"English Sweep came highly recommended by our HVAC guy and it makes perfect sense why! I couldn't be more pleased with the ultimate professionalism, customer service, and quality of work we received from them. From the initial phone call to set up the inspection, to the service technician who did the inspection, to the 2 technicians who came to do the work today... top-of-the-line service all the way around! This is the first time I've ever used this type of service, and they made the entire experience painless. The estimate technician was very thorough in his explanation of the work that needed to be done, using the pictures that he took during his inspection. The technicians who did the work were respectful not only of our property but to me as well. They did such an amazing job of cleaning up after themselves, that one wouldn't even be able to tell we had work done (aside from our shiny new vents and tee). I can't speak highly enough of this business, and I will be sure to recommend them as much and as often as I can."

"They were great to work with. Knew what they were doing. Had the cap to our chimney get blown off in recent storm and was destroyed. They came out and fixed on a very steep roof. They even put a tarp over chimney when they inspected the chimney before doing repairs."

"Eric showed us where the bricks to the firewall were literally coming out!  We could have had an avalanche of bricks!!  He gave us two options:  one was to rebuild the back fire wall with brick, or install a one-inch steel plate.  The latter was the least expensive, so we contracted with him to replace the plate on 11/26/2014.
Our neighbor's chimney did not require any cleaning, and he charged her ZERO dollars.  THAT is amazing.

"Mike was great! He was prompt, did a thorough inspection, and took the time to explain everything to me and then even showed me some tips and tricks that I didn t know as a first time fire place/chimney owner. He came for a sweep but after the inspection said that it didn t need it. It was reassuring to know that he could have pulled the wool over my eyes and make a buck but instead was honest. We will definitely have him back and recommend to anyone!"

"David and his employee were very nice and arrived on time to my house. I could tell David cared about my chimney and making sure it was clean. His employee would clean the chimney and then David would inspect his cleaning job and would get in there himself and clean the spots he saw were still there. This made me feel confident in his work. He patched up all the cracks that I had in the back and bottom of the fireplace for a decent price. They left the area nice and clean after they were done. I will be using Absolute Clean next time I need my chimney sweep.

Chimney Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals use brushes, vacuums, and diagnostic tools to ensure thorough cleaning and safety.

Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.

Take a look at your roof shingles from the ground or from a ladder, and look for cracked or missing shingles, which are the most obvious signs of roof damage. You should also look for pockmarks from hail and blown debris, as well as blisters that could indicate a moisture issue or a problem with the installation. Inside your home, be on the lookout for water spots on the ceilings on your upper floor, as this is a clear sign of a roof leak.

While you can technically install new roof sheathing over an old layer, it is generally not recommended for several reasons. Installing new sheathing over old can trap moisture, which may lead to future problems, especially in humid climates. It also adds significant weight to the roof structure and prevents you from inspecting the original sheathing for rot, mold, or other damage.

However, in some cases, if the old sheathing has been thoroughly inspected and is in excellent condition with no signs of rotting, warping, or damage, a roofer may install new sheathing over it to add strength and stability. Despite this, the more common and recommended practice is to remove the old roof sheathing entirely before installing a new layer, as removing it is not a difficult task.

In many areas, chimney repair companies need to be licensed, but it depends on your state and local municipality. You can check with your local building department to see if companies need licenses, and then you can use Angi’s license lookup tool to confirm that the company you’re considering holds the proper license. It’s a good idea to confirm that the professional is fully insured, and you can ask about certification from organizations like the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). These certifications aren’t mandatory, but they help ensure a professional repair.
