Chimney Sweeping
Our most popular service includes a 34-point inspection and thorough cleaning of wood or gas fireplace chimneys. Using industrial vacuums with HEPA filters and specialized brushes, we remove debris without leaving mess. A visual inspection of exterior mortar and brickwork is conducted, with damage documented via photos or video. Clients receive a detailed PDF report for their records.
Chimney Repair
We address structural issues in brick, mortar, or flue systems caused by weather exposure. Services include smoke chamber parging, damper adjustments, and complete chimney rebuilding. Certified technicians identify hazards like creosote buildup or water damage, ensuring safe operation. All repairs follow industry safety standards for long-term durability.
