They put a camera up the flue first and showed me the creosote on the screen. After the sweep they ran it again — night and day. No mess in the house at all.

Our crown was cracked and the cap was rusted through. One crew rebuilt the crown and fitted a stainless cap the same week. Looks brand new from the street.

Called in the morning about a smoky fireplace, swept the same afternoon. The draw is back and the living room doesn't smell like a campfire anymore.

Water stain on the ceiling next to the chimney for two years. They found the flashing gap in twenty minutes, sealed and re-flashed it. Dry ever since.

Honest inspection. They showed me two cracked liner tiles on camera, explained my options, and relined the chimney two days later. Photos of everything.

Birds had nested in our uncapped flue. They cleared the nest, swept the chimney, and fitted a proper cap with a screen the same visit.

Third sweep company we've tried and the first to actually show us the flue on camera. Thorough, tidy, and the fireplace draws better than it has in years.

Mortar was crumbling out of the joints on our 40-year-old chimney. They tuckpointed the whole stack and it honestly looks new. Fair, careful work.

Straight answers
Asked the way our clients ask
These are the real questions people type into search and AI assistants every day — answered plainly.
Smoke is rolling back into the room — what's wrong?+
Smoke comes back when the flue can't draw: usually creosote choking the flue, a damper stuck half-shut, a blockage like a nest, or a cold flue on a still day. A camera inspection shows exactly which one it is — and most of them are fixed in the same visit, with a sweep.
How often should a chimney be swept?+
Once a year, before the season you burn most — and sooner if you burn often. Creosote builds up with every fire, and the glazed kind is a chimney-fire risk no amount of careful burning prevents. Our yearly visit is a sweep and a camera inspection in one appointment.
There's a bird in my chimney. Can you get it out?+
Yes — keep the damper closed and don't light a fire. We remove animals safely and humanely, clear any nest out of the flue, sweep it clean, and fit a proper cap with a screen so nothing gets back in.
Why does my fireplace smell, even when it's off?+
Creosote and soot absorb moisture and smell strongest in warm, humid weather — that campfire smell is the flue asking to be cleaned. A proper sweep and deep clean removes the source instead of masking it, and a draft check keeps the smell from drifting back down.
What does the camera inspection actually show?+
Everything inside the flue, on a monitor you watch with the tech: creosote buildup, cracked liner tiles, gaps, blockages — and after the work, the same flue clean. It's why we never quote from a guess: you see the problem before you approve anything, and you see it fixed before we leave.
Do you give prices over the phone?+
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney hides a different problem, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our inspections are free: a tech looks at the actual chimney, on camera, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.

About Us
Chimney people. Not salespeople.
Chimney Service Co is a local chimney sweep company. Chimneys are all we do — sweeping, cleaning, camera inspection and repair — so when we open your flue up on the monitor, we've seen the problem before and we know the fix.
For more than ten years, homeowners have called us for the same reason: the fireplace started smoking, smelling, or leaking right before they needed it. We show up the same day, show you the flue on camera, and leave it clean and drawing right.

Our story
Started with one rule: inspect first
Every chimney hides its problems. The same symptom — smoke rolling into the room — can be creosote choking the flue, a cracked liner tile, a damper stuck half-shut, or a nest. Guessing wrong costs the homeowner money and fixes nothing.
So from day one, our rule has been simple: camera before quote. The tech runs an inspection camera up the flue and shows you the creosote, the crack, or the blockage on the monitor — not on a clipboard. Inspections are free, and you get one clear price before any work starts.
Today our local chimney pros cover 35 service areas, and the reviews tell the same story in every one of them: inspected on camera, swept or repaired properly, and shown clean on screen before we pack up. And if a chimney honestly isn't worth repairing, we say that too — a company that will talk itself out of a job is the one you can trust with the next one.
We're licensed & insured, and we stand behind the simplest promise in the business: when you light your first fire after we've been, it draws clean and smells like nothing at all.
What we stand for
The way every visit should go
Inspect first
A camera, not a guess. We look inside the flue before we quote anything, so the price is for the problem you actually have.
Show you the flue
Creosote, cracks and clean flue — you see all of it on the monitor, before and after. No taking our word for anything.
Honest, even when it costs us
If a sweep fixes it, we sweep it. If a chimney isn't worth repairing, we tell you plainly. Licensed & insured, on every job.
Clean before we leave
Drop cloths down, fireplace sealed, soot vacuumed as we go. The only thing we leave behind is a clean chimney.
