Q: How do you get soot off chimney bricks?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is smoke damage toxic?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s important that you call your restoration team for support. </p></div>

Q: Should carpet be replaced after a house fire or smoke damage?

• <div><p>Yes, carpets should be replaced after a house fire or significant smoke damage, even if they appear undamaged. Smoke, soot, particulates, and chemicals can penetrate deep into the carpet fibers and padding, making complete removal a complicated and time-consuming process. If water was used to extinguish the fire, it can also soak through the carpet and padding, creating a risk of mold and mildew growth. Due to these challenges and potential health risks, replacing the carpet is the safest and most effective solution.</p></div>

Q: Do services include smoke odor removal?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals use specialized treatments to remove smoke odors and improve indoor air quality.</p></div>

Q: Should I be worried about my oven smoking?

• <div><p>If your oven is new, then it&rsquo;s likely that the oven smoking is due to it being a new unit. In this case, you don&rsquo;t need to worry about the oven smoking. However, if your oven is old, you can&rsquo;t identify any burnt food or grease that could be behind the smoking, or you have concerns about the heating element, then you should hire an oven technician to inspect your unit.</p></div>

Eli is a joy to work with. Communicated well. He did the job for 1/3 of the cost of the company that discovered the problem. I will continue to use him for cleaning services. He replaced a rusted chimney cap for us, and caulked some cracks in the firewall of our fire place. Highly recommend him.

"Eric and Riley did a great job for a very fair price, diagnosing and fixing of several problems that popped up. For anyone worried about price gouging, they showed a lot of integrity by replacing parts at no extra cost when they easily could have gotten by keeping mismatched but functioning accessories. Also, it is not cost-effective to dig into the gas lines and the firebox just to sell an upgrade. Outside work such as installing a color-coordinated chimney cap might yield a profit. Chimney Sweeps are very busy. I recommend getting on the books early or doing an off-season inspection. My fireplace is up and running, but I plan to get a level 2 inspection to have more knowledge and peace of mind about the house. In hindsight, I should have gotten a nicer log set, but I wanted to keep costs down in case I had to spend more on repairs."
