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 Lauderhill, FL
Ashby Chimney Fort Lauderdale is a full-service chimney company serving Lauderhill, FL. Most homes here were built between the 1960s and 1980s, and the original prefabricated metal chimneys on those houses are now 40 to 60 years old. South Florida’s heat, humidity, and salt air work on those metal flues year-round, which means Lauderhill chimney work is often less about creosote and more about rust, corrosion, and keeping a fire you light in December from becoming a problem. Call us at (754) 354-1451 for a straight answer about your chimney.
Why Lauderhill Homes Are Different
Lauderhill’s housing stock is mostly single-family ranchers and low-rise condos built from the 1960s through the 1980s. A lot of those homes went up with prefabricated metal chimneys rather than masonry, and after decades of subtropical exposure, those metal components corrode in ways you don’t see in drier parts of the country. We regularly find rusted chase covers, pitted flue liners, and flashing that has pulled away from the roofline on Lauderhill homes that haven’t had a chimney looked at in years.
The climate matters here more than most homeowners realize. Heavy summer rains and the occasional hurricane drive water into any small gap in the chimney system, and the humidity never really lets things dry out. Then December arrives, the first cold front comes through, and people light a fire for the first time in eight months without knowing what’s been sitting in the flue since spring. That’s when we get the calls. Local fire codes require regular chimney inspections for good reason, and in Lauderhill the inspection is often the first and most important step before any cleaning or repair makes sense.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lauderhill Services
Lauderhill homeowners call us most often for two things: a sweep before the first fire of the season, and an inspection when they’re buying a home or haven’t used the fireplace in years. This is the overview; each service has its own Lauderhill page with the pricing detail and exactly what the job involves.
Chimney Sweep in Lauderhill
A proper chimney sweep on a Lauderhill home means removing more than soot. We clean creosote where it has built up, but we also clear out the leaves, twigs, and nesting material that South Florida’s rainy season pushes into seldom-used flues. After the first December cold front, we stay busy pulling animal nests out of chimneys on homes across Broward County. Read the full write-up on our Chimney Sweep in Lauderhill page, including what we charge and how long the job takes.
Chimney Inspection in Lauderhill
In Lauderhill, an inspection is the best money you can spend before lighting a fire in a chimney you haven’t used since spring. We check the flue liner, the chase cover, the flashing, and the firebox, and we show you photos of anything that needs attention before you spend a dollar on repairs. No one should be asked to approve a repair they can’t see. Details on what we look at and what an inspection costs are on the Chimney Inspection in Lauderhill page.
Fireplace Repair in Lauderhill
When a chimney on a 1970s Lauderhill rancher has rusted through at the chase top or the flue tiles have started spalling, the repair has to stand up to humidity, salt air, and occasional hurricane-force wind. We come across those conditions regularly and repair what’s actually broken rather than upselling a full rebuild. Our written guarantee covers what we fix, and we use materials from brands like Copperfield and Olympia Chimney, not whatever the supply house had on the shelf. See the Fireplace Repair in Lauderhill page for common repairs and what they run.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Lauderhill
Most routine chimney sweeps and inspections do not require a permit. For larger repairs, like a flue liner replacement or a partial rebuild, Lauderhill may require a permit depending on the scope. A qualified contractor will pull the right paperwork and tell you upfront. We handle permit questions as part of the written quote.
We book most Lauderhill sweeps and inspections within a few days of your call. If you’re calling during the December rush or right after storm season, scheduling tightens up, so calling a week or two early helps. For exact availability at your address, call (754) 354-1451.
Do not light a fire until the flue has been checked. In Lauderhill, a flue that has sat unused through two rainy seasons often has debris, animals, or rust in it. We recommend starting with a Level 1 inspection before the first fire of the season. Call us at (754) 354-1451 to get on the schedule for a free estimate.

What Lauderhill Customers Say
"First time owning a house with a fireplace and I had no clue. The guy was patient, walked me through what's safe and what isn't, and didn't make me feel dumb. Priced it before he started."
- Yolanda Reese"Booked a sweep and inspection before winter. On time, polite, and he taped off the area so there wasn't a speck of soot anywhere after. Told me exactly what the guarantee covered."
- Rachel Montoya"The amount of creosote they pulled out was scary. He said we were overdue and explained the fire risk without being dramatic about it. Clean, careful, left the hearth spotless."
