Our Services

Chimney Cleaning

Wood-burning fireplaces in Manville homes accumulate creosote—a flammable residue—over seasons. Professional cleaning removes this buildup, restoring draft and preventing fire risk. Many older homes on Main Street and in the North section still rely on fireplaces for supplemental heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my chimney cleaned?

If you use your fireplace or wood stove regularly, have the chimney inspected and cleaned annually. Light seasonal use may allow cleaning every other year, but an inspection is always recommended before each heating season.

What is creosote and why is it dangerous?

Creosote is a flammable tar-like residue that builds up inside chimneys from burning wood. When ignited, it causes chimney fires, which can damage the flue and spread to your home. Regular cleaning prevents this dangerous buildup.

Do you offer same-day service?

We respond to calls quickly, though availability depends on our current schedule. Call to discuss your timeline; we handle emergency chimney issues as a priority and can often fit in inspections within a few days.

What is a Level 2 chimney inspection?

A Level 2 inspection includes video camera examination of the entire flue, a thorough exterior and interior visual assessment, and evaluation of the chimney structure and systems. This is standard for pre-purchase inspections or when repairs are being considered.

Are your services available in Lost Valley and other Manville neighborhoods?

Yes, we serve all of Manville, including Lost Valley, Manville North, downtown Main Street, and adjacent towns. Call or request an appointment to schedule a visit to your home.

What should I do if I suspect a chimney problem?

Stop using your fireplace immediately. Signs of trouble include poor draft, smoke backup, strong odors, or visible cracks. Call us right away for a professional inspection. Do not attempt repairs yourself.
