"I hired Valor Chimney for 2 projects. One was a dryer vent that needed to be cut through the fieldstone exterior of the house. The 2nd was relining the chimney for the heating and hot water tank. Both jobs were completed to my great satisfaction and timely. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Valor Chimney-great company to work with!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Defender Chimney, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial inspection to the completed work, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and punctual. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood the process before getting started. The quality of their work was outstanding, and they left the area spotless when they were finished. It’s refreshing to find a company that truly values customer service and takes pride in their craftsmanship. If you’re looking for reliable, honest, and skilled chimney professionals, I highly recommend Defender Chimney. I’ll definitely be using them again for future maintenance and inspections."

"I had GEM Chimney & Duct complete a full chimney cleaning and safety inspection at my home on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. They removed heavy creosote buildup, checked for blockages, and even handled some minor mortar repairs to make sure my chimney was safe and efficient. Their certified team came the same day, and it gave my family peace of mind just in time for the heating season."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

The first step in fire damage restoration is having a pro come in right away to help control moisture (if authorities used water to extinguish a fire at your home). Skipping moisture removal puts your home at risk for invasive mold and rot that can cause added property damage and health issues. Once you have the bulk of the water out, you’ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.

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.

Yes, most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage and restoration, provided the fire was not set intentionally or caused by negligence. Accidental fires, such as those from electrical issues, cooking, or gas, are typically covered. Your policy will usually cover emergency services like roof tarping, the full cost of remediation and rebuilding, and may also cover alternative housing while your home is being restored. You will be responsible for paying your policy's deductible. It is important to check your policy details to see how coverage is calculated—it may be for the full replacement cost of damaged items or the actual cash value, which accounts for depreciation. To expedite your claim, contact your insurance company immediately and have all necessary documentation ready.

DIY cleanup is not recommended due to hazardous soot, odors, and potential structural issues.

The timeline for smoke damage remediation can range from a single day to several months, depending on the extent of the damage, the size of the affected area, and the methods used. For minor damage, such as removing cigarette smoke odors from a single room, the process might take only one to two days and typically involves deep cleaning, painting, and sealing walls. Some methods, like ozone treatments, can take 24 to 48 hours, though multiple treatments may be necessary. More extensive smoke damage, such as from a house fire, can take three weeks or longer to clean and treat. If significant material restoration or replacement is needed, the timeline can extend to six to 12 months. A smoke damage restoration professional can provide a more accurate estimate for your specific situation.
