Chimney Inspection and Sweep Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we protect your home. Drop cloths go down, furniture gets covered, and our equipment gets set up properly. No shortcuts here because nobody wants soot on their couch.

Next comes the inspection. We check your chimney from top to bottom – flue condition, damper operation, crown integrity, and any signs of damage or wear. You’ll know exactly what we find because we explain everything in plain English.

Then we clean. Professional brushes and vacuum systems remove creosote, debris, and anything else that shouldn’t be in there. We clean from both the top and bottom to make sure we get everything. When we’re done, we clean up completely and walk you through what we found and what you need to know going forward.

We bring professional-grade equipment designed specifically for chimney cleaning. Our vacuum systems contain the mess, and our brushes are sized correctly for your specific flue. No guesswork, no improvised tools.

Brooklyn’s older homes often have unique chimney configurations. We’ve seen it all – from original brownstone setups to modern inserts in historic fireplaces. Whatever your situation, we have the experience to handle it safely and thoroughly.

How often should I have my chimney swept and inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and cleaning whenever there’s 1/8 inch of creosote buildup. If you use your fireplace regularly – more than a few times per month during winter – you’ll likely need cleaning every year. Light users might go longer, but the annual inspection is still important because it catches problems before they become dangerous or expensive. Weather, animals, and general wear can create issues even in chimneys that aren’t used frequently.

What's the difference between cleaning and inspection?

Cleaning removes creosote, debris, and obstructions from your chimney flue. Inspection examines the entire chimney system for damage, wear, or safety issues. We always do both together because you can’t properly inspect a dirty chimney, and cleaning without inspection misses potential problems. The inspection covers your flue liner, damper, chimney crown, cap, and visible portions of the structure. Cleaning focuses on removing buildup that creates fire hazards and blocks proper airflow.

How much mess will this make in my house?

None, if we do our job right. We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and professional vacuum systems specifically designed for chimney work. Our equipment contains the soot and debris – it doesn’t blow around your house like a regular shop vacuum would. We also clean from the top down when possible, which keeps most of the mess outside. Before we leave, we vacuum and clean the work area. You shouldn’t find soot or debris anywhere in your home after we’re finished.

Can you clean my chimney if I have a gas fireplace?

Yes, gas fireplaces still need regular chimney maintenance. While they don’t create creosote like wood-burning fireplaces, they can develop other issues. Birds, animals, or debris can block the flue. The venting system can develop problems that affect safety and efficiency. Corrosion from gas combustion byproducts is also a concern over time. We inspect the entire system, clean out any obstructions, and make sure everything is venting properly. Gas systems often need different maintenance than wood-burning ones, so it’s important to work with someone who understands both.

What if you find problems during the inspection?

We’ll explain exactly what we found and what it means for your safety and wallet. Some issues need immediate attention – like damaged flue liners or blocked vents. Others can wait but should be addressed before next season. We give you honest recommendations without pressure tactics. You’ll get a written report that you can review and use to make informed decisions. If repairs are needed, we can handle them or you can hire someone else – we’re not trying to trap you into additional services.

Do you work on weekends or have flexible scheduling?

Yes, we understand that most people work during the week and can’t always take time off for home maintenance. We offer weekend appointments and try to work around your schedule whenever possible. Chimney work doesn’t have to disrupt your entire day – most cleanings and inspections take a few hours at most. We’ll give you a realistic time window and stick to it. If you need service during busy season (fall and early winter), booking ahead helps ensure you get the timing that works best for you.
