I am very satisfied with the results of the work that McBriens Fire And Flue did. This project was not an easy task but the guys were able to get the job done quickly and the chimney looks great. Very happy with the results!!!

Dominick did a great job. Cleaned the chimney, woodstove and pipes. He uses a HEPA vacuum so there is no dust or smell. He did find a dead bluebird 🙁, but I’m hoping he can make a chimney cap to prevent that in the future.

"I had a great experience with Mcbriens Flue & Fire. From the initial call to the final sweep, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. They arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and left the area spotless after completing the job. It’s not easy to find companies that take this much pride in their work, but they really exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend them for anyone needing chimney cleaning, inspection, or repairs!"

"I had them do a cleaning and inspection of my chimney and they found damages to the brickwork and the top of the chimney. They installed a new cap and their cost was so reasonable. All their work is guaranteed as well, which is reassuring. They were clean, efficient and courteous. I would highly recommend Handy Andy and in fact they are doing an estimate for my neighbor to whom I recommended them to."

"Our chimney needed to be raised and brought up to current code, and the solution was handled the right way from start to finish. The chimney was lifted to the proper height and securely strapped to meet structural and safety requirements. Everything was measured, reinforced, and stabilized so it’s not just compliant, but solid moving forward. The work was well planned, clearly explained, and executed with attention to both function and appearance. It’s reassuring knowing the chimney now meets code and is properly supported."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on the extent of damage, material restoration, labor, and emergency service requirements.

Common issues discovered during a chimney inspection or cleaning include creosote buildup, cracked liners, structural degeneration or masonry degradation, and obstructions such as blocked flues or animal nests. These issues are potential safety hazards that can lead to combustion problems or poor air quality if not addressed.

In many cases, homeowners insurance covers smoke damage remediation, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage and the specifics of your policy. Typically, damage from a house fire, wildfire, or even a fire in a neighboring home is covered. However, damage from cigarette smoke is generally not covered.

Before filing a claim, review your policy to understand what is covered, such as restoration costs, replacement of damaged items, and temporary relocation. It's crucial to document all damage thoroughly, including to furniture and personal belongings. Contact your insurance provider promptly to start the claim process and get an evaluation before hiring professionals. Your insurer may also provide a list of approved smoke remediation companies to streamline the process.

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.
