"Chimney Sweeps Inc. comes out to my home every year for an inspection and cleaning when needed. I live in an older apartment and annual inspections put me at ease that my fireplace is always safe to use. Their technicians are always very polite, professional and have a lot of knowledge. I also love that they are a family-owned business, and I am supporting a local company."

"I recently hired Chimney Sweep Masters to replace our old, rusty fireplace, which was deemed unsafe by multiple inspectors due to its age and condition. Our fireplace issues began last winter when we discovered a leak from what we later identified as a Chase Cover. After deciding to replace the fireplace, we chose Chimney Sweep Masters for the job, and we couldnâ t be happier with the outcome. The entire process was seamless. The office staff and the installation team were excellent, guiding us through various options and allowing us ample time to make the best choice. The new stone façade and gorgeous mantle have transformed the fireplace, and we absolutely love the results. Overall, it was a five-star experience."

Chimney Sweep FAQs, answered by experts

It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.

The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that’s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.

Neglecting to clean your chimney can lead to serious safety hazards. A primary risk is the buildup of creosote, a highly flammable substance that can ignite and cause a dangerous chimney fire. This buildup can also create blockages in the flue, resulting in poor venting of smoke, soot, and toxic gases like carbon monoxide, which can then enter your home and create dangerously poor indoor air quality. Additionally, creosote is acidic and can damage the chimney's mortar and metal components over time, potentially allowing smoke to leak into your house. To prevent these issues, it is essential to schedule an annual chimney cleaning with a professional.

In most cases, yes, a fire-damaged house can be repaired. The only exception would be if a house fire leads to major structural damage. In that case, it might be faster and more affordable to knock down the house and start from scratch. In most cases, though, repairs are possible with help from a professional.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.
