Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Tempe, AZ
Tempe’s fireplace stock runs from 1950s ranch homes near ASU with original masonry fireplaces to newer gas and factory-built units in the south of the city, and each one ages differently under the same brutal sun. Chimney repair here is less about wood smoke than about heat-cycled flue tiles, dust-choked caps, and dampers that quit after decades of dry summers. We’re a full-service chimney company that handles the diagnosis, the cleaning, and the repair with the same crew. Call (855) 664-1862 for a free estimate.
Why Tempe Homes Are Different
Tempe chimneys live a strange life. They sit idle through months of 105°F-plus heat, then get worked hard on the handful of genuinely cold winter nights that hit the Valley. That on-and-off pattern lets creosote set up hard instead of burning off gradually, and it leaves the flue open to everything the desert throws at it.
Monsoon dust storms are the other half of the story. Fine tan grit coats caps, spark screens, and flue tops, and summer heat bakes it into a crust that doesn’t brush away like soot. On top of that, the core neighborhoods in 85281 and 85283 are full of single-story block homes with masonry fireplaces built between the 1950s and 1970s, while infill near ASU and newer builds to the south lean toward factory-built or gas units. Two very different chimneys, two very different inspections. Ten minutes of desert heat cycling can crack a flue tile that looked fine last season.

Our Main Tempe Services
Most Tempe homeowners call us about one of two things: the chimney they actually burn in, and the dryer vent they’ve never once looked at.
Chimney Sweep in Tempe
A sweep in Tempe is a different job than a sweep in a wet climate. We’re clearing creosote that’s hardened through a long off-season, but we’re also pulling baked-on desert dust and grit out of caps and screens, and checking flues for bird and wasp nests that move in during the quiet months. The first cleaning of the fall is often more about debris than smoke. We check the damper, the cap, and the visible flue tiles while we’re in there, and we tell you plainly when something can wait. Book a chimney sweep before the first cold snap and you’ll know exactly what shape the flue is in.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tempe
Lint buildup is one of the leading causes of residential house fires, and Tempe’s dusty air doesn’t help – grit rides along with the lint and clogs the vent faster than most people expect. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, or the outside vent flap barely moves, the duct is restricted. We clean the full run, not just the first few feet behind the dryer, and we pull the lint out where you can see it. This one stands alone from chimney work, so it’s worth booking even if you’ve never had a fireplace. Schedule dryer vent cleaning and get that risk off the list.
Chimney Repair in Tempe
Tempe’s older masonry fireplaces were built for a climate that punishes them in slow motion. The 1950s and 1960s block homes in the core have flue tiles that crack as the chimney heats and cools season after season, and factory-built units in the newer parts of town have their own failure points at the cap and the joints. Dust, heat, and a long idle season do the rest. We handle chimney repair as a full-service job – we diagnose, we clean, we repair – so you’re not handing the chimney off to a second company that never saw the inside of it.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You’re finding grit, leaves, or bird mess in the firebox, or the flue top is wide open to the sky.
What it costs in Tempe
Cap installation typically runs $185 to $450 depending on the flue size and whether it’s a stock or custom cap.
How we do it
We measure the flue, fit a cap sized to the opening, and secure it to the crown so monsoon wind can’t lift it.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted, bent, screen-torn, or packed solid with baked-on desert dust.
What it costs in Tempe
Replacement usually falls between $175 and $425, with the old cap removed and hauled off.
How we do it
We pull the failing cap, inspect the flue top and crown underneath it, then set and fasten a new one built for this climate.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Camera inspection shows cracked or missing flue tiles, gaps at the joints, or a flue that’s undersized for the appliance.
What it costs in Tempe
Liner installation typically runs $1,800 to $4,500, driven by height, flue condition, and liner material.
How we do it
We size the liner to the appliance, run a DuraFlex system down the flue with proper insulation and connections, and confirm the fit with a camera pass.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Tempe
| Item | Typical range in Tempe |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $185 – $450 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $175 – $425 |
| Chimney liner installation | $1,800 – $4,500 |
Does a chimney cap really matter in Tempe?
Yes – a cap is the main defense against monsoon dust, rain intrusion, and birds nesting in the flue during the long off-season. A torn or missing cap lets grit and debris straight into the chimney.
How do I know if my Tempe chimney needs a liner?
Only a camera inspection inside the flue tells you for sure – cracked tiles and joint gaps don’t show from the firebox. We show you the footage before recommending anything, and we say plainly when a liner can wait.
Brands We Service in Tempe
We work with professional-grade lines – DuraFlex for liner systems, HeatShield for ceramic resurfacing, and Famco and Copperfield for venting and components – sourced through professional supply channels rather than big-box shelves. If you already own a system from one of these makers, we can assess it. See our brands for the full picture. Most jobs that need a part we don’t stock on the spot get scheduled once it’s in hand.

What Tempe Customers Say
"Work is good and the price was fair. The scheduling was a little loose, the window they gave me was pretty wide and he showed up at the back end of it. Once he was here he was quick and knew what he was doing."
- Kristen Whitaker"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
- David Chen"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
