Fast, Reliable Chimney Sweep Across Englewood
If you live in Englewood, you already know this city doesn’t look like the newer suburbs south of it. The brick bungalows and Tudor cottages packed along South Broadway and through Old Englewood were built before anyone worried about flue liners, and that shapes every sweep we do here. A chimney that served a wood fire in 1928 may now vent a gas fireplace or a furnace, and the original brick stack was never built for that. We work on these chimneys routinely, know how tight roof access gets on the narrow blocks near the South Broadway corridor, and understand why a cleaning visit here often turns into a real safety conversation. Call (888) 320-6023 to book a sweep.
Why Englewood Homeowners Call Oasis Chimney Sweep for Chimney Sweep
Englewood homeowners tend to be research-aware. They’ve looked up liner brands, they ask what material is going into their flue, and they want a straight answer about whether their 1920s chimney is safe to use. That’s the conversation we’re built for. We’re a full-service chimney contractor, meaning the sweep, the inspection, and any repair happen with the same team – no handoff to a third party halfway through the problem. Oasis works with professional-grade product lines like HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney, so when a reline or a crown repair is the right call, you’re getting materials a chimney contractor would actually specify, not whatever generic supply is cheapest.
Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience. We answer 24/7, and fast dispatch runs 7am to 7pm. Estimates are free, and the written estimate sets the final price.

Chimney Cleaning in Englewood
Chimney Cleaning in Englewood is rarely a simple brush-and-go, because the housing stock here is dense and old. A typical chimney cleaning runs $185 – $325 and includes a camera inspection and a photo report, so you see the flue condition yourself instead of taking our word for it. On the pre-1950 brick bungalows along the South Broadway corridor and through Old Englewood, the sweep often reveals spalling mortar, cracked clay tiles, or gaps a brush can’t fix. We clean what’s there, then show you what the camera found. When a neighbor’s appliance shares or abuts your flue in a tight lot, that inspection is the only way to confirm what’s venting into your stack. Book by calling (888) 320-6023.
What a Sweep Actually Covers
We remove soot and creosote from the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and flue, then run a camera up the stack. You get photos of anything concerning, and we tell you plainly when work can safely wait. Nothing gets recommended without evidence you can see.
When a Brush Isn’t Enough
Third-degree creosote – the glazed, hardened kind – won’t come off with a standard brush. Neither will a cracked tile or a crown that’s begun to fail after a hard freeze. In those cases we scope the repair and price it in writing before anything starts.
Fireplace Cleaning in Englewood
Fireplace Cleaning in Englewood usually starts with a gas log set or a retrofitted burner that’s been in place for decades without anyone checking the flue behind it. A fireplace cleaning runs $150 – $275 and covers the firebox, glass, grate, and the flue serving the fireplace, with the same photo documentation. Many Old Englewood homes converted from wood to gas long ago, and the original single-wythe chimney was never lined for the change. If your fireplace smells off when it’s cold out, or a neighbor’s furnace exhaust seems to drift down your flue, that’s a shared-stack problem a cleaning alone won’t solve. We diagnose it with the camera first. Call (888) 320-6023 for a free estimate.
Gas Logs and Retrofit Checks
When a gas fireplace has no liner, the exhaust has nowhere safe to go. We check clearances, venting, and the flue itself, and we tell you whether a stainless liner is needed or whether the current setup is sound.
Odors and Downdrafts
The dry, windy Front Range drives downdrafts that push cold air and fireplace odor back into the room. A tight house on a narrow lot makes it worse. We look at the whole stack, not just the firebox.
Trusted Brands We Service in Englewood
When a repair is the right answer, the material matters. Oasis works with a curated roster of recognized industry brands – HeatShield for ceramic liner resurfacing, Gelco and Olympia Chimney for relining and components, and Famco for venting parts. These are the product lines professional chimney contractors rely on, and using them means the repair is built to last rather than patched with whatever’s on hand. We don’t stock parts on a truck; we specify what fits your flue, source it, and install it. Because we handle cleaning, inspection, and repair under one roof, there’s no gap in accountability – the same team that found the problem fixes it. That’s the fast turnaround Englewood homeowners ask for.

AfterCommon Chimney Sweep Problems We See in Englewood Homes
- Shared and adjacent flues in attached properties. Tight lots mean one appliance can vent near or into a neighboring stack. That causes odors and, in the worst case, carbon monoxide risk a simple sweep won’t catch.
- Unlined 1920s brick chimneys. Original single-wythe stacks develop spalling mortar and cracked tiles after freeze-thaw cycles, leaving hidden gaps a brush can’t address.
- Tight roof access in dense Old Englewood blocks. Cramped rooflines tempt a quick sweep to skip a proper Level 2 inspection, missing third-degree creosote glaze or a damaged crown that needs relining.
- Retrofitted gas appliances on unlined flues. Gas fireplaces and furnaces added to old chimneys often vent into a flue never built for them, so cleaning alone won’t restore safe venting.
Pricing for Chimney Sweep in Englewood, CO
Englewood sits at roughly 5,300 feet on the Front Range, where winter freeze-thaw and spring moisture wick into older brick and crack crowns, and that condition drives more repair work here than in newer suburbs. A standard chimney sweep in Englewood typically runs $185 – $325 with a camera inspection and photo report included. Fireplace cleaning runs $150 – $275. When a reline is needed, a stainless liner such as DuraFlex or Olympia is quoted separately based on flue length and shape, and HeatShield ceramic resurfacing is priced per job when it’s the right repair. What moves the number is flue condition, access, and whether the crown or flashing needs work. The estimate is free, and the written estimate sets the final price. Call (888) 320-6023.

FAQs About Chimney Sweep in Englewood
Because older Englewood properties often share or abut flues in tight lots, a neighbor’s appliance can vent into the same stack and push exhaust or odor down your chimney. A simple sweep won’t solve it. This needs a Level 2 inspection to trace where the flues connect and confirm what’s migrating into your home. Call (888) 320-6023 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Falling brick fragments usually point to spalling mortar and a crown that’s cracking from freeze-thaw cycles. At Englewood’s elevation, moisture wicks into older brick, freezes, and breaks the surface apart. It’s a sign the chimney needs inspection and likely crown repair or relining before the next season. Call (888) 320-6023 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
No – an unlined flue serving a gas fireplace is not considered safe, because the exhaust has no proper path out and can migrate into living space or a neighboring flue. Many Old Englewood homes were retrofitted this way decades ago. A stainless liner such as DuraFlex, fit to the flue shape, usually restores safe venting. Call (888) 320-6023 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Once a year is the standard for a gas-burning chimney, same as for wood, because gas appliances still produce moisture and the flue can degrade unseen. In Englewood’s older brick chimneys, an annual inspection is how you catch a cracked tile or failing crown before it becomes a bigger repair. Call (888) 320-6023 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
No – third-degree creosote is the glazed, hardened kind, and a brush won’t take it off. It has to be addressed with the right tools or a liner solution such as HeatShield resurfacing or a reline, depending on the flue. That’s why we inspect with a camera and show you the photos first. Call (888) 320-6023 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
If your Englewood chimney hasn’t been looked at since you moved in, or a hard freeze has left brick on the roof, the next step is a sweep and a real inspection – not a guess. We handle cleaning, inspection, and repair with the same team, so you get one point of contact from diagnosis through completion, and nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see. Call (888) 320-6023 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday; closed Saturday.
