Chimney Sweeps in Scranton, PA

1 chimney sweep company serves Scranton, Pennsylvania, averaging 4.6 stars across their Google reviews.

Scranton sits in the cold-climate tier: long heating seasons push creosote to build faster, so most local operators recommend scheduling a sweep every year, ideally between August and October. Booking a few weeks ahead of the first sustained cold nights avoids the November rush when every sweep in PA is fully booked.

A standard single-flue sweep in Pennsylvania typically runs $175-$275 from a legitimate operator. Any quote under $125 in the Scranton area almost always signals a bait-and-switch — the crew arrives, "discovers" a repair, and the invoice balloons to the $900-$1,400 range documented in our scam-patterns guide. A full Level 2 camera inspection (required after a chimney fire or before a home purchase) runs $300-$450.

The U.S. Fire Administration attributes roughly 22,300 residential fires per year to failure to clean chimneys — making it the single largest cause of home heating fires and the reason NFPA 211 codifies annual inspection as the baseline standard of care.
