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.

AfterChimney Company in Orlando, FL
Alcott Chimney Sweep is a chimney company serving Orlando, FL, and we handle the kind of chimney work that this climate actually creates. Most Orlando fireplaces sit unused for eleven months of the year, which means the problems we see aren’t heavy creosote but moisture damage, mold, rusted chase covers, and wildlife nesting inside flues. If you’re looking for a home chimney company that understands prefab fireplaces, humidity, and chimney swifts, you’ve found us. Call (336) 863-3889 when you’re ready to talk.
Why Orlando Homes Are Different
Orlando’s housing stock skews heavily toward factory-built, zero-clearance prefabricated fireplaces set inside wood-framed chases, not traditional masonry. You see this in developments across Ocoee, Windermere, Kissimmee, and Lake Nona. Those chases have galvanized or aluminum covers up top, and between Florida’s UV exposure and near-daily summer thunderstorms, chase covers corrode and leak faster than anything on a masonry chimney. When water gets into a prefab chase, it doesn’t just rust the metal. It soaks the framing, feeds mold, and creates an indoor air quality problem even if you never light a fire.
Orlando also sits under a migratory path for chimney swifts, a federally protected bird that nests inside uncapped flues from roughly April through October. Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, no one can disturb an active nest. That means the realistic window for sweeping, inspecting, and capping in Orlando is November through March. We schedule around that, and we’ll tell you plainly if a visit needs to wait until after the birds leave.

Chimney Sweep in Orlando
An Orlando chimney sweep is less about removing heavy creosote and more about clearing out mold, mildew, rust flakes, and the nesting debris that chimney swifts and squirrels leave behind. Warm humid air condenses inside a cold flue liner, and that moisture breeds biological growth even with zero wood burning. We remove it, check the chase cover and cap, and tell you whether the flue can safely wait another year. Ruben Castellano’s crews approach every Orlando sweep with the assumption that water has been getting in somewhere. Chimney Sweep in Orlando has the full breakdown.
Chimney Inspection in Orlando
In Orlando, an inspection is the only way to know whether a fireplace that hasn’t been lit since last winter has water damage, a rusted damper, or an active animal nest above the flue. We use camera equipment to look at the liner and the chase interior, and we show you what we find. On prefab units common in Ocoee and Lake Nona, the chase cover gets the closest look because it’s the first thing to fail. Chimney Inspection in Orlando covers levels, timing, and local code angles.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Orlando
Gas fireplaces in Orlando get used on the occasional cold night, but they sit idle through long humid stretches. That makes pilot assemblies, thermocouples, and electrical connections more prone to corrosion than you’d see in a colder climate. We diagnose igniters, valves, and venting on gas units, and we carry professional replacement parts rather than box-store substitutes. If the unit is safe to repair, we repair it. If it’s not, we say so. Gas Fireplace Repair in Orlando has the details.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Orlando
Most Orlando appointments are scheduled within five to seven business days. During the November-through-March swift window, we open more slots because that’s when capping and sweeping can legally happen. Call (336) 863-3889 and a live person will give you the first real availability.
Some Orlando HOA neighborhoods, particularly master-planned communities, require notice or approval before exterior work like chase cover replacement or cap installation. We’re familiar with the process in larger developments and can tell you what to check with your HOA before we start. Interior sweeping and inspection rarely need approval.
Chimney swifts are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act from the moment they nest until the young fledge, typically April through October. Disturbing an active nest carries federal liability, so any reputable Orlando chimney company waits for the November-through-March window. If birds are in your flue now, we’ll schedule the cleaning for the first legal opportunity.
