"Steve was fantastic! We brough in paramount to provide a quote for removing and replacing an old cast iron dampener. We had another company come out and provide us a quote on a basic chimney sweep and they recommended we replace the dampener (which was expensive) because they could not get the dampener open to clean the chimney. When Steve from Paramount came out to provide the quote, he informed us we would not necessarily need the new dampener, opened the existing one and cleaned the chimney. We just had our first fire last week (this is our new home)! Thank you Paramount and thank you Steve, we will be back!"

"Wilder Chimney did an awesome job in cleaning, grinding and repointing the top courses of my chimney, lined the flue with a stainless steel rain cap, waterproofing chimney and installing a rain cap. He was very professional, prompt, and explained in detail what needed to be done. He was friendly and very easy to deal with. I would highly recommend him!!"

"I asked for a chimney sweep and to put our cap back on. He came within one day and got it done at a very reasonable price. He also gave me recommendations on other work that needs to be done and an estimate of the price. Very satisfied and will use his service in the future."

"Living on Cape Cod & the islands limits us with options. I tried to get quotes from local vendors but was told my chimney is to large for their capabilities. Kings Masknary can by for an estimate and was able to diagnose the issues and put a plan in to fix it immediately. I was impressed that they worked thru a weekend in the cold to fix my problem. They did exactly what they said they would do and guaranteed their work for 20 years. What more could you ask for. Was great working with them and would call them again but now . What a great feeling to know that if there is an issue, they will stand by their work."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.

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. 

After a house fire, you should not reenter your home unless the fire crew has told you it’s safe to do so. In the longer term, you should not attempt to make repairs to the house on your own. Professional crews are trained to clean up after a fire (including smoke and soot damage), dry out any water damage from the firefighter crews, and make the necessary structural, plumbing, and electrical repairs—and this is all likely covered by insurance.

If untreated, smoke damage is definitely toxic. Carbon and tar are two types of toxic chemicals in smoke that can damage your lungs and other parts of your body if you breathe them in for long periods of time. If you still smell smoke after the fire, it’s important that you call your restoration team for support.

Luckily, you can typically eliminate your microwave’s burnt smell within a few hours for most situations. Be sure to let it air out for two to three hours after cleaning to let the odor evacuate your home—if you close your home up too early, the odor will be trapped. For stronger, more stubborn burnt smells, it might take a full day or more to really notice a difference.
