How Our Chimney Sweep Service Works
From your first call to a clean, safe chimney our process is simple and stress-free. Schedule today and let our CSIA-certified technicians handle the rest.
Book Your Pasadena Inspection Online
Pick a time that works for your schedule. If you're prepping for a home sale, let us know so we can plan for a Level 2 inspection with camera scan, which is what Pasadena escrow officers and buyers' agents expect.
Get Your Tech's Credentials Upfront
Before we arrive, you'll receive a confirmation email with your CSIA-certified technician's name, photo, and certification number. You'll know exactly who's showing up at your door, which matters when your family is home.
Inspect the Full Chimney System
Your technician inspects the firebox, flue liner, damper, crown, and cap. Pasadena's Craftsman and mid-century homes often have original clay tile liners with hairline cracks from decades of seismic activity, and we document every one of them.
Sweep and Remove All Creosote
We remove creosote deposits down to bare liner using rotary tools matched to your flue size. Even if you only burn a fire 15 or 20 times a season, second-degree buildup is common in Pasadena homes where the chimney hasn't been cleaned in two or more years.
Receive a Photo Report Same Day
Within hours of your appointment, you get a detailed report with timestamped photos of every finding, repair recommendation, and a pass/fail summary. If you're selling your home, this report is formatted to attach directly to your disclosure packet.

Verified reviews from local homeowners we've served across Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley.
“Prompt, professional, and thorough. They walked me through every issue they found and gave clear cost estimates before starting any work. My fireplace feels completely different now.”
“Fantastic service from start to finish. The technician arrived on time, laid down drop cloths, and left the room cleaner than when he arrived. Highly recommend.”
“Called in the morning, had someone out by afternoon. They found a cracked liner we didn't know about and repaired it same week. That kind of responsiveness is rare.”
“Very knowledgeable team. They explained what they were inspecting and why in plain language. No pressure, no upselling. Will absolutely use again next season.”
“We've tried three chimney companies over the years. This is the only one we'll call going forward. Honest assessments, fair prices, and they stand behind their work.”
“I called for a simple sweep and they noticed the damper was warped. They had a replacement with them and fixed it right then. Saved me from a bigger problem down the road.”

Detailed Fireplace Care Backed By Clear Communication
Sootly Chimney Sweep has been serving Pasadena homeowners with professional chimney and fireplace services. Our team of certified technicians is dedicated to keeping your home safe and your fireplace functioning efficiently.
We walk homeowners through the condition of the flue, firebox, cap, crown, and visible masonry so the next step is easy to understand.
We keep things focused on home safety, clean job sites, and repair advice that matches how you actually use your fireplace.
Inspection-Ready Reports
Every Sootly inspection follows NFPA 211 standards, including Level 2 camera scans required for Pasadena home sales. Your report is formatted for escrow, so it won't slow down closing.
Built for Craftsman Chimneys
Pasadena's 1910s-1940s Craftsman homes have brick flues and clay tile liners that crack under earthquake stress and age differently than modern systems. We inspect for the specific damage patterns these older chimneys develop, not just surface-level issues.
Family Safety First
Carbon monoxide from a cracked flue liner won't set off your smoke alarm. We check every chimney for hidden CO leak paths and creosote buildup so your family stays safe during those 20 or 30 cold Foothills evenings when you actually light a fire.
Straight Answers, Fixed Pricing
We quote the job before we start, and our CSIA-certified techs explain exactly what they find with photos. If your Hastings Ranch chimney only needs a basic sweep, we won't upsell you a liner replacement.
