From the ownerSince 2020

A family operation, not a franchise.

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

When you call, you speak with our family, not a dispatcher, and the technician who shows up at your door is someone we trained on our own crew. Our name goes on every job.

— Roland

FAQ

Five questions we get the most

Something else? Call (267) 327-3941.

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.

How early should I schedule before winter?

Late summer or early fall is best. Our schedule fills up fast after the first cold snap, so booking by September keeps you ahead.

How do you keep my house clean while you work?

We spread drop cloths from the front door to the hearth, wear shoe covers, seal off the fireplace opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum going the entire time.

Do you service wood stoves as well?

We do — wood and pellet stoves get a complete cleaning and safety review, from the stovepipe down to the baffle and door gasket.

How long does a typical visit last?

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

Clean the flue before you strike the match.
