Canadian Chimney - Chimney Sweep Services
Wood burning appliances, and chimneys are best serviced by a qualified person. We recommend contacting Canadian Chimney for chimney sweeping, chimney inspections, WETT inspections, or any repairs or maintenance to a solid fuel burning appliance, and system.
Routine chimney maintenance goes a long way in preventing damage to your chimney and fireplace. Creosote is a natural by-product of burning a fire, and it can build up in your chimney or stovepipe. Regular chimney cleaning can help prevent this harmful substance from building up, which is the leading cause of chimney fires. Having your chimney cleaned and inspected is the best way to prevent a chimney fire, or further damage to your home.
We provide chimney cleaning, inspections and repairs on all varieties of fireplaces, inserts and wood burning stoves.
Prices for the first chimney sweep service depend on your location. Service discounts are provided to clients with multiple wood burning appliances. We also service wood-stoves, wood fireplace inserts, gas fireplaces, and gas fireplace inserts. For specific pricing in rural areas, or areas not listed above, please give us a call, or have a look at our service areas pages for prices.
It is also a great idea to have your dryer vent cleaned, as dryer vent lint fires account for a large portion of house fires. We offer this service for only $99 when combined with another chimney service $150 when rendered on it's own.
We also specialize in chimney and fireplace repairs. Call us today to schedule an appointment so that your fireplace or solid fuel burning appliance is evaluated prior to use.

Chimney Sweep
We will sweep your fireplace and chimney using the most advanced techniques and equipment. Our high revolution, rotary chimney cleaning tool does a far superior job than the old standard chimney brushes at removing stage 1 creosote buildup inside your flue. A chimney should be cleaned when there is 3 mm (1\8") of creosote buildup. We strongly suggest that you have your wood burning unit inspected along with a clean.
We use a high powered vacuum, ground mats and a delicate technique to ensure there is no mess left behind.
