Professional chimney cleaning and inspection that keeps your family protected and your home compliant.
You get to use your fireplace without wondering if tonight’s the night something goes wrong. No more worrying about creosote buildup or carbon monoxide seeping into your living room while your family sleeps.
Your chimney works the way it should. Smoke goes up and out, not back into your home. Your fireplace draws properly, burns efficiently, and gives you that warmth and ambiance you bought this place for.
You stay compliant with NYC fire codes and keep your insurance coverage intact. Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing a certified professional has inspected every inch of your chimney system and given you the real story about what’s happening inside those walls.
We’ve been cleaning and inspecting chimneys throughout the Upper West Side for years. Our team understands the unique challenges of Manhattan’s older buildings, from pre-war brownstones to converted condos with shared flue systems.
Every technician is certified and trained specifically in NYC building codes and fire safety requirements. We know what insurance companies expect to see in inspection reports and what the fire department looks for during compliance checks.
We’ve built our reputation on thorough work and straight answers. When we find problems, we explain exactly what needs attention and what can wait.
First, we cover your floors and furniture, then set up professional-grade equipment designed to contain dust and debris. No mess in your home.
Next comes a complete visual inspection of your chimney system, from firebox to crown. We check for cracks, blockages, creosote buildup, and structural issues. You get photos of anything that needs attention.
Then the actual cleaning begins. Using specialized brushes and vacuum systems, we remove all creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney flue. The process is thorough but contained – you won’t find black dust on your furniture afterward.
Finally, you receive a detailed report with photos, recommendations, and compliance documentation for your insurance company. If minor repairs are needed, we can often handle them the same day.
