What we do
Every visit starts with a look at the whole system: firebox, smoke chamber, flue, crown and cap. You get a written report with photos either way.
Level 1 inspection
The yearly check for a chimney you already use. Readily accessible parts, clearances and the flue checked for blockage and damage. Included free with every sweep.
Free with a sweep
Level 2 inspection
A camera run the full length of the flue, plus attic and crawlspace checks. Needed after a chimney fire, a storm, a new stove, or a change in fuel.
From $295
Cap & crown repair
Stainless caps to keep out rain, squirrels and nesting birds. Cracked crowns sealed or recast before the freeze-thaw season opens them up further.
Quoted on site
Wood & pellet stoves
Wood stove baffles, flue collars and connector pipe cleaned. Pellet stoves get burn pots, heat exchangers, exhaust and combustion fans cleared out.
From $189
Dryer vent cleaning
Lint packed in a long dryer run is a real fire risk and it doubles drying time. We clean the full run to the outside hood and check the flap.
From $129
Insurance & home-sale inspections
Buying or selling a house with a fireplace? NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 inspection at sale. We turn reports around in two business days, written so a buyer, seller, agent or insurer can read them without a translator.

Why sweep every year
Every fire leaves a little creosote on the inside of the flue. It builds quietly, and it burns hotter than the wood that made it.
Looking down the flue after a season of fires
Light soot Dry, flaky, brushes right out. Where you want to be each fall.
Crunchy flakes Builds fast with damp wood or a choked-down stove. Still sweepable.
Glazed tar Shiny and hard. This is what feeds chimney fires and needs chemical removal.
- The NFPA says chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected once a year, and swept when needed.
- A cracked flue tile can let heat and carbon monoxide into the walls of your house without any sign from the hearth.
- Most home insurers in Maine ask about chimney upkeep after a claim. A dated report is your record.
Book before heating season
By October our calendar runs three to four weeks out, and by the first hard frost everybody calls at once. A late-summer sweep means you light the first fire without waiting, and any repair has time to cure before it freezes.

From the neighbors
Example reviews for this sample. Your real customer reviews go here.
They showed up in the window they gave me, put down more drop cloths than I thought one living room could hold, and left it cleaner than they found it.
Amos sent photos of a cracked crown I never would have seen from the ground. Fixed in August, no leaks this spring.
Our pellet stove kept shutting off. Turned out the exhaust was packed solid. Running fine all winter since.
