Common questions

Common questions

What do you do to protect my home during the job?

We spread drop cloths from the entryway to the hearth, put on shoe covers, seal the firebox opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum running the entire time.

Can you service wood stoves as well?

Yes — we handle wood and pellet stoves with a complete cleaning and safety inspection, from the stovepipe down to the baffle and door gasket.

How frequently should a chimney be swept?

Once a year for most households that burn wood regularly. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice black flakes in the firebox, schedule a sweep sooner.

When is the best time to book before the cold season?

Late summer or early fall. Our schedule fills up fast after the first chilly evening, so booking by September keeps you ahead.

How much time does a visit take?

A typical sweep runs about an hour. Adding a camera inspection tacks on another 30 to 45 minutes.

Before the season turns

Clean the flue before you strike the match.

One call sets the appointment, the time window, and the report.
