Chimney Cleaning Before & After in Miami, FL

Anyone can claim their chimney work is thorough. Seeing it is different. Below are the kinds of transformations our techs document after every job. We photograph the flue before we touch it and after we finish, so you’re never taking our word for it. The camera sees what the naked eye misses, and we show you every frame.

Recent Transformations

Stage 3 Creosote Removal in Coral Gables

BeforeAfter

The homeowner burned unseasoned oak for two winters. What we found was stage 3 creosote, which hardens into a tar glaze that brushes skip right over. We ran a rotary chain whip and chemical treatment before a full sweep. The after photo shows the original clay tile color for the first time in years.

Bird Nest and Debris Blockage in Kendall

BeforeAfter

A Kendall family called because smoke backed into the living room every time they lit a fire. The culprit was a grackle nest packed tight about six feet down from the crown. We removed the nest, swept the full length, and found the damper was warped from the heat buildup. Simple fix, done same day.

Chimney Fire Damage Assessment in Hialeah

BeforeAfter

A small chimney fire can do damage you won’t feel until months later. This Hialeah home had hairline cracks running through three flue tiles. We documented everything with the camera, walked the homeowner through the photos, and repaired the liner with HeatShield rather than suggesting a full teardown. Written guarantee included, as always.

Heavy Soot and Smoke Staining in Coconut Grove

The smoke chamber gets ignored by a lot of sweep companies. Not us. This Coconut Grove fireplace had a half-inch of fluffy soot in the chamber and a smoke shelf that hadn’t been touched since the house was built in the 90s. We brushed both and vacuumed everything out. The homeowner told us the room smelled different within an hour.

Neglected Rental Property Flue in Little Havana

Tenants changed, maintenance slipped, and the chimney went unswept for close to a decade. We found the damper plate had fallen off its hinge and was resting sideways in the throat. Removed it, cleaned the entire system top to bottom, and reattached the damper. The landlord got a photo report for his records before we left the driveway.

Smoky Fireplace and Draft Problems in Doral

The Doral homeowner dealt with a smoky fireplace for two winters, convinced it was just how the house was built. The real issue was a flue that had narrowed to about forty percent of its original diameter from neglect. Cleaned it out and replaced a cap that was never meant for a Florida climate. Draft problem solved.

What You’ll See in Every After Photo

We document because we want you to know exactly what changed and why it matters. Every after photo we take covers the same checks: flue walls free of creosote, smoke chamber clear, damper operating, and the crown intact. If something doesn’t look right, we show you that too. That’s the Kingswell Way. Say the price, show up in the window, leave it cleaner, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails.
