How Much Does a Chimney Sweep Cost in Tampa? (2026 Prices)
Updated November 2026
The short answer
Most Tampa Bay homeowners pay about $100 to $200 for a standard chimney sweep of a wood-burning fireplace. Our price is $179 and it includes a visual inspection with photos. If you only want an inspection, it's $99.
What a proper sweep includes
Floor and furniture protection, brushing the full flue, cleaning the smoke chamber and firebox, removing the soot and creosote, and a look at the damper, cap and crown. You should get photos of what was found — not just a receipt.
How often should a Florida chimney be swept?
Florida fireplaces are used less than up north, so once a year is plenty for regular use, and every 2–3 years for light use. Even an unused chimney can collect nests, leaves and moisture, so an inspection every couple of years is a good idea.
Signs you need a sweep now
A smoky smell in the house, black flakes falling into the firebox, a fire that doesn't draw well, or animals and birds in the chimney. Creosote buildup is the main cause of chimney fires.
What a sweep does not cover
Masonry, crown repairs, liners and inserts are repair work that may need a licensed contractor and a permit. If we find something like that, we tell you and connect you with a licensed contractor.
