bent flat, a flue full of grit and debris that blew in from outside. That local knowledge is why a Broomfield call so often gets sorted on the inspection report rather than the brush.
We come out prepared to repair what we find. Chimney repair lives alongside cleaning in our scope, so a damaged cap or a cracked crown doesn’t mean a second contractor and a second visit. That’s the reputation we want in Broomfield: the call that answers the actual problem, not just the soot.

Chimney Services in Broomfield
Chimney Services in Broomfield start with a real look at what your flue and its fittings are telling us. A standard sweep covers the firebox, smoke chamber, flue, and damper, followed by a visual assessment of the cap, crown, and flashing. Most Broomfield homes run $180-$340 for a standard sweep with a Level 1 inspection, and $220-$420 when a Level 2 camera inspection is needed.
Annual Sweep and Creosote Removal
A high-desert climate with cold, windy winters and strong short-cycle temperature swings means heavy burn periods followed by dry summers. Creosote and soot build fast here. We brush off first-degree soot and flag the glazed deposits a brush can’t touch, so you know exactly what’s in the flue.

Soot Removal and Fireplace Cleaning
Soot removal goes beyond the flue. We clean the firebox, glass, and surrounding masonry so the fireplace reads clean and the next fire draws properly, and we photograph what we find before we leave.

Chimney Sweep Certified in Broomfield
Chimney Sweep Certified in Broomfield means the technician climbing onto your roof has the training and material knowledge to assess a factory-built metal flue as confidently as a masonry chimney. That distinction matters here. Broomfield is dominated by 1990s-2010s build-out, so most homes have pre-fab metal flues and gas insert conversions, and those need different cleaning and inspection routines than older masonry. A Level 1 inspection runs typically $120-$200 as a standalone, and a Level 2 camera inspection with a full photo report usually lands $220-$380.
Level 1 and Level 2 Inspections
A Level 1 is the visual read of readily accessible parts of the chimney. A Level 2 adds a camera run through the flue, and it’s the right call after a wind event, a cap strike, or a change in how the fireplace behaves.
Camera Inspection and Photo Report
We run a camera through the flue and photograph the cap, crown, and flashing. You see what we see, and nothing gets recommended without evidence in hand.
Trusted Brands We Service in Broomfield
When repair work comes up, the material matters. We install DuraFlex liner systems for relining jobs and use HeatShield for chimney resurfacing, both specified for your flue rather than whatever’s cheapest to source. Copperfield and Gelco round out the lineup on cap and component work. These are the materials chimney specialists across the country rely on, and they’re the materials we use in Broomfield. We don’t stock parts on a truck or carry local inventory, but the brands we work with are widely available, so a repair found during a sweep can usually be scheduled and completed without a long wait on materials.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Broomfield Homes
- Wind-damaged chimney caps. Spring and winter gusts in the corridor dent, loosen, or tear off lightweight stock caps – often in newer subdivisions where builders used caps that never anticipated 60-100+ mph wind. A missing or bent cap lets debris and birds into the flue.
- Downdraft and backdraft complaints. When the fireplace puffs smoke into the room on a windy day, the cause is usually airflow at the cap and flue, not just a dirty flue. A visual inspection plus a camera run tells us which.
- Glazed creosote from long heating seasons. Heavy winter burn followed by dry summers builds creosote fast. Third-degree glaze needs a different removal approach than a standard brush, and we flag it in the report.
- Factory-built flue issues in 1990s-2010s homes. Pre-fab metal flues and gas insert conversions behave differently than masonry. The technician confirms what’s actually venting before any cleaning begins.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Broomfield
Usually not. Backdraft and downdraft complaints in Broomfield are most often tied to wind pressure at the cap or flue opening, not built-up soot. A visual inspection and a camera check will tell us whether the cap is damaged, the flue is obstructed, or the draft is being overwhelmed by gusts. Call (866) 361-5660 to book an inspection.
Once a year if you burn wood regularly through the heating season, and every couple of years if you burn only occasionally. The long windy winters here mean creosote accumulates faster than in calmer suburbs, so an annual visual check is worth it even when you think the flue is clean. Call (866) 361-5660 for an honest read.
Sometimes, yes. If the flue was inspected recently and you’ve burned only a few fires, a camera check may confirm it can safely wait a season. We’ll tell you plainly when there’s no urgency – and when there is. Call (866) 361-5660 to talk it through.
A flat price should cover the firebox, smoke chamber, flue, and damper, plus a visual assessment of the cap, crown, and flashing, and a photo report. We confirm whether your home has a factory-built metal flue or masonry before quoting, so the price is accurate. Call (866) 361-5660 for a free estimate.
No. An open flue invites debris, birds, and rain straight down into the chimney, and it can worsen draft and backdraft problems. Cap repair or replacement runs $150-$450 and is worth doing promptly. Call (866) 361-5660 and we’ll schedule it.
If your fireplace has been acting up or you just can’t remember the last time the flue was checked, give us a call. We’ll book a flat-price sweep or inspection, run a camera through your flue, and hand you a photo report showing exactly what’s in there – nothing recommended without evidence, and a straight answer on when work can safely wait. Call (866) 361-5660 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7, with fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
