Costs

Chimney Sweeping & Repair cost in Tucson

Typical Tucson range: $150 - $3,900 per job. Reflects Arizona labor and material costs. Estimate for planning, not a quote - call (844) 624-3161 for a written scope.

Intense sun and wide day-night temperature swings are the local stressors - UV degrades finishes and sealants fast, and repeated expansion opens joints.

Creosote is what burns in a chimney fire. Third-degree creosote is glazed and hot enough to crack flue tile, and removing it is the entire point of an annual sweep.

Most chimney leaks are not the brick. They are a failed crown, missing cap or bad step flashing where the stack meets the roof - which is why repointing a chimney that leaks through the crown fixes nothing.

Round wire chimney brush, flexible sweeping rods, a vacuum hose and a bucket on a drop cloth in front of a brick fireplace.

What the job includes

  • Annual sweeping and creosote removal
  • Level 1 and Level 2 inspections
  • Stainless cap and crown repair
  • Flue liner installation
  • Flashing and leak repair
  • Dryer vent cleaning
