Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Chimney

First, we perform a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system. This includes checking the flue, crown, cap, damper, and exterior structure for any signs of damage or wear.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned and inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, even if you don’t use your fireplace regularly. If you burn wood frequently, cleaning may be needed more often depending on usage. Chimneys that see heavy use during winter months typically need cleaning when creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch thickness. An annual inspection catches problems early and determines if cleaning is necessary based on your actual usage patterns rather than guesswork.
White staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, and damaged chimney crown are clear warning signs. If you notice water leaks, animals or birds getting in, or strong odors coming from your fireplace, don’t wait. Cracked or missing mortar, damaged flue tiles, and a damaged chimney cap also require prompt attention. These issues typically get worse quickly and lead to expensive repairs if ignored, so it’s better to address them when they’re still manageable.
Chimney cleaning and inspection typically ranges from $200-400 depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. Minor repairs like chimney cap replacement or crown sealing usually cost $300-800. Major work like liner replacement or significant masonry repairs can range from $1,500-5,000 depending on the scope. The key is getting an honest assessment upfront so you know exactly what you’re dealing with and can prioritize the most important repairs for safety and preventing further damage.
Yes, absolutely. Even unused chimneys need protection from rain, snow, and animals. Water entering your chimney causes expensive damage to the flue liner, damper, and surrounding masonry. Animals and birds will nest in unprotected chimneys, creating blockages and potential fire hazards. A proper chimney cap with screening prevents these problems for a fraction of what you’d spend fixing water damage or removing animal nests. It’s basic protection that every chimney should have regardless of use.
Level 1 inspections are basic visual checks suitable for chimneys in regular use with no changes to the system. Level 2 inspections include video scanning of internal components and are required when selling a home, after chimney fires, or when installing new appliances. Level 3 involves removing parts of the chimney structure and is only needed when serious hazards are suspected. Most homeowners need Level 1 annually and Level 2 when buying, selling, or after any significant events that could affect chimney integrity.
While it’s technically possible, it’s not advisable for several reasons. Professional chimney cleaning involves more than just removing debris – it requires proper equipment, safety gear, and knowledge to identify potential problems. Improper cleaning can damage flue liners or miss dangerous creosote buildup. Most importantly, professionals spot structural issues, code violations, and safety hazards that untrained homeowners miss. The cost of professional cleaning is minimal compared to the potential damage from improper DIY work or missed safety issues.
