Every home is unique as is every chimney and flue system.

We make every effort to keep your home as clean as possible while sweeping. A standard chimney cleaning includes a state of the art chimney video inspection. This first step is important to determine if any repairs need to be completed as well as exactly how much creosote is in the chimney. We will do a thorough removal of the flaky creosote deposits from the fireplace system (the chimney flue, smoke chamber and firebox). We also will utilize special rods, chimney brushes, and hand brushes. A HEPA soot vacuum can be used to remove ash particles from your fireplace. This vacuum is specially designed for chimney cleaning.

A Level II Inspection is of vital importance if your home has experienced ANY changes to the system. This could be a traumatic weather event like a tornado, earthquake or hurricane. Another need for this type of inspection is if you have experienced a fire in the chimney or flue. Also when buying a new home or selling a home. This inspection comprises everything as in the Level I inspection in addition to areas of the attic, basement or crawl spaces. It will also properly address clearances from combustibles in these accessible locations.

Various factors go into maintaining the overall health of your fireplace. We know about hazards like residue and creosote, but there is also another nuisance. Animal pests that sometimes will find a way into a chimney. Birds, squirrels, bats, even raccoons will often make nests in the chimney. One of the most common reasons animals get into your chimney is due to not having a chimney cap or one that is damaged. The absolute best way to protect your chimney, fireplace and home is to have a chimney cap installed with attached wire netting.
