Chimney Inspection and Cleaning Process

Here's How We Handle Your Chimney

We start with a complete visual inspection of your chimney system, inside and out. We’re looking for structural issues, creosote buildup, blockages, and anything that could affect safety or performance.

Next comes the cleaning. We use professional equipment to remove creosote, soot, and debris from your flue and firebox. Everything gets covered and protected so your home stays clean throughout the process.

Before we leave, you get a detailed report of what we found and what we did. If we spotted any issues that need attention, we’ll explain your options and help you prioritize what matters most for your safety and budget.

Everything Your Chimney System Needs

Our chimney services cover the full spectrum of what homeowners in Lakeview need. We handle annual cleanings that remove dangerous creosote buildup, comprehensive inspections that catch problems early, and repairs that fix issues before they become expensive emergencies.

We also take care of chimney cap installation, damper repairs, and flue liner work. If animals have made themselves at home in your chimney, we’ll remove them safely and install barriers to prevent future intrusions.

Every job includes a thorough cleanup and a written report. You’ll know exactly what condition your chimney is in and what, if anything, needs attention down the road. No guesswork, no surprises.

How often should I have my chimney cleaned and inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, with cleaning based on usage. If you burn wood regularly, you’ll likely need cleaning every year due to creosote buildup. Gas fireplaces need less frequent cleaning but should still be inspected annually for proper ventilation and to check for animal intrusion or structural issues. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, annual inspections catch problems like damaged flue liners or deteriorating mortar before they become safety hazards or expensive repairs.
Call us right away if you notice white staining on the outside of your chimney, which indicates water damage. Smoke entering your room instead of going up the flue is another red flag, as is a strong odor coming from your fireplace when it’s not in use. Rust on your damper or firebox, animals or birds in the chimney, and damaged chimney crown or cap all need prompt attention. If you hear sounds like scratching or chirping, animals may have nested inside. These issues can quickly escalate into safety hazards or costly structural damage.
Basic chimney cleaning and inspection typically ranges from $200 to $400, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. Factors that affect pricing include the height of your chimney, amount of creosote buildup, and whether any repairs are needed during the service. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Additional services like chimney cap installation or minor repairs are quoted separately. We never surprise you with hidden fees or pressure you into unnecessary services.
Level 1 inspections are basic visual checks suitable for chimneys with no known issues and regular use patterns. Level 2 inspections include video scanning of the flue interior and are required when selling a home, after chimney fires, 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, with Level 2 recommended if you’re experiencing problems or haven’t had service in several years. We’ll recommend the appropriate level based on your specific situation.
Yes, gas fireplaces still need regular cleaning and inspection, though less frequently than wood-burning systems. Gas burns cleaner than wood, but debris, spider webs, and animal nests can still block your flue. We check the gas connections, inspect the flue liner for damage, and ensure proper ventilation. Even small blockages in gas fireplace flues can cause dangerous carbon monoxide buildup in your home. We also inspect the glass doors, clean the firebox, and check that all safety features are working properly.
We document everything we find and explain it in plain language, not technical jargon. You’ll get a written report with photos showing any issues, along with our recommendations for addressing them. We prioritize problems by safety risk and help you understand what needs immediate attention versus what can be planned for later. We provide clear pricing for any recommended repairs and never pressure you to do work on the spot. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your chimney’s safety and maintenance.
