Chimney Inspection and Sweep Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system, checking for damage, blockages, and safety issues. Our technicians examine the flue, damper, crown, and exterior structure to identify any problems before they become expensive repairs.

Next comes the actual cleaning. We remove all creosote buildup, soot, and debris from your chimney flue using professional-grade equipment. Everything is contained to prevent mess in your home.

You receive a detailed report with photos showing the condition of your chimney before and after cleaning. We explain any issues we found and provide clear recommendations for repairs or maintenance. If your insurance requires documentation, you’ll have everything you need.

How often should I have my chimney swept and inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections for all homeowners who use their fireplaces. If you burn wood regularly, you should have your chimney cleaned at least once per year, sometimes more depending on usage. Even if you only use your fireplace occasionally, annual inspection is still important because animals, birds, or debris can create blockages that prevent proper ventilation. Gas fireplaces also need annual inspection to ensure proper venting and check for carbon monoxide risks.
We document everything with photos and provide you with a detailed report explaining any issues we discover. We’ll tell you which problems need immediate attention for safety reasons and which ones you can plan for later. You’re never pressured to authorize repairs on the spot. We explain your options clearly and give you time to make informed decisions. For minor issues, we can often handle repairs during the same visit if you choose. For major problems, we provide written estimates and recommendations for qualified contractors if needed.
Chimney cleaning costs typically range from $150 to $400 depending on the condition of your chimney, accessibility, and what services are needed. Straightforward cleaning and inspection for a well-maintained chimney costs less than cleaning a heavily sooted system that hasn’t been maintained. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. The small cost of regular maintenance prevents much larger expenses from emergency repairs or fire damage.
Yes, we service wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and oil heating system chimneys. Each type requires different cleaning techniques and safety checks, which is why proper training and certification matter. We have the right equipment and expertise for masonry chimneys, metal chimneys, and prefabricated systems. Whether your home has a traditional brick chimney or a modern metal flue system, we can provide the appropriate cleaning and inspection services to keep it safe and functional.
Professional chimney cleaning should not create any mess in your home when done properly. We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and professional vacuum equipment to contain all soot and debris. Most of the cleaning is done from the roof when possible, and we use specialized brushes and vacuum systems designed specifically for chimney work. We clean up completely before leaving and inspect our work area to ensure nothing was left behind. The days of soot-covered rooms from chimney cleaning are long gone with modern professional equipment and techniques.
Yes, we safely remove birds, squirrels, raccoons, and other animals that get into chimneys. We also remove nests, debris, and any damage caused by animals. After removal, we can install proper chimney caps and screens to prevent future animal entry. It’s important to have animals removed professionally because they can create serious blockages that prevent proper ventilation, leading to carbon monoxide risks. We handle animal removal humanely and ensure your chimney is properly protected against future intrusions.
