With the help of a professional chimney sweep, you can ensure that you’re properly maintaining your chimney and fireplace year after year so that you can enjoy greater peace of mind.

Without professional services, you may end up with damage to integral parts of your chimney or even an excess buildup of creosote. A sweep will be able to clear everything out so that you don’t have to worry about a chimney fire, water leaks, or any other problem that could have a negative impact on your home.

Repair and Restoration

Repairs are a necessity when you experience some kind of damage. This can occur because of age as well as because of weather. Given the harsh winters of Farmington, MI, the brick and mortar can be damaged because of the moisture as well as the ice buildup. If you see damage to your chimney, we have masonry and brick restoration professionals who can handle all of the repairs from top to bottom.

Restoration is an important service as well because you may wish to change the aesthetic over time. If you want to switch the design, brick, or stone, we can help with that.

Chimney Installation

Level 1 Inspections

Inspections are a critical part of having a fireplace. Per the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPTA), fireplaces and chimneys must be inspected on an annual basis – and done so by a qualified chimney sweep. In Farmington, MI, our experts are ready to help you get the Level 1 inspection you need to be compliant.

During a level 1 inspection, we cover several things:

  • Sweep the firebox, venting system, and smoke chamber
  • Clean off the chimney cap
  • Inspect all accessible areas

Level 1 Inspections

Level 2 Inspections

A level 2 inspection is required if there is any kind of change made to the system. It can also be advantageous to ask for this more in-depth inspection if you have just bought your home or you have reason to believe there may be intensive damage somewhere within the system.

In addition to performing the tasks in a level 1 inspection, our chimney sweeps will also conduct an inspection of the chimney or stove pipe. This allows us to check for deterioration that may have been caused by water leaks and/or excessive heat.

We also use a camera scope to see the full venting system. We check for cracks and gaps that may lead to build-up and have a negative impact on the way that your unit can operate correctly.

Level 2 Inspections

Critter Control

It can be alarming to hear noises inside of your chimney. A variety of critters will seek shelter inside of a chimney if there isn’t a sufficient cap in place. This can include raccoons and squirrels. Unfortunately, these mammals will often get stuck – and you’ll want to have a professional come out to remove them so that bigger problems don’t occur.

Bird nests can often be built inside or on top of your chimney, too. If you don’t have a cap (or it is damaged), it’s an open invitation for birds.

When you call us, we’ll send a professional out to inspect your chimney for mammals and birds alike. We can remove the critters, repair any damage they have caused, and work to prevent the situation from occurring again.
