Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning

Chimney Inspection

Loose mortar, flaking brick, or debris dropping into the firebox are signs to have the chimney evaluated. Available repair work is confirmed for each situation.
More on chimney repair →Chimney Cap Installation & Replacement
A missing, rusted, or loose cap leaves the flue open to rain, leaves, and animals. Ask about installing or replacing a cap that fits your flue.

Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney or dampness in the firebox after storms point to intrusion. Finding the source comes before any fix.

We just moved in. How should we handle an unknown fireplace history?
Without records, it is hard to know when the flue was last cleaned or checked. Arrange an inspection before using the fireplace, then discuss cleaning if deposits are found.
“The fireplace smells, even when we're not using it.”
A campfire-like odor in damp or warm weather is often linked to creosote deposits in the flue, sometimes made worse by air pulling down the chimney.
“There's a stain on the ceiling next to the chimney.”
Stains near the chimney after heavy rain suggest water is getting in somewhere — the cap, the top of the chimney, or where it meets the roof are common suspects.
“We hear animals or see debris in the firebox.”
Nests, leaves, and twigs usually mean the top of the flue is open. Removing the blockage and covering the opening are separate steps worth discussing.
Buying or Moving Into a Home With a Fireplace
A fireplace that came with the house is an unknown until someone looks at it. Previous owners may have burned regularly, rarely, or not at all, and the flue can hold years of buildup — or a nest — that is invisible from the room.
Before the first fire, it is reasonable to have the chimney inspected so you know its visible condition, then cleaned if buildup is present. Keep a note of the date and what was done; that record makes future decisions much easier.
