"We had a great experience with this company. They cleaned our chimney, installed a new chimney liner, replaced the necessary parts, and put on a new chimney cap. The entire process was professional, efficient, and very reasonably priced. Eric was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything they were doing. They left the area clean and made sure everything was working safely before they left. We really appreciated their honesty, quality workmanship, and affordable pricing. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable chimney repairs or maintenance!"

"Mike Haskin provided wonderful service. Being able to schedule the appointment on-line for next-day service and also having Mike call from his cell phone for confirmation made for a very efficient experience. When I told Mike I had a time crunch, he arrived early, with an extra worker, and was in and out of my house in less than 20 minutes! And the fireplace is clean and burning wood with no smoke. Great job!"

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.

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. 

Yes, most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage and restoration, provided the fire was not set intentionally or caused by negligence. Accidental fires, such as those from electrical issues, cooking, or gas, are typically covered. Your policy will usually cover emergency services like roof tarping, the full cost of remediation and rebuilding, and may also cover alternative housing while your home is being restored. You will be responsible for paying your policy's deductible. It is important to check your policy details to see how coverage is calculated—it may be for the full replacement cost of damaged items or the actual cash value, which accounts for depreciation. To expedite your claim, contact your insurance company immediately and have all necessary documentation ready.

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.

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.
