Common questions

Common questions

What is covered in an inspection?

We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and provide you with a written report and photographs.

Do you service wood stoves as well?

Yes — we give wood and pellet stoves a complete cleaning and safety inspection, from the stovepipe through the baffle down to the door gasket.

What do you do to protect my home while you work?

We spread drop cloths from the entryway to the hearth, put on shoe covers, seal off the firebox, and keep a HEPA vacuum running throughout the job.

How much time does an appointment take?

A typical sweep runs about an hour. Adding a camera-based inspection extends it by another 30 to 45 minutes.

How frequently should a chimney be swept?

Once a year for most households that burn wood on a regular basis. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice dark flakes in the firebox, schedule a sweep earlier.
