The cleaning pulls combustible deposits out of the flue, smoke chamber and firebox. Meanwhile, the inspection decides whether the chimney is safe to keep using, and NFPA&#8217;s own committee draft of the chimney inspection chapter is blunt about it: the check must confirm the flue is &#8220;free of combustible deposits and blockage or obstruction,&#8221; and inspections &#8220;shall be conducted by a qualified agency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Because of that pairing, a chimney sweep cost is one flat number, not an hourly rate. Chimney repair, if the inspection turns something up, is priced separately.<\/p>\n<h2>Two published price lists<\/h2>\n<p>Both post these figures publicly. Captured August 29, 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sw__table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"sw__table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Service, as the company names it<\/th>\n<th>Chimney Monkey, Chicago IL<\/th>\n<th>Chimney Savers, Vermont<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Sweep with inspection included<\/td>\n<td>$335, flue, smoke chamber, firebox, Level 1 included<\/td>\n<td>$359 first flue, sweep if needed plus camera scan, 30 point inspection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Camera assisted inspection<\/td>\n<td>$295, Level 2, camera survey of the flue<\/td>\n<td>$359, sweep with internal camera scan, stated to satisfy Level 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inspection, no cleaning<\/td>\n<td>$205, visual with photographs<\/td>\n<td>not published<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Each additional flue, same visit<\/td>\n<td>not published<\/td>\n<td>$259<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Emergency or out of area<\/td>\n<td>not published<\/td>\n<td>$100 minimum added to the service price<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Level 3 inspection<\/td>\n<td>not published<\/td>\n<td>not published<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sw__inline-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/a> turns a photo into an itemized, branded estimate in about 6 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the market is thin. For instance, the $205 and $259 rows each rest on one company. However, both sides agree on the sweep with an inspection, $335 to $359.<\/p>\n<h2>Why a chimney sweep cost is so hard to find<\/h2>\n<p>Indeed, that gap is the finding. Of sixteen chimney surfaces we pulled, only two carry service dollars. Additionally, eight more serve a live page with no price, and six are dead links, a stub, or a domain parked for sale. One keeps a pricing URL live with no number inside it.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, CSIA tells homeowners that &#8220;prices vary from region to region&#8221; and that &#8220;you should expect a charge for the services rendered.&#8221; So when a result hands you a tidy national chimney sweep cost range, ask which company published it. Usually none did.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sw__promo\">\n<h2>Publish your own number instead<\/h2>\n<p>In short, the winners of this search put a flat rate on a page. So to join them, you need your own cost per visit. SimplyWise Cost Estimator turns a photo into an itemized, branded estimate in about 6 seconds, with a unit, quantity and price on every line. Pricing is $29.99\/mo or $239.99\/yr, about $20\/mo on annual, with a 7-day free trial.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sw__btn\" href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/a><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<h2>The three inspection levels, and which one you are paying for<\/h2>\n<p>As a rule, invoice level numbers come from NFPA 211. Because the standard is paywalled, the definitions below are quoted from the committee draft of Chapter 15 on NFPA&#8217;s own document server.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"sw__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Level I, bundled with a sweep<\/h3>\n<p>Used &#8220;when verification of the suitability of the chimney or flue for continued service, under the same conditions and with the same or similar appliance or appliances, is needed.&#8221; It covers readily accessible parts of the chimney, appliance and connection, and rides along with a routine cleaning.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Level II, triggered by a sale<\/h3>\n<p>Indicated &#8220;when verification of the suitability of the chimney for new or changed conditions of service is needed or when a Level I inspection is not sufficient.&#8221; Named circumstances include sale of the property and any chimney fire or weather event likely to have caused damage. Scope reaches accessible attics, crawl spaces and basements, with &#8220;image scanning equipment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Level III, nobody prices it<\/h3>\n<p>Reserved &#8220;for concealed areas,&#8221; and required only where a problem &#8220;cannot be properly evaluated by a Level I or Level II inspection.&#8221; Getting there can mean &#8220;removal or destruction of permanently attached portions of the chimney.&#8221; Anyone quoting a flat Level 3 number is guessing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>How often to book one<\/h3>\n<p>Above all, the USFA asks homeowners to &#8220;maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected each year by a professional.&#8221; Behind that line: 27,900 residential heating fires in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What federal wage data says about the labor<\/h2>\n<p>Surprisingly little, and worth knowing before arguing a quote. The May 2025 federal wage survey publishes 830 detailed occupations and not one is a chimney sweep, so our trade wage table has no chimney row either. The closest published occupation is 47-4090, Miscellaneous Construction and Related Workers, at $26.51 mean hourly. Masonry sits higher at $32.83, inspectors at $37.37. A flat rate near $350 buys a visit, a truck, cameras, insurance and a technician paid inside that spread.
