From the family

A family craft, not a corporate chain

Dear neighbor,

My grandfather began sweeping chimneys in Philadelphia with a pickup, a set of rods, and a commitment to leave every hearth better than he found it. That is still how we operate.

When you reach out, you talk to our family, not an answering service, and the technician who knocks on your door is someone we prepared ourselves. Our reputation rides on every job.

Common questions

Common questions

What is covered in an inspection?

We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and hand you a written report with photographs.

When is the best time to schedule before the cold months?

Late summer or early fall works best. Our calendar fills up fast after the first chilly evening, so getting on the books by September keeps you ahead.

Can you service wood stoves as well?

Absolutely — wood and pellet stoves receive a complete cleaning and safety review, from the stovepipe to the baffle and door seal.

What steps do you take to protect my home?

We spread drop cloths from the door to the hearth, put on shoe covers, seal off the fireplace opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum going throughout the visit.

How frequently should a chimney be swept?

Once a year for most households that burn wood on a regular basis. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice dark flakes in the firebox, schedule a sweep earlier.
