Chimney sweep and inspection questions
Answers about sweeping schedules, inspections and what happens during a visit.
Common questions
How often should my chimney be swept
Most homes need a sweep once a year, especially before the heating season starts. Homes that burn wood often benefit from more frequent visits.
What does a chimney inspection cover
We check the flue, liner, damper and crown for cracks, blockages and creosote buildup, then let you know if any repairs are needed.
How long does a sweep or inspection take
A standard sweep or inspection usually takes under an hour, depending on the chimney and how much soot has built up.
Is the sweeping process messy
We use drop cloths and vacuum equipment to keep soot contained, so your home stays clean during and after the visit.
Do you inspect the exterior too
Yes, we look at the crown, cap and visible masonry from the roof as part of a full inspection.
Can I book online
Yes, you can pick a time that works for you through our online booking page.
