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 Largo, FL
Hadley Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Largo homeowners call when they want a straight answer, not a sales pitch. Most chimneys here aren’t heating homes through winter; they’re venting gas appliances or standing as decorative masonry. That changes what we look for, and it changes what you should expect to pay. Call (850) 790-3475 and a live person answers, every time.
Why Largo Homes Are Different
Largo’s housing stock runs heavily to 1950s through 1970s ranch-style and mid-century homes, and a lot of those still have their original masonry chimneys. Newer construction leans on prefabricated metal flues instead. Both fight the same enemy here: subtropical moisture. High humidity, summer thunderstorms, and salt air off the Gulf accelerate rust in metal chimneys and keep masonry damp for months at a stretch. Then there’s the fact that mild winters mean flues sit unused from spring through fall, which is exactly when squirrels, birds, and raccoons decide they’d make a fine place to nest. In older Largo neighborhoods like Keene Park and Lakeview, we regularly find chimney caps corroded through from salt exposure, with a bird’s nest sitting ten feet below it in a flue that hasn’t seen a fire in years. That’s the Largo pattern: not creosote from heavy burning, but corrosion, blockages, and animal intrusion in chimneys nobody thought about until the gas fireplace wouldn’t light or water started staining the ceiling.

Our Main Largo Services
These are the two chimney jobs Largo homeowners call about most, plus the gas fireplace work that rounds out the house. Each service has its own Largo page with full pricing and process details.
Chimney Sweep in Largo
A Chimney Sweep in Largo here is less about removing creosote from heavy wood burning and more about clearing what moved in while the flue was idle. We remove nests, debris, and accumulated soot, then run a camera inspection so you see the flue’s actual condition. Before we start, you get a written price, and after we finish, you get photos showing the flue before and after. No guessing what you paid for.
Chimney Repair in Largo
Chimney Repair in Largo usually starts with a rusted cap, a cracked crown, or a damaged liner found during a sweep. One of the honest parts of our repair process is that you see the same camera footage we see. If the liner is failing, we’ll show you exactly where and why. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if it fails within 365 days, we come back free.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Largo
Plenty of Largo homes have gas fireplaces that get used for a handful of cool evenings each year, and then ignored for months. That’s why Gas Fireplace Repair in Largo calls often come in waves when the first cool front hits and the pilot won’t stay lit. We diagnose the ignition system, gas valve, and venting, and you get a written price before we touch a component.
