Hearth & Safety FAQ

How often should a chimney be swept?

What is a video flue inspection?

We run a specialized camera up your flue to document hidden masonry cracks, loose joints, and internal blockages that standard sweeps miss.

The NFPA recommends an annual inspection of all chimneys, fireplaces, and vents. Sweeping is required when creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch.

Do you repair historic masonry?

Will the cleaning leave soot in my home?

Yes. We specialize in historic chimney restoration, including tuckpointing, crown rebuilds, and structural masonry stabilization.

No. We guarantee a soot-free process. We use specialized drop cloths, high-vacuum HEPA filtration, and sealed entry points to protect your living space.
