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.

Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
When you search “chimney cleaning near me,” what you want is someone who can actually get there – not a call center that dispatches from three counties away. Hearthstone Chimney Co. is based locally, and we schedule chimney sweeps throughout Easton and every surrounding town we list below. Most appointments land within a few business days, and our 24/7 live-answer line means you can call at 9 PM on a Sunday and reach a real person who can get you on the calendar.
We complete the vast majority of cleanings in a single visit. A Level 1 Inspection and Level-2 camera inspection run alongside every sweep at no extra charge for the inspection itself – you see the photos, you get the plain-English verdict, and you leave knowing the exact condition of your flue. If something needs attention, we’ll tell you what it is, what it costs, and why. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice, full stop.
Areas We Cover
Hearthstone Chimney Co. serves Easton and a broad ring of nearby communities. If your address falls anywhere in the list below, we can schedule a sweep and get your fireplace cleaned and ready for the season.
- Easton, PA – our primary service area; most of our Easton work comes through our dedicated Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Easton page if you want full local detail.
- Forks Township – one of our busiest areas; older colonials along Sullivan Trail frequently need annual sweeps after a full heating season.
- Wilson Borough – tight older neighborhoods with a lot of brick and clay-tile flues that benefit from camera inspection alongside every cleaning.
- Upper Nazareth Township – newer developments mixed with farmhouse-era homes; we see a wide range of liner types out here.
- Williams Township – riverfront homes along the Delaware see heavy use of wood-burning fireplaces; creosote buildup runs on the higher end, and we account for that.
- Nazareth – Slate Belt stone and brick construction; mortar and crown work often pairs with sweeps in this area.
- Eastlawn Gardens – residential neighborhood we cover as part of our broader Easton service zone.
- Bath – at the north edge of our regular coverage; same upfront pricing, same 90-Day Done Right Promise, no travel surcharge.
Not sure if we reach your address? Call (610) 756-1504 – somebody picks up, every hour of every day, and we’ll tell you straight.

What We Do During a Chimney Sweep
A chimney sweep from Hearthstone isn’t a quick brush-and-go. Here’s the sequence a technician follows on every visit:
- Drop protective covers over your hearth and floor before any work begins – your home stays clean.
- Inspect the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and flue opening from the bottom.
- Sweep the flue with professional-grade brushes to clear creosote, soot, and debris.
- Run a Level-2 camera inspection of the flue interior – you see the footage, we explain what it shows.
- Check the chimney cap, crown, and visible exterior masonry for deterioration.
- Deliver a plain-English verdict: what’s clean, what needs watching, what needs repair.
When we do find problems – cracked liner sections, a failing crown, or a cap that’s let water in – we’ll show you the photo, explain what happens if it goes unaddressed, and give you a written estimate on the spot. No hard sell, just the facts.
Why Creosote Levels Matter in This Part of Pennsylvania
Easton and the surrounding Lehigh Valley see genuine cold stretches from November through March. Homes here run their fireplaces hard, and hard use means creosote removal is needed more often than a once-a-decade sweep can manage. First-degree creosote – the dusty gray kind – brushes out easily. Second-degree glazing requires additional chemical treatment. Third-degree buildup is a fire hazard and requires professional remediation; it is not a DIY project, and attempting to burn it out is specifically dangerous. We document the degree of buildup with camera footage every time so the record is clear and the homeowner always knows where they stand.
In Williams Township especially, where wood is plentiful and fires run long and slow through cold river-valley nights, we regularly find second-degree deposits in chimneys that homeowners believed were fine. Annual sweeps catch that before it becomes a problem.

The $89 Seasonal Tune-Up is a standing offer that covers basic cleaning for straightforward systems.

Call (610) 756-1504 for a free estimate on your specific setup.
Can I call after hours if I have a chimney concern?
Yes. Hearthstone’s phones are staffed by a live person every hour of every day – not a voicemail, not a callback form. If you smell smoke in a room where you shouldn’t, if your damper won’t close, or if you simply want to book a sweep at 10 PM on a Saturday, call (610) 756-1504 and someone answers. For an active chimney fire, call 911 first, then close the damper if it’s safe to reach, and keep people away from the fireplace area. Once the immediate situation is handled, we can assess the damage and walk you through what comes next.
Why Easton Homeowners Call Hearthstone First
There are plenty of one-truck operators in the Lehigh Valley and a handful of national chains that price-cut to win the first job and disappear on the callback. Hearthstone is neither. Russell Haines founded this company in 1984 and it has stayed local, stayed accountable, and stayed plainspoken for over 42 years. The technician who shows up is background-checked, in uniform, and equipped to do the whole job in one visit. The materials we use – DuraFlex flexible liners, HeatShield resurfacing system, Gelco and Olympia Chimney caps and dampers, Famco and Copperfield accessories – are the same ones professional chimney contractors use on high-end restorations. No builder-grade substitutes, no mystery brands sourced to hit a budget number.
A fair number of our Easton-area customers have been with us for fifteen or twenty years. Some of them called us the first time because a neighbor gave them the number. They kept calling because the work held up. That’s the only kind of reputation worth building.
