Frequently asked questions

How much does chimney cleaning cost?
Chimney cleaning starts at $200. The final price depends on the number of flues, how much buildup there is and how easy the chimney is to reach. You get the price before we start.
How often should I clean my chimney?
At least once a year, ideally before heating season. If you burn wood often, you may need it more than once a season.
Why does my chimney smell in summer?
Humid air mixes with creosote and soot in the flue. A professional cleaning, and a damper that seals, usually fixes it.
Do I need a chimney cap?
Yes. A cap keeps rain, animals and debris out of the flue and stops embers from escaping. It is one of the cheapest ways to prevent bigger repairs.
Can you fix a leaking chimney?
Yes. Most chimney leaks come from the crown, the cap or the flashing. We find the source, show you photos and fix the cause, not just the stain.
Do you inspect chimneys?
Yes. We do Level 1 inspections for chimneys in regular use and Level 2 inspections for home sales, new appliances or after a chimney fire.
