Polar Bear Chimney Sweep was started in 1985 by my father. I grew up helping him by installing fireplaces and stoves. He has since passed the company to me. Our number one priority to this day is still to make sure our customers have a safe fireplace and/or stove to heat their home. Over time, chimneys may become clogged with creosote, a by-product of burning wood.
This builds up over time and leaves a highly combustible creosote on the inside of the chimney. Creosote build up is often caused by poor air supply, so your regular chimney cleaning helps to prevent creosote formation as well. After a while lint can build up and become a fire hazard, It doesn't all get caught by the lint trap.
If the mortar within the fireplace is beginning to crumble and bricks are becoming loose it is time to have the joint repaired. Typically made of steel or cast iron, Log Grates will increase air movement around the fire, allowing it to burn more evenly and efficiently. The Lighter Bar is installed under the grate in a wood-burning fireplace to make the task of getting a fire started easier and safer.

Chris and Adam have both been out this year to work on our chimney. We trust them completely! Chris and his family have taken care of us for many years. They take care to keep your home clean and work safely. This year, we knew that the age of our chimney would most likely need to be addressed with some minor repairs. They have kept the costs down by performing the cleaning and minor repair this winter and will come back this summer and complete a larger repair needed on the cap. I am always very happy when I deal with them, in all respects. They’re busy because so many people trust them.. call

Christopher came out and did an amazing job cleaning our fireplace and wood pellet stove.
He made sure the floors were protected throughout and everything was cleaned up afterwards. Very courteous and respectful! We’ll definitely recommend him to anyone!

Adam was prompt, friendly, and efficient. He started work immediately and was thorough. I appreciate the extra little things he did, such as glass cleaning, that really make the difference in how much I enjoy my fireplace. Adam gave me a brief report when he finished. I will definitely use this service again, and highly recommend this organization. I found everyone I talked to courteous and professional. The appointment making was quick and pleasant, and I appreciate the reminder phone call a few days in advance. Thank for making this experience so easy.
