The importance of a clean chimney.

Cleaning creosote out of your chimney is crucial for safety. Creosote buildup is highly flammable and can lead to chimney fires. Regular cleaning by professionals reduces that risk and keeps your fireplace working safely and efficiently.

Every cleaning starts with protecting your home, then removing soot, creosote and debris from the firebox, smoke chamber and flue. A visual inspection is included, so you'll know if the damper, crown, cap or liner needs attention.

Chimney caps

A cap keeps the weather and wildlife out.

Our chimney caps stand up to heavy rain and high winds and keep animals out of your chimney, where they can cause blockages and hazards. A properly fitted cap is also the best way to keep birds from nesting in the flue.

Top-sealing dampers

Stop paying to heat and cool the sky.

Until the 1960s, most fireplaces were built without a throat damper to seal off the chimney. A top-sealing damper is a simple, cost-effective way to seal the chimney and stop those dollars from leaving your home. It's also a great replacement for warped, rusted and leaky throat dampers.

Our top-sealing dampers are 304 stainless steel, with a stainless aircraft cable that runs inside the flue from the cap down to an easy-to-reach handle in the firebox. We'll help you pick the right model and make sure it fits, with or without the bird guard and spark screen.

Humane bird removal

Bird stuck in your chimney?

Pigeons and other birds go for the highest perch around, and on most houses that's the chimney. Without protection, birds and other wildlife climb in and get stuck. Once they're down, they can't fly out, and most flues are too slick and steep to climb.

We use humane methods to get every bird out safely, check for nesting damage, clean out debris and seal the entry point so it doesn't happen again.

Bird spikes

Are birds taking over your chimney?

Bird spikes are the most effective, permanent protection against birds landing, nesting and roosting where they aren't wanted. We install them along the chimney top and on small nooks and ledges, which stops the mess and health problems that come with them.

Chimney crown repairs

Does your chimney have a water leak?

The crown covers and seals the top of the chimney, from the flue liner to the edge. Most masonry chimneys are built with a crown made from common mortar mix, which cracks, chips and breaks down under years of Arizona weather. Water then gets in and erodes the bricks and mortar below.

We coat the crown with a flexible, elastomeric waterproof sealant that forms a seamless, textured layer and protects it for years. If the crown only has small cracks and holes, we fill and seal just those spots.

Chimney chase covers

Is your chimney letting water in?

A chase cover takes water protection to the next level and solves leaking or rusting chimney problems. It's a metal top that covers the entire chimney shaft, with a drip edge that extends past the sides. Paired with a proper cap, it sheds water away from the chimney.

Chase covers keep moisture, animals, leaves and debris out of the chimney chase. Once deterioration starts, it can lead to rotting wood framing, mold, a rusted firebox and damaged drywall inside your home.

FAQ

Chimney questions, answered.

Still have questions? Talk with Becky or one of our owners.(602) 439-3218
How often should I have my chimney cleaned?

At least once a year, especially if you use your fireplace often during the Phoenix winter. An annual cleaning also catches nests, water intrusion and weather damage early.

What are the signs that my chimney needs cleaning?

Trouble starting a fire, a smoky smell, or visible soot and creosote buildup. If you notice any of these, it's time to schedule a professional cleaning.

Can I clean my chimney myself?

DIY cleaning is possible, but it isn't recommended because of the safety risks and the chance of an incomplete job. For a thorough, safe cleaning in Phoenix, hire a professional.

Are there any special considerations for chimneys in Phoenix?

The dry climate can mean less frequent cleaning, but creosote buildup and proper ventilation still need attention. Regular inspections keep your chimney safe and working.

What should I expect during a chimney cleaning?

A technician cleans the inside of the chimney, removes debris and checks for structural issues, so your chimney works safely and efficiently.

How can I tell if birds have built a nest in my chimney?

Look for poor draft, chirping or scratching sounds, nesting material or feathers around the cap, extra soot buildup, and droppings near the chimney base. If you suspect a nest, call a professional, since improper removal can damage the chimney or harm protected birds.

Can I remove birds from my chimney myself?

We recommend calling a professional. We have the tools to remove birds and nests safely without damaging the chimney, and we seal entry points and check for hidden damage like weakened mortar or a blocked flue.

How do I keep birds out of my chimney?

A durable, properly fitted chimney cap is the best guarantee. It blocks entry while letting smoke and gases vent safely. Bird spikes add another layer by stopping birds from perching on the chimney top.

Why should I call Arizona Chimney & Air Ducts for a bird in my chimney?

We use humane methods so every bird can fly away unharmed, then clean out debris, check for nesting damage and install a cap to keep them from coming back.

Call the one that soot's ya best.
