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 Clovis, CA
Clovis homes run on fireplaces all winter, but the valley’s long dry summers mean chimneys sit untouched for months while creosote hardens and starlings build nests in flues north of Shaw Avenue. When the first cold snap hits, a lot of homeowners discover problems the hard way. Alcott Chimney Sweep handles chimney sweeping, inspection, and gas fireplace repair throughout Clovis with transparent pricing and technicians you can verify before they arrive. Call (559) 215-1714 for a free estimate.
Why Clovis Homes Are Different
Clovis has a high concentration of 1980s-2000s tract homes built with pre-fab wood-burning fireplaces and zero-clearance units. These systems get overlooked for years because they look self-contained, but the refractory panels crack, the flues clog, and birds find their way in during the long dry season. We regularly see starling nests inside manufactured flues in the newer subdivisions north of Shaw Avenue, and in Old Town Clovis, original masonry chimneys with clay liners from the 1960s and 1970s need careful evaluation before any burning season.
Our crews serving Clovis understand the difference between a direct-vent gas fireplace needing a quick service call and a ranch home’s wood-burning flue that has years of hardened creosote – the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires. Sudden fall use after months of dormancy is the moment hidden problems turn into visible ones.

Our Main Clovis Services
Most Clovis homeowners call us for a sweep or an inspection. Here’s how each one works locally.
Chimney Sweep in Clovis
A proper sweep in Clovis removes the creosote and debris that build up while the fireplace sits unused through the hot valley summer. We see hardened, glassy creosote in wood-burning fireplaces all over Clovis that requires more than a brush – and in north Clovis subdivisions, we frequently pull starling nesting material out of manufactured flues before it becomes a fire hazard. Chimney Sweep in Clovis covers the full process, including what to expect during the visit.
Chimney Inspection in Clovis
Clovis homeowners often request an inspection after buying a 1980s-2000s tract home with a pre-fab fireplace that has never been opened up. Cracked refractory panels and bird-nested flues are the two most common findings. A camera inspection shows you what we see before any repair is recommended – and on older Old Town Clovis chimneys with original clay liners, that visual evidence matters even more. Chimney Inspection in Clovis details camera and visual inspection options.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Clovis
Newer Clovis subdivisions feature direct-vent gas units that develop pilot light failures, faulty thermocouples, and burner ignition problems after long periods of inactivity. We service gas fireplaces in Clovis with the same upfront pricing and identity-verified technicians as our wood-burning work. If a gas fireplace smells or won’t ignite when the first foggy valley cold snap arrives, don’t wait. Gas Fireplace Repair in Clovis explains common repairs and how to prepare for the visit.

What pushes a Clovis price higher is usually access – steep roofs on two-story tract homes, or damaged masonry on a 1970s Old Town chimney that needs scaffolding. North Clovis single-story homes with straightforward chase access tend to land on the lower end. Every customer receives a written price before work starts, so there are never surprise charges at the end of the job.

What Clovis Customers Say
"Good chimney cleaning. They found a small gap in the mortar and quoted the repair, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Did the sweep and left the repair for later without any pressure."
- Stuart L."Damper was stuck shut and I thought I'd need a new one. He freed it and lubricated it for almost nothing. Honest guys."
- Calvin M."We'd had a bird nest in the flue for a year. Removed it, installed a new cap, and we finally got a draft that works. No smoke smell in the house."
- Eric Q.
