OUR STORY

Started because South Florida chimneys were being treated like Northeast chimneys

Chimney sweeping as an industry grew up in cold-weather cities, where fireplaces run every night from November through March and creosote build-up is the main danger. Miami is a different animal. Our fireplaces might be lit a handful of nights a year, if that — but our flues sit closed for months at a time in near-constant humidity, our roofs take a beating every hurricane season, and our dryer vents run almost daily to keep up with the damp.

EverClean Chimney was founded to close that gap. We combine the same certified sweeping and inspection standards used nationwide with a working knowledge of what actually goes wrong with a South Florida chimney: rusted-out dampers, cracked crowns from tropical downpours, birds and rodents nesting in a flue that hasn't drawn air in a year, and lint-packed dryer vents fighting a losing battle against the humidity. We built our training, our equipment, and our inspection checklists around those specific problems.

OUR MISSION

Honest inspections, clear pricing, and technicians who explain what they find

Chimney work is one of those services where it's easy for a homeowner to feel like they just have to trust whoever shows up. We built EverClean around removing that discomfort: every job starts with a plain-language inspection, every recommendation comes with a photo and an explanation, and we never start repair work you haven't approved. If a chimney just needs a sweep and nothing else, that's exactly what we'll tell you.

Our goal isn't to be the biggest chimney company in Florida. It's to be the one your neighbors recommend by name, because the last three times they called, we did exactly what we said we would.

Chimney Sweeping & Creosote Removal

Even chimneys that see light use build up creosote, soot, and airborne debris that settles inside the flue. Left alone, creosote hardens into a glazed layer that's both a fire hazard and a pain to remove later. Our sweeps clear it before it gets to that point, using rotary loop or drop-chain tools sized to your flue's exact shape — never a generic brush that can scratch a clay tile liner.

Every sweep is performed under HEPA containment: we seal the fireplace opening and run a filtered vacuum system that captures fine particulates at the source, so your furniture, floors, and lungs stay clean. When we're done, we'll show you the before-and-after with photos.

• Removes creosote, soot, and fire byproducts from the full flue length
• HEPA-filtered vacuum containment protects your home during the sweep
• Includes a firebox and smoke chamber clean-out
• Recommended annually for regularly used fireplaces, every 1–2 years for occasional use

SIGNS YOU'RE OVERDUE

How to tell your chimney needs sweeping

• A strong campfire smell even when the fireplace isn't in use
• Visible black flakes or soot around the firebox opening
• Smoke backing up into the room instead of drawing up the flue
• It's simply been more than a year since the last inspection

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Clogged dryer vents are one of the most common — and most preventable — causes of residential fires, and Miami's humidity makes lint clump and stick inside the duct faster than in drier climates. A blocked vent also forces your dryer to run longer per load, driving up your electric bill and shortening the appliance's lifespan.

We clear the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior exhaust point using commercial-grade brushes and vacuum equipment sized for both standard single-family runs and the longer duct paths common in Miami condos and townhomes.

• Full lint and debris removal from dryer to exterior vent cap
• Airflow test before and after so you can see the improvement
• Exterior vent cap and hood inspection for damage or blockage
• Recommended every 12 months, or every 6–8 months for larger households and rentals

SIGNS YOU'RE OVERDUE

How to tell your dryer vent needs cleaning

• Clothes take more than one cycle to fully dry
• The outside of the dryer feels hot to the touch during use
• A burning smell during drying cycles
• Visible lint buildup around the exterior vent hood

Animal & Debris Removal

An uncapped or damaged chimney looks like a ready-made nesting spot to birds, raccoons, rats, and even the occasional iguana in South Florida. We remove animals and nests humanely, clear resulting debris and blockages, and install a properly fitted cap so the problem doesn't come back next season.

• Humane animal and nest removal from flues and chimney chases
• Full debris clearing after removal
• Cap installation sized to prevent re-entry
