Why regular sweeping matters
Every fire leaves behind soot and creosote. Over time, that buildup can narrow the flue, restrict draft and become a fire hazard. Regular cleaning helps your fireplace or stove draw properly, helps smoke leave the house the way it should, and supports a safer home.
How a NestKeep sweep works
- Protect: we set up drop cloths and vacuum containment around the hearth.
- Sweep: we brush the flue and clean the firebox, smoke chamber and accessible components.
- Look: we check what we can see for fire-safety and airflow concerns.
- Explain: we tell you what we found, in plain language, before recommending anything else.
Inspections focused on fire safety and airflow
Our inspections are thorough and practical: we look for buildup, blockages, damage and anything that may affect safe operation or draft, and share what we see so you can make informed decisions.
