Chimney sweep in Greenwood
Chimney sweep service in Greenwood is mostly for factory-built and gas fireplaces in homes from the 1990s and 2000s. Units from the 1990s are now old enough that the gas logs, pilot and glass need a proper service, not just a wipe down.

What we see in Greenwood homes
Greenwood has about 6,000 residents. It has a small historic center and has added subdivisions steadily since the 1980s as Lee’s Summit has grown toward it.
Greenwood’s median home was built in 1995 and fewer than 7% predate 1970. Like its larger neighbor, this is mostly a town of factory-built and gas fireplaces. Homes from the 1990s are now at the age where original chase covers rust, gas log sets need their first real service, and dryer vent hoods have collected thirty years of lint.
Housing figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, 2020–2024 5-year estimates, via Census Reporter. What they mean for chimneys and vents is our own view, based on Jake’s 32 years of work in the area. Greenwood is in Jackson County, with a part in Cass County.

Questions from Greenwood homeowners
Is there a chimney sweep that comes to Greenwood, MO?
Yes. Jake And Son Chimney Sweep serves Greenwood on our regular route south of Lee's Summit, seven days a week. We provide chimney, fireplace, air duct and dryer vent service there, 7am to 9pm daily, and can combine jobs in one trip.
How long does a factory-built fireplace last?
The fireplace and its metal chimney are a matched, listed system that can last decades if kept dry. The parts that fail first are the chase cover, the refractory panels inside the firebox, and the cap. Keeping water out is what matters. A stainless steel chase cover in place of the original galvanized one is the single best upgrade.

When should gas logs from the 1990s be replaced?
When they crumble, produce soot, or no longer sit properly on the burner. Many Greenwood homes have original gas log sets that are now about 30 years old and need a full service to decide. Soot on the logs or glass, a pilot that will not stay lit, or a delayed start are the usual signs a set needs attention.
Can a flexible dryer duct inside a floor be replaced?
Yes. Flexible duct run through a floor cavity, common in 1990s homes, traps lint and can be replaced with smooth metal duct where there is access. Where the cavity cannot be opened, the existing duct can still be cleaned, but it will need cleaning more often.
