About Us

36 years experience
In the fall of 1978 I cleaned my first fireplace, What a mess. Then in 79' I had a chimney fire in my wood stove flue,
which led me to trying to learn all I could about wood burning and chimney maintenance.
My research led me to taking the training and the purchasing of PROFESSIONAL chimney cleaning equipment (not a cheap shop vac).
I began my business as "Ye Olde Chimney Sweep" in 1980.

I was one of the first 500 sweeps in the United States
and the first chimney sweep in Monroe County, Indiana. Sweeping is my only business, we don't have any other side lines. I am committed to
continually updating my education in the wood heating industry, to make sure your system is safe and up to code and in good condition.
