Gustavo Chimney Sweep Company - in Ballwin, MO
Rotary HEPA Chimney Sweeping
Level 1 & 2 Video Flue Inspections
Motorized rotary whip rods scrub soot and stage-one creosote from smoke shelves, fireboxes, and flue walls while dual HEPA extraction vacuums capture microscopic particulates inside your home.
We guide a high-resolution 360-degree rotating optic scanner through your entire chimney flue. The live feed reveals hidden tile cracks, mortar deterioration, moisture leaks, and dangerous creosote buildup before any fire is lit.
Glaze Creosote Chemical Removal
Hardened stage-three creosote glaze requires chemical neutralizers applied directly to masonry liners. We break down combustible tar deposits without fracturing delicate antique flue tiles.
Precision chimney repairs
Tuckpointing and Crown Seal Repair
Freeze-thaw cycles in Missouri crack exterior mortar joints and chimney crowns. We rake damaged mortar and tool weather-resistant lime-cement blends to halt water intrusion before roofline masonry collapses.
Stainless Steel Chimney Caps
Custom-fitted 304 stainless steel chimney caps protect open flues against driving rain, nesting raccoons, birds, and windborne downdrafts. Each unit includes spark arrestor mesh engineered to local fire codes.
Top-Sealing Damper Installation
Leaky cast-iron throat dampers allow conditioned household air to escape up the chimney year-round. We install silicone-gasketed top dampers that lock tightly at the flue exit via an easy hearth cable.

Documented Safety Sign-Off
We lay three layers of heavy-duty canvas drop cloths from your front entry to the hearth, sealing the firebox opening with static-cling containment plastic before unpacking equipment.
Continuous HEPA negative air pressure runs during mechanical brush sweeps, pulling every trace of dislodged carbon dust directly into sealed filter drums.
Our technician guides an infrared-assisted camera upward through every liner joint, recording high-definition video of the smoke chamber, damper plate, and flue walls.
You receive an itemized digital inspection report with camera stills, clearance measurements, and honest maintenance recommendations with zero phantom upsells.
