Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

BeforeAfterAlexandria Pricing: What Our Offers Actually Cover
We’re asked constantly how much a chimney sweep costs in Alexandria. Our standard chimney cleaning and inspection for a single-flue masonry fireplace in Alexandria typically runs $249 to $379. A two-story home with a taller flue or a heavier creosote load can push that to $425. Your written price is locked before work begins, and the offers on this page reduce that number further where applicable.
Here’s what the line items look like on a typical sweep in Alexandria:
- Chimney sweep (single flue, masonry fireplace): $249 to $379
- NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scan: Included, not a line item
- Smoke chamber cleaning, when needed: $75 to $150 added only if the camera shows buildup
- Chimney cap replacement (if yours is rusted or missing): $185 to $385 installed, using Olympia Chimney or Famco caps
- Chimney crown repair (minor cracks sealed): $225 to $475 depending on crown size and spalling severity
These are the numbers we quote every week in Alexandria neighborhoods from Rosemont to Kingstowne. They don’t change when the weather turns cold and they don’t change after we’re already in your living room.
What We Actually Find in Alexandria Chimneys
Alexandria’s housing stock skews older. A lot of the chimneys we service in Del Ray and North Ridge were built between 1930 and 1960. That means unlined or clay tile flue liners, shallow smoke chambers, and mortar crowns that have been soaking up Virginia humidity for 70 years. We sweep these chimneys and then we tell you what the camera saw. That’s the part that matters.
Class III creosote means the flue has a thick, baked-on tar glaze. It’s a fire hazard and it doesn’t brush off easily. We tell you when that’s what we found, and we show you the photo. A spalling brick crown means water has been freezing and thawing inside the masonry, popping the face off the bricks. If it’s surface-level, it can wait. If the water’s gotten behind the liner, it can’t. You’ll know which one you have because we’ll show you the footage before we recommend a dollar of repair.
Why We Run Offers the Way We Do
Most chimney companies use a coupon to get a technician into your home and then write up a repair estimate that dwarfs the sweep price. That is not how Level Two Chimney Alexandria operates. Our offers are reductions on a written price you see before work begins. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job, and if something isn’t done right, we make it right. That promise is stamped on your paperwork under the Haven Standard.
We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009. Every single one had a written price before work started and a documented record when the job was done. The offers on this page are the same work, the same documentation, the same warranty. Just a better number for Alexandria homeowners who call and mention them.
Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Cleaning in Alexandria
A standard chimney sweep in Alexandria runs $249 to $379 for a single-flue masonry fireplace, with taller or dirtier flues pushing toward $425. Level Two Chimney Alexandria gives you a written price before work starts, and it includes the camera scan and photo record. Call (240) 290-6726 for an exact quote, and mention any offer on this page to bring the number down further.
Yes, and the reason is animals and water, not just creosote. We’ve pulled dead birds, squirrel nests, and rusted damper parts out of Alexandria chimneys that hadn’t been used in years. A chimney that isn’t used still gets wet, and water does the slow kind of damage that costs real money later. A camera scan shows you what’s actually in there.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends a sweep when creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch or more, which for regular fire use in Alexandria means once per burning season. If you burn pine or unseasoned wood, you may need it twice. We’ll photograph the creosote level during your sweep so you can see exactly how close you are to that threshold. Call (240) 290-6726 and we’ll put your next sweep on the calendar.
Creosote hardens into a glaze that’s harder to remove and more dangerous to burn under. The risk is a chimney fire, which can crack a clay flue liner or spread into the house. In older Alexandria homes with unlined chimneys, that risk is higher. A sweep costs a few hundred dollars. A full chimney rebuild is several thousand. The math favors the sweep, and we’ll show you the camera footage to prove where your chimney falls.
Yes. Seniors 65 and older and active or retired military get a standing courtesy discount year-round. First-time customers get an introductory sweep rate. And anyone with a written estimate from another chimney company gets a free second opinion from us that often comes in lower. Tell us which applies when you call (240) 290-6726.
