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.

We’ve been cleaning and inspecting chimneys in Greenwood Village since our company launched in 2009, and the homes here are unlike most in the metro area. The large executive properties built between 1970 and 1995 weren’t built with one fireplace - they were built with two, sometimes three. A great-room hearth inside. A patio hearth outside. All masonry. Many converted to gas logs in the 1990s and 2000s while the original flues kept aging. That’s the profile we see on almost every call to E. Belleview Avenue or S. Yosemite Street. Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team knows these systems, and we document every flue with a camera-scan photo record.
Why Level Two Chimney Littleton Is Greenwood Village’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company
Greenwood Village homeowners research before they call. We built our entire process around that.
More than 38,000 chimneys inspected and cleaned since 2009 - every one with a written price before work started and a documented record when it was done. In Greenwood Village specifically, we regularly hear from customers who found us after a competitor’s “inspection” turned out to be a flashlight glance and a hard sell for liner work they couldn’t verify. Our approach is different. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a photo record on every job, so you see what we see: the flue liner condition, the crown integrity, the creosote class, the mortar joints. No guesswork. No pressure.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and assigned by name. You get a text when they’re on the way. Our phone is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - not a voicemail tree. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
We know the local conditions that affect your chimney. At roughly 5,700 feet elevation, Greenwood Village sits in Front Range Chinook country, where sudden downslope wind events can reverse chimney draft without warning. The semi-arid climate produces sharp freeze-thaw cycling every winter that aggressively spalls mortar joints and crowns. These aren’t abstract concerns. They’re failure modes we document on camera during routine sweeps in Greenwood Village homes.
Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Greenwood Village

Level 1 Inspection
A Level 1 inspection is the baseline annual service for a chimney that’s been in continuous use with no changes to the appliance or venting system. In Greenwood Village, this applies mainly to gas log inserts that were professionally installed and haven’t been modified. We examine readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, and connecting appliances. We verify clearances to combustibles and check for basic structural soundness. But here’s the reality for most Greenwood Village homes: if your property has a 1970s or 1980s masonry fireplace that was converted to gas logs, a Level 1 inspection is rarely sufficient. The original flue liner is still there, still aging, and still exposed to moisture and temperature cycling. We tell you plainly when a Level 2 inspection is the right call.

Level 2 Inspection
This is our standard for every first visit to a Greenwood Village home, and for good reason. NFPA 211 Level 2 requires a camera scan of the entire flue interior, from firebox to crown. We lower a high-resolution camera through the flue liner and record the footage. You see what we see: spalling mortar, cracked tiles, gaps between liner sections, Class III creosote glaze, or water damage from a failed crown. In Greenwood Village’s executive homes, we frequently find that the original masonry flue behind a 1990s gas log conversion has deteriorated significantly - damage the homeowner had no way to detect because gas burns clean and produces no visible smoke. The camera doesn’t lie. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this documented photo record on every job, and we’ve done it that way since 2009. You walk away with the footage, a written scope of any needed repairs, and a written price before any additional work begins.

Creosote Removal
Creosote is a combustible deposit that builds up in wood-burning flues, but it also forms in gas flues under certain conditions - particularly when a conversion was poorly vented or when the original liner is oversized for the gas appliance. In Greenwood Village, we see first-degree creosote (sooty, brushable) in exterior patio hearths that were never capped and have been exposed to debris and moisture for decades. We see second-degree creosote (tar-like flakes) in original wood-burning flues that saw heavy use before conversion. And we see third-degree creosote (glazed, hardened) in chimneys where the homeowner assumed gas logs meant zero maintenance. We remove it with rotary chains, whips, or chemical treatment depending on the class and location. Every removal is documented with before-and-after camera footage.

Soot Removal
Soot accumulation in gas log fireplaces is often dismissed as harmless. It isn’t. Soot indicates incomplete combustion, which means carbon monoxide risk. In Greenwood Village’s tightly built executive homes from the 1980s and 1990s, negative pressure from modern HVAC systems can compound draft problems. We remove soot from the firebox, smoke chamber, and accessible flue areas, then inspect for the cause: improper gas log installation, deteriorating flue liner, or house-pressure issues. We don’t just clean it. We name why it’s there.

Annual Sweep
For Greenwood Village homes with multiple fireplaces - the great-room hearth, the patio hearth, perhaps a basement stove - an annual sweep schedule is the only way to stay ahead of cumulative deterioration. We structure these as coordinated visits: one dispatch, one written price for all flues, one documented record for your insurance or resale file. The freeze-thaw cycling at this elevation doesn’t pause because you converted to gas. The crown cracks. The mortar spalls. The flue liner gaps open. An annual sweep catches it while it’s still a maintenance item, not a rebuild.

Fireplace Cleaning
Fireplace cleaning addresses the visible and accessible components: firebox walls, damper assembly, smoke shelf, and hearth extension. In Greenwood Village’s large masonry fireplaces, the smoke shelf - the flat area behind the damper - often collects years of fallen debris, from deteriorated mortar to old bird nests. We clean it thoroughly and camera-inspect the area above it. A clean fireplace is safer, drafts better, and gives us the access we need for a complete flue evaluation.

No “call for pricing.”
Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Greenwood Village Homes

- Gas conversion blind spot. Homeowners assume the 1990s gas log conversion retired the original masonry flue, so the fireplace gets no annual sweep. First-degree creosote and moisture damage build unchecked. We find this in roughly half our first visits to Greenwood Village homes.
- Neglected exterior patio hearths. The outdoor unit was never swept, capped, or inspected. An uncapped flue invites nesting animals and accumulates debris. At 5,700 feet with Chinook wind reversals, it becomes a chimney fire risk that an interior-only sweep never touches.
- Freeze-thaw spalling. Sharp winter temperature swings spall mortar joints and chimney crowns. We catch this during routine cleaning visits before water intrusion opens gaps in the flue liner.
- Chinook draft reversal. Sudden downslope wind events can reverse chimney draft without warning. A Level 2 inspection documents flue condition and venting configuration so we can identify whether your system is vulnerable.

FAQs - Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Greenwood Village

Yes. The original masonry flue remains active and still deteriorates from moisture, temperature cycling, and freeze-thaw damage. Gas burns cleaner than wood, but it doesn’t stop mortar from spalling or crowns from cracking. We regularly find significant deterioration in gas-converted flues that haven’t been inspected in a decade. Call (720) 439-4666 for a written estimate - estimates are free.
An uncapped exterior flue accumulates debris, moisture, and animal nesting material regardless of use. In Greenwood Hills and similar neighborhoods, these patio hearths were often left unswept and uncapped when the interior fireplace was converted to gas. The flue is open to the elements at 5,700 feet, and Chinook winds can reverse draft through any open chimney. We inspect and cap these as standard practice during multi-flue visits. Call (720) 439-4666 to schedule.
A Level 2 inspection includes a camera scan of the entire flue interior, accessible attics, crawl spaces, and basements, plus inspection of clearances to combustibles in all locations. A standard sweep cleans accessible surfaces but doesn’t document hidden flue liner condition. For Greenwood Village’s 1970-1995 masonry homes with aging original flues, the camera footage is what reveals whether your chimney is safe or needs repair. Every Level 2 includes a documented photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4. Call (720) 439-4666 for pricing.
Yes. At roughly 5,700 feet, Greenwood Village experiences sharper freeze-thaw cycling than lower-elevation Denver neighborhoods, which accelerates mortar and crown deterioration. More specifically, Front Range Chinook downslope winds can reverse chimney draft without warning - a failure mode essentially unique to this elevation corridor. A Level 2 inspection documents your flue configuration and venting so we can assess draft vulnerability. Call (720) 439-4666 to book.
We structure it as a single coordinated visit with one written price for all flues. Our technician inspects and sweeps both systems, documents each with separate camera footage, and notes any cap, crown, or liner issues specific to each. In Greenwood Village’s multi-fireplace executive homes, this is our standard approach - not an upsell. Call (720) 439-4666 for a written estimate on your specific configuration.
