Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we do a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system from top to bottom. This includes checking the flue, liner, cap, damper, and all the parts you can’t see that actually matter for safety and function.

You get a clear explanation of what we find, what needs attention, and what can wait. No confusing technical jargon or pressure tactics, just straightforward information about your chimney’s condition.

Any necessary cleaning, repairs, or maintenance gets scheduled at your convenience. We protect the work area, get the job done properly, and clean everything up afterward. You receive documentation of the work completed and recommendations for future maintenance.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned and inspected?

Most chimneys need cleaning once a year if you use your fireplace regularly. If you burn more than a cord of wood annually, you might need cleaning twice a year. The inspection should happen every year regardless of how often you use the fireplace, because problems can develop even when the chimney isn’t being used. Weather, animals, and general wear can cause issues that only show up during a proper inspection. Spring is usually the best time for annual maintenance since any problems discovered can be fixed before the next heating season.
White staining on the outside of your chimney means water is getting in and causing damage. Rust on the damper or firebox indicates moisture problems that need fixing. If you smell something musty or see water in the firebox after rain, your chimney cap or liner probably needs work. Smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney is a serious problem that requires immediate attention. Animals or birds in the chimney, damaged mortar joints, or a cracked chimney crown all need professional repair to prevent bigger problems.
Basic chimney cleaning and inspection usually runs between $200-400 depending on the condition and accessibility of your chimney. Minor repairs like chimney cap replacement or basic flue work typically cost $300-800. Larger repairs such as liner replacement or significant structural work can range from $1,500-5,000 depending on what’s needed. The wide range depends on your building’s specific situation, how accessible the chimney is, and what problems are discovered during inspection. Getting an accurate estimate requires seeing your specific chimney and understanding what work is actually necessary.
It’s not safe to use a fireplace without knowing the condition of your chimney system. Creosote buildup can cause chimney fires, and structural problems can allow carbon monoxide into your home. If you haven’t had service in over a year, get an inspection before using the fireplace again. If it’s been several years, definitely don’t use it until a professional checks everything. The risks of chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning are too serious to ignore. A quick inspection can tell you whether it’s safe to use and what maintenance is needed.
Yes, we handle traditional masonry chimneys, prefab metal chimneys, and gas fireplace venting systems. Each type has different maintenance requirements and potential problems. Masonry chimneys in older Koreatown buildings often need tuckpointing and liner work. Metal chimneys might need cap replacement or structural support repairs. Gas systems require different inspection procedures and safety checks. The approach changes based on your specific chimney type, age, and condition. During the initial inspection, we determine exactly what type of system you have and what services it needs.
You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, why it’s a problem, and what options you have for fixing it. For safety issues like damaged liners or structural problems, we’ll explain why the fireplace shouldn’t be used until repairs are completed. You receive a written report with photos showing the problems and recommended solutions. There’s no pressure to do expensive work immediately unless it’s truly a safety emergency. Most problems can be scheduled for repair at your convenience, and we’ll help you understand which issues are urgent and which can wait for better timing or budget planning.
