We Do A Full Chimney System Inspection Before Every Sweep
Before we sweep your chimney system, we do a comprehensive check to make sure it is healthy & suitable for use. As long as everything looks right, we sweep it clean during that same visit.
Inspect the full chimney system before sweeping
Look for buildup, blockages, damage, or usability concerns
Sweep during the same visit if the chimney is suitable for use
Sweeps Clean The Chimney. Inspections Make Sure It's Usable.
Without an annual inspection, hidden chimney issues can go unnoticed. These issues can be dangerous, exposing you to fire risk, smoke entering the home, and more.
Hardened Buildup Inside The Flue
Over time, excessive creosote buildup can harden into something a standard sweep cannot clean.
Excessive Creosote
Excessive creosote buildup can become a fire hazard, restrict airflow, & deteriorate the lining of the chimney if not removed.
Hidden Blockages Inside The Chimney
Nests, debris, or other obstructions can affect your system's venting and increase fire risks.
Request Your Inspection-First Chimney Sweep (Starting At $249)

Frequently Asked Questions: Chimney Sweeps
What you need to know about our sweep and inspection process.
Unfortunately, no. Even when you don't use your chimney, safety issues can develop that impact whether it's suitable for use. We don't just take your money and sweep the chimney — we make sure every one of our customers has a chimney system we'd be comfortable using in our own homes.
We inspect the chimney system inside and out, from bottom to top. That includes the flue, firebox, smoke chamber, damper, cap, crown, masonry, venting path, and any visible damage or buildup. A full look at the system helps us understand your home, explain what we find, and make accurate recommendations if repairs are needed.
We'll explain what we found and what needs to happen next. If sweeping makes sense, we'll do it; if the chimney needs repair, relining, or other work first, we'll tell you before taking that step.
A typical inspection and sweep visit is about 1.5 hours on site, though the exact timing depends on the chimney.
Yes. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections regardless of how frequently you use your chimney. Light use can still leave buildup, and hidden blockages can form even if you never burn.
