Regular inspections and maintenance is important to your home's safety.
Chimney Inspections & Sweep
With regular chimney inspections and proper maintenance, you are helping to prevent a dangerous fire and avoiding repairs much more expensive than the cost of preventative measures.
Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repair

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a chimney inspection in Florida?
The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) recommends professional inspections at least once a year. Annual inspections help prevent dangerous chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning by identifying creosote buildup, structural damage, or obstructions before you light your first fire of the season.
Can I get a chimney sweep without making a mess in my house?
Yes. Always A Sweep provides a “ZERO mess” guarantee. Our technicians use heavy-grade, single-use tarps and high-powered 3-motor vacuums equipped with fine micron HEPA filtration. This specialized equipment ensures all soot, dust, and debris are contained and removed without affecting your home’s air quality or surfaces.
How do I know if my chimney has a water leak?
Common signs of chimney water intrusion include damp fireplace walls, rusted dampers, or “efflorescence” (white staining) on exterior brickwork. We use advanced infrared camera technology to conduct Water Intrusion Assessments, identifying hidden leaks in the crown, flashing, or masonry that visual inspections might miss.
Where can I find a certified chimney sweep in Ocala or Gainesville?
Always A Sweep has provided expert, certified chimney services to Ocala and Gainesville, Florida, since 1982. Our team consists of CSIA and CCP-certified technicians who specialize in local masonry needs, gas fireplace repairs, and dryer vent cleaning across North Central Florida.
Why should I have my dryer vent cleaned professionally?
Professional dryer vent cleaning prevents house fires caused by lint buildup and improves appliance efficiency. If your clothes take more than one cycle to dry or the dryer feels hot to the touch, your vent likely needs a deep clean and inspection to ensure proper airflow.
