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.

If you’re searching for chimney cleaning near you in Denver, Level Two Chimney Co. covers the metro and most inner suburbs, with same-day scheduling available most days of the week. Every visit includes a camera-scan inspection under NFPA 211 Level 2 standards, a written price before anyone touches the flue, and a documented photo record when the job is done. Call (720) 674-7312 right now – a live person picks up around the clock.
We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings across the Denver metro since 2009. Every single one came with a written price before work started. That’s not a tagline – it’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s been the rule here since day one. Corrine Halstead built Level Two Chimney Co. on that practice because she’d seen too many homeowners handed a surprise invoice after the technician was already inside the firebox.
If a competitor has given you a written estimate, bring it to us. We offer a free second opinion on any written quote – no pressure, no obligation.
Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
Most Denver-area appointments are available within one to two business days, and same-day slots open up regularly, especially mid-week. When you call (720) 674-7312, you’re not leaving a voicemail or filling out a web form – you’re talking to a real person who can check the schedule and confirm your time right then.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and assigned to your job by name. You’ll get a text when they’re on the way. That’s Haven Standard – not an upgrade, not a premium tier. It’s what every Level Two job looks like.
For homeowners who’ve been putting off chimney service because the scheduling felt like a hassle, this is the part where we ask you to just make the call. We handle the coordination. You get a clean flue, a camera record, and a written scope you can file with your home documents.
What the Service Includes
A Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Denver from Level Two is not a flashlight glance and a quick brush. Here’s what’s included on every standard cleaning visit:
- Camera-scan inspection (NFPA 211 Level 2): A camera goes down the flue liner so we can see actual conditions – cracks, spalling brick, mortar deterioration, or creosote class – before we quote anything.
- Written price before work starts: Haven Standard Clause 1. You see the number, you approve it, then we start. No surprises after.
- Rotary brush cleaning: We clear the flue of soot, debris, and creosote buildup. Class I creosote (light, powdery deposits) comes out in one pass. Class II (tar-like, glazed flaking) takes more time and we’ll tell you that upfront. Class III (hardened glaze, shiny and dense) is a restoration job that requires chemical treatment first – we’ll document it and quote it separately if we find it.
- Smoke chamber and firebox inspection: The smoke chamber sits just above the firebox throat; it’s where a lot of unlined or deteriorating systems show their worst damage. We check it every time.
- Documented photo record: Haven Standard Clause 4. You get photos of what we found and what we did. That record lives with your home file – useful for insurance, useful for the next buyer, useful any time someone asks what condition your chimney is in.
- 365-Day Done Right Promise: If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That’s stamped on every job.
Materials, when needed for same-day repairs, come from suppliers we trust: DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield – sourced through Haven’s buying network to keep pricing honest.

Why Denver Chimneys Need Annual Cleaning
Denver sits at 5,280 feet, and that elevation matters for chimney performance. At altitude, combustion is slightly less complete than at sea level, which means wood-burning fireplaces in Denver homes tend to deposit creosote faster than their counterparts in lower-elevation cities. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Wash Park, Capitol Hill, and Sunnyside who use their fireplaces regularly through a Colorado winter – October through March, realistically – should treat our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep services as a fixed maintenance line item, not an optional one.
The Front Range temperature swings also accelerate crown and mortar deterioration. Freeze-thaw cycles crack mortar joints faster here than in milder climates. We regularly see spalling brick (surface flaking caused by water penetration and freezing) on chimneys in older Denver neighborhoods like Berkeley and Globeville that haven’t been serviced in three or four years. A sweep visit catches that early; ignoring it leads to liner damage that costs significantly more to fix.
Colorado also has strict air quality rules. Denver is classified as a serious nonattainment area for particulate matter under EPA standards, and the DAQCC enforces wood-burning curtailment days during high-pollution periods. A clean, efficient flue burns hotter and produces less particulate. That’s not just a safety point – it’s compliance.
Areas We Cover
Level Two Chimney Co. serves homeowners across the Denver metro. If you’re in Denver proper – including neighborhoods like Park Hill, Virginia Village, Sloan’s Lake, or Congress Park – we’re close. We also cover Englewood, Greenwood Village, Centennial, Aurora, Thornton, Wheat Ridge, and Arvada. If you’re just outside the city line and not sure whether we reach you, call (720) 674-7312 and we’ll tell you immediately.
Service availability and scheduling windows vary slightly by area – Aurora and Centennial appointments fill fastest in late September and October when homeowners are prepping for the heating season. Thornton and Wheat Ridge slots tend to stay more open mid-week. Either way, call early in the day and we can usually get you on the calendar within 48 hours, often sooner.

A Note on Safety: Don’t Adjust Springs or Cables Yourself
This section exists because we get asked: can a homeowner do a basic chimney cleaning themselves? For light surface debris at the firebox opening, sure. But the moment the job involves going on the roof, working near the flue opening at height, or dealing with anything above the firebox throat – hire a trained technician. Falls from rooflines are a leading cause of home-maintenance injuries. Beyond the height risk, a DIY brush pass does nothing to identify liner cracks, spalling, or Creosote Removal needs, which are the conditions that actually cause chimney fires. The camera scan is not optional if you want to know the actual condition of the flue. A clean-looking firebox can sit above a severely deteriorated liner. That’s exactly why Level Two made camera documentation the default in 2009 and why Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a photo record on every single visit.

Can I call after hours? What if I smell smoke or notice a blockage at night?
Yes. Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – not a voicemail, not an answering service that takes a message. If you’re smelling smoke backing into the house or suspect a blockage, call (720) 674-7312 immediately. We’ll assess over the phone whether it’s urgent and get you scheduled. If you’re smelling smoke and have an active fire in the firebox, extinguish it safely and call 911 first, then call us.
What’s included in your Level 2 inspection versus a basic cleaning?
At Level Two Chimney Co., there’s no “basic cleaning without inspection.” Every visit includes a camera scan of the flue liner under Level 1 Inspection and NFPA 211 Level 2 standards, the rotary brush sweep, a smoke chamber check, and a documented photo record. That’s the standard. We made camera documentation the default here in 2009, years before most competitors or insurers asked for it, and it’s now Clause 4 of the Haven Standard. The photo record goes home with you.

- Lorna D."They told me the flue was fine and I did not need a liner. Charged me for the inspection and nothing else. That is why I have called them twice since."
