Professional Chimney Sweep, Inspection & Fireplace Services in Phoenix, AZ

Creosote is a highly flammable, tar-like byproduct of incomplete wood combustion that condenses along the internal walls of your chimney flue. When allowed to accumulate, creosote can ignite and cause a dangerous chimney fire reaching temperatures over 2,000°F, potentially cracking flue tiles and igniting the surrounding wood structure of your home.

We provide 24/7 chimney sweep, inspection, and repair services across all of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, and surrounding Maricopa County communities.

No. At Solitaire Tail Chimney, we use a zero-mess triple-HEPA vacuum containment system. We place protective runner mats and heavy canvas drop cloths across your flooring, seal the fireplace opening, and maintain continuous negative air pressure during the entire rotary sweeping process so no dust, soot, or odors escape into your home.

A Level 1 inspection is a standard visual evaluation of readily accessible portions of the chimney, firebox, and damper, suitable for annual checkups with an unchanged appliance. A Level 2 inspection includes all of Level 1 plus an in-depth video camera scan of the entire internal flue interior, required during real estate property transfers, after a chimney fire or storm, or when changing fuel/appliance types.

A chimney cap is essential in Phoenix to protect against severe desert monsoons, windblown dust, and animal intrusions such as roof rats, birds, and wasps seeking shelter in your flue. It also features a heavy-duty spark arrestor screen to prevent escaping sparks from igniting dry desert vegetation or roof materials.

Smoke backdrafting can be caused by a closed or stuck damper, heavy creosote or animal nest obstructions in the flue, negative air pressure caused by powerful HVAC systems or exhaust fans, a cold flue air column, or an improperly sized chimney flue relative to the firebox opening. Our technicians diagnose and resolve draft imbalances with specialized airflow testing.

Yes. In addition to sweeping, we specialize in complete chimney masonry restoration. This includes precision tuckpointing to replace crumbling mortar, custom concrete crown pouring with drip edges, spalled brick replacement, smoke chamber parging, and breathable siloxane waterproofing.

If our video inspection discovers cracked, missing, or spalling clay flue tiles, gaps in mortar joints, or if you are converting to a new heating appliance, a UL-listed stainless steel liner is essential. Relining seals combustion gases, improves draft efficiency, and protects surrounding combustible framing from extreme heat.
