"Cory did an excellent job on my firebox and chimney top. It was discovered I need some work on the chimney liner but he focused on the job at hand and gave me an estimate for the liner later rather than pushing it on the spot. Will go with Shamrock again for the liner and routine chimney sweeps and waterproofing."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

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.

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

Smoke damage will not go away on its own, but with professional remediation and restoration, you can return your home to its original condition after a fire. Trained smoke restoration professionals can eliminate smoke damage, which can affect areas of your home that are hard to see or access, and restore or replace smoke-damaged materials.

DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.

Yes, most insurance plans cover acts of nature. In policy documents, this also may be called “Acts of God” or “natural disasters.” However, not all acts of nature are covered by your policy, and the extent to which they’re covered depends on your specific contract. Check your policy documents to understand your coverage limits and exclusions.
