Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a chimney be swept?
Most experts recommend an annual inspection and sweep for chimneys used regularly, or after every cord of wood burned.
What is creosote and why does it matter for pricing?
Creosote is a flammable byproduct of burning wood that builds up inside chimney flues. Heavier buildup takes longer to remove safely and increases labor cost.
What's the difference between inspection levels?
Level 1 is a basic visual check, Level 2 uses a camera to examine the full flue (often required after a home sale), and Level 3 involves removing components to inspect hidden structural areas.
