Family-Owned & Local

A local Florida team that treats your home like our own and stands behind the work.

Homeowners in Lauderdale Lakes are used to warm, humid weather most of the year, and that changes what a chimney sweep needs to focus on compared to colder-climate states. This is an inland Broward County community close to Fort Lauderdale, with a mix of older single-family homes and low-rise condos built from the 1960s through the 1980s, many with fireplaces installed for the occasional cool winter evening. A proper sweep clears soot, debris, and buildup that can accumulate even in a chimney that only sees light seasonal use.

What Our Chimney Sweep & Cleaning Service Includes

Full Flue Sweep

Quick Visual Check

While we're up there we flag any obvious issues so nothing gets missed.

Why Lauderdale Lakes Homes Need Chimney Sweep & Cleaning

Because fireplaces here sit idle for long stretches during the hot, humid months, moisture and organic growth can build up inside the flue faster than in a chimney used weekly. South Florida's heavy rains and high humidity also invite nesting birds, palmetto bugs, and other debris to settle in an unused flue, and that buildup can block airflow or trap odors. A cleaning before the first cool snap of the season helps make sure the chimney is actually ready to be used safely.

Our process starts with a visual look at the firebox and flue, followed by brushing to remove soot and loose debris, and a check for blockages like nests or leaves. We vacuum as we go to keep the work area clean and inspect the damper and smoke chamber while we're in there, since a sweep is also a good time to catch small problems early. We walk you through anything we find before we finish, so there are no surprises.

We're a family-owned business, and we treat every Lauderdale Lakes home like it's the only job we have that day. We give honest written estimates before any work starts, and many calls can be scheduled for same-day service. If your fireplace has been sitting unused and you want it cleaned and checked before you light it, give us a call and we'll get you on the schedule.

Signs You Need Chimney Sweep & Cleaning

  • Smoke backing up into the room when you light a fire
  • A strong, smoky or campfire-like smell from the fireplace, especially in humid weather
  • Black, tar-like creosote you can see built up inside the flue
  • It's been a year or more — or you've never had it swept since moving in

Chimney Sweep & Cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes — Common Questions

How often should a chimney be swept?

As a general rule, a wood-burning chimney should be swept about once a year, or sooner if you burn often or notice smoke, smell, or buildup. If you've just bought the home and don't know its history, it's worth having it swept and looked at once.

Is chimney sweeping messy?

Not the way we do it. We lay down drop cloths and use tools that contain the soot, so the buildup ends up in the fireplace and our bags — not on your floors or furniture.

Do I need a sweep if I rarely use my fireplace?

Often, yes. Even a rarely-used flue collects debris, moisture, and sometimes animal nests over time. A quick sweep makes sure it's clear and safe before you light that first fire.

Do you serve Lauderdale Lakes and the surrounding area?

Yes — Chimney Brothers Co is a local, family-owned team serving Lauderdale Lakes and the rest of Broward County. Call (645) 224-9996 and we'll confirm we cover your ZIP and set a time that works.

At what point does a chimney actually need to be swept?

CSIA recommends sweeping an open masonry fireplace when 1/8 inch of sooty buildup has developed, and sooner if any glaze is present in the system. One eighth of an inch is considered enough deposit to fuel a damaging chimney fire, and glazed creosote is highly flammable and should be addressed without waiting. The threshold is different for factory-built fireplaces, which CSIA says should be swept when any appreciable buildup occurs, because the deposits are acidic and attack prefabricated components. Sweeping is driven by measured buildup, not by a fixed number of cords burned. Source: Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), Homeowner Resources

Do the chimney reinforcing and anchor-strap rules in the residential code apply in Florida?

Not by default. The prescriptive chimney reinforcement and anchorage provisions in Florida Building Code, Residential sections R1003.3 and R1003.4 (the vertical bars, the ties, and the two 3/16-inch by 1-inch anchor straps at each floor, ceiling or roof line more than 6 feet above grade) are triggered by Seismic Design Categories D0, D1 and D2, which are high-seismicity classifications. Florida chimneys are instead governed by the wind provisions, and the 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code, effective December 31, 2023, references ASCE 7-22 for wind loads. Practically, that means a Florida chimney's structural demand is lateral wind pressure on a tall masonry cantilever, not ground shaking.

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Lauderdale Lakes?

Most Florida homeowners pay $150–$250 for a standard chimney sweep and Level 1 inspection, though the range widens with fireplace type, creosote level, and chimney height. What a specific Lauderdale Lakes job costs comes down to chimney height, roof access and pitch, and the condition of the crown and flashing, so we give a free on-site estimate with upfront pricing before any work begins.
