"Best chimney service in the area, hands down. They showed up on time, protected my floors, and left everything spotless. The before/after photos they provided were impressive."
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my chimney cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections. If you use your fireplace regularly (more than 50 fires per year), you should have it cleaned at least once a year. Even if you don't use it often, animals, debris, and weather can create hazards that need professional attention.
What's the difference between cleaning and inspection?
Cleaning removes soot, creosote, and blockages from your chimney. An inspection examines the structural integrity, identifies damage, and checks for safety hazards. We recommend doing both together for complete peace of mind. Most of our customers bundle these services for better value.
How long does a typical chimney sweep take?
Most standard cleanings take 60-90 minutes. This includes setup, the actual cleaning, inspection, and cleanup. More complex jobs involving repairs or heavy creosote buildup may take 2-3 hours. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we assess your chimney.
Do you offer emergency services?
Yes! We provide 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations like chimney fires, carbon monoxide concerns, or sudden blockages. Call us immediately at (708) 231-9287 if you're experiencing a chimney emergency. Safety issues always take priority.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, all major credit cards, checks, and offer financing options for larger repairs. Payment is due upon completion of service. We provide detailed invoices and can work with your insurance company if you're filing a claim.
