Every time you ignite a log, it produces a dark, sticky residue that builds up on your chimney walls, and it's flammable. You don’t want to deal with the aftermath of a chimney fire, so removing creosote is essential. We sweep it out with specialized brushes and cleaning solutions that remove creosote and caked-on soot.

Blockages are another issue that can hinder your fireplace’s performance or worse. Your chimney can become blocked in several ways, but wildlife is usually the culprit. When a bird, raccoon, or other rodent chooses your chimney as a winter home, it interferes with the draft, keeps your fire from burning consistently, and can prevent harmful gases from venting out. Our chimney sweeps will remove blockages that could also prevent a thorough inspection.

Chambersburg's Best Chimney Inspections

A sweep removes soot and creosote from the flue. An inspection looks at the parts of your chimney you'd never see from the yard or the living room. That’s a big difference. By the time most people notice a problem up there, it's been going on for quite a while, and the repair bill will reflect it. Here are the three things we run into most around Chambersburg.

A Cracked Chimney Liner

Nobody spots this one on their own, because the only way to see it is to run a camera down the flue. A bad chimney liner can let heat reach the wood framing around it, and that's how house fires start. It can also let carbon monoxide leak into your home. You don't put either of those off until next season.

Water-Damaged Chimneys

If you've seen a chalky white film on your brick, that's efflorescence. Looks like nothing, I know. It tells you water is getting into the masonry, and every time it freezes and thaws, it pushes things apart a little more. Left alone, it stops being a cosmetic issue and becomes a structural one. Have a pro take a close look.

Damaged Chimney Crowns

The crown is the concrete cap on top of a chimney. You can't see it from the ground, so cracks can sit there for years without anyone noticing. Water will inevitably get in, work its way down, rot out whatever it touches, rust the metal parts, and end up pooling in your firebox. Just because you can't see cracks in a chimney crown doesn't mean it isn't there.
