Chimney Cleaning & Sweep

Before you light that first fire, get it swept and looked at. Creosote builds up with every burn, quietly — and it's the leading cause of chimney fires.

Booking a chimney cleaning? A sweep and a quick inspection before the season does two things: it clears out the creosote, and it catches the small problems while they're still cheap to fix. You get the price up front, and you only pay if you book.

Which fix fits your situation?

If you use it regularly, an annual sweep is enough — same-day and low-cost.

If it has been years or you just bought the home, add a Level 2 inspection; the trade-off is a little more now versus burning on an unknown flue.

If you only want a price, we give it on site after the free inspection, no obligation.

Not sure? Text a photo and a tech will point you the right way before any truck rolls.

What we handle

An annual sweep matters when you burn regularly; a Level 2 inspection matters when the home is newly bought or the flue history is unknown.

What homeowners say

“The tech called before he came, showed me photos of the cracked crown right on his phone, and gave me the price on the spot. No pressure, no upsell. Honestly refreshing.”
— Dana M., New Haven, CT
“Our cap blew off in a storm and they were out the next morning. Clean, on time, and a good bit cheaper than the first quote I got. They left zero mess.”
— Robert P., Minneapolis, MN
“I'd been putting the chimney off for two winters. One free inspection and I finally knew what I was actually dealing with. Booked it before they left.”
— Allie T., Richmond, VA
