Our Chimney Service Process

Simple Process, Thorough Results Every Time

We start with a comprehensive inspection of your entire chimney system—from the firebox to the crown. This isn’t a quick glance up the flue. We examine the liner, check for structural issues, test the damper, and look for any signs of water damage or deterioration.

You get a detailed report with photos showing exactly what we found. If your chimney needs cleaning, we protect your home with drop cloths and use professional equipment to remove all creosote and debris safely. Any repairs get explained clearly before we start, with upfront pricing and no surprises.

After the work is complete, we walk you through what we did and give you practical advice for maintaining your chimney between professional services. You’ll know exactly what to watch for and when to call us back.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned and inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, but your cleaning schedule depends on how much you use your fireplace. If you burn wood regularly throughout the winter, you’ll likely need cleaning every year. Light users might go two years between cleanings. However, even if you rarely use your fireplace, you should still have it inspected annually because animals, debris, and weather can create safety hazards. During our inspection, we’ll tell you exactly when your chimney needs its next cleaning based on current conditions and your usage patterns.
Call us right away if you notice white staining on the outside of your chimney, which indicates water damage. Other urgent signs include rust on the damper or firebox, a strong odor coming from the fireplace, or animals or birds in the chimney. If you see damaged mortar joints, missing bricks, or a cracked chimney crown, these issues will only get worse with time and weather. Water leaks around the chimney base or stains on walls near the fireplace also signal problems that need immediate attention to prevent expensive structural damage.
Chimney cleaning typically costs between $200-400 for a standard residential chimney, depending on the condition and accessibility of your system. If we find issues during the inspection that require additional work, we’ll give you a clear estimate before proceeding. Factors that affect cost include the height of your chimney, how much creosote buildup we need to remove, and whether any repairs are needed. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and we’ll explain exactly what’s included in your service before we start any work.
Stop using your fireplace immediately if you notice unusual odors. These smells often indicate serious safety issues like a blocked flue, damaged liner, or creosote buildup that could cause a chimney fire. Sometimes animals or birds get trapped in the chimney, creating both odors and blockages. Water damage can also cause musty smells that signal structural problems. Don’t risk your family’s safety by using a fireplace that’s producing unusual odors. We can quickly identify the source of the problem and make the necessary repairs to get your fireplace working safely again.
A chimney cap is one of the most important and cost-effective investments you can make for your chimney system. It keeps rain, snow, animals, and debris out of your flue while still allowing smoke and gases to escape properly. Without a cap, water enters your chimney and causes expensive damage to the liner, damper, and masonry. Animals and birds can build nests that block airflow and create fire hazards. A quality chimney cap with proper screening typically costs a few hundred dollars but can save you thousands in water damage and pest-related repairs over the years.
Level 1 inspections are routine visual checks suitable for chimneys with no changes in usage or recent issues. Level 2 inspections include video scanning of the flue interior and are required when selling a home, after weather events, or when changing fuel types. Level 3 inspections involve removing parts of the chimney structure and are only needed when serious hazards are suspected. Most homeowners need Level 1 inspections annually, but we’ll recommend Level 2 if we spot potential problems that require a closer look. We’ll explain which level your chimney needs and why, so you’re never paying for more inspection than necessary.
