"Richard Thomas and his team with Chimney Discounters is a great company! Our 35+ year old chimney was showing its age with broken bricks falling from the top. Luckily the damage hadn't gotten too bad, and Richard was able to repair the broken brick, lay a new cement crown, scrape and remove algae build up, placed a new rain/animal guard, and sprayed the chimney with water repellant. All the debris was removed from our yard and driveway when they completed the work. Richard is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with! Hopefully we won't need anymore repairs, but we know who to call if we do. We fully recommend Chimney Discounters!!"

"I've used American Professional several times at various houses I've lived in or owned. They are an honest and professional company that does good work and stands behind it. I recently got them to give me an estimate on rebuilding the top portion of a chimney that needs brickwork. They inspected the chimney, told me it was safe to use, and gave me a very reasonable estimate for the chimney rebuild, saying that it can wait until spring if I wish. From my experience, they will do everything they can to satisfy the customer, whether it's a simple chimney cleaning or custom work. This is the best chimney company in the DC area by far."

Customers say: True professional

"

The original date of service was changed due to a scheduling error by the contractor.

They were very apologetic and showed up promptly the next day. 

The work was done quickly and they kept the nearby area very clean.

After the inspection, they gave me a written estimate for work that needed to be done to keep my chimney as safe as possible.

"I believe it took a couple of days to complete. We had a mixed experience. The chimney work was mostly fine, but we had leaking through the ceiling after they did the work. They came to look at it and they said it was not due to their work, but we had other contractors look at the chimney and they said it was because of the chimney rebuild."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive, unstable gas that neutralizes odors by oxidizing the organic compounds it comes into contact with. During this oxidation process, ozone "donates" its extra oxygen molecule to the smoke particles, effectively eliminating their smell, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. While ozone can be effective for removing smoke smells from building materials and belongings like wood furniture, this treatment is best left to a professional, as improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health.

It depends. For new ovens, it’s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won’t hurt to eat it. If there’s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won’t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.

Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.
