Dr. Sweep recognizes that homeowners do not normally look up a chimney. So, it is our job to get dirty, go up your chimney, and ensure that everything is clean, repaired, and safe. As customer safety is number one, we treat your home as if it is ours and ensure that all is safe. When we inspect a chimney and fireplace and discover a major problem, we consider this a blessing. Many homeowners actually experience chimney fires without knowing it, which is highly dangerous. We love to leave a house knowing that we just saved peoples' lives.

This is a tougher question than it sounds. The quick simple answer is: The National Fire Protection Association standard 211 says, Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary. This is the national safety standard and is the correct way to approach the problem. It takes into account the fact that even if you don't use your chimney much, animals may build nests in the flue or there may be other types of deterioration that could make the chimney unsafe to use.

At Dr. Sweep, we sweep chimneys by-hand the way it was done when chimneys were invented. We believe that newer equipment and mechanical devices actually damage chimneys, so we will clean your chimney only in effective ways that also preserve it. Dr. Sweep handles all things chimney, making them operational and safe. We provide chimney cleaning, inspections, repairs, rebuilds and installations. Chimney repair is our specialty with over 200 years of combined experience and the highest-skilled master masons in the country.

Air ducts are associated with your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system and are the pathways for heated or cooled air to travel throughout a home. Air duct cleaning is the process of removing dust and other contaminants that accumulate over time from your air ductwork. Air ducts are like the circulatory system of your home, which is why air duct cleaning is so important! Since ductwork is often located out of sight behind walls or above ceilings, maintenance like cleaning of air ducts can be easy to neglect.

Once issues go untreated for any length of time and a majority of the brick are compromised, your porch structure needs to be rebuilt. With any porch rebuild we keep the original design and try to use any existing brick you already have that are still in good condition. If needed, we can usually match your existing brick with brick from one of our masonry yards. A nice-looking porch provides strong curb appeal and a positive first impression of your home. An older, sunken-in porch with broken and cracked concrete and bricks will age a home and be dangerous to all who use it.

Customers appreciate Dr. Sweep's significant expertise with fireplaces. We handle large and small jobs, including building and installing gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Today, many homeowners desire gas logs installed within their fireplace, which Dr. Sweep busily conducts regularly. Gas logs have gained popularity as they are clean, do not require homeowners to carry wood into the home, and they look like real logs. The attractiveness of glass doors has inspired many homeowners to contact Dr. Sweep to install them in their fireplace.
