Cross-section — the parts a sweep works on, cap to hearth.

01 — The spine

A chimney is a system,
top to bottom.

Most of it sits behind brick and never gets looked at. Here is the order we work in, from the cap down to the firebox, with what each layer costs to put right.

  1. 01

    Cap & crown

    Level 2 inspection

    A Level 2 inspection goes past what a sweep can see from the hearth — the crown, the cap, the flashing line and the full run of the flue. It is the right starting point on a chimney that is new to you, or one that has not been opened up in a while.

    from $225 Level 2 inspection
  2. 02

    Exterior masonry

    Exterior chimney cleaning

    The outside of a chimney takes the weather: moss, staining, nesting debris and mortar that has started to give. Exterior cleaning covers the stack from the cap down to the roof line, including the crown.

    from $275 Exterior cleaning
  3. 03

    Flue liner

    Flue liner replacement

    The liner carries every flue gas out of the house. Cracks, open joints, or a liner sized for a different appliance are what we look for. If it needs replacing, the quote is written after the flue has been seen and measured.

    from $1,850 Liner replacement
  4. 04

    Firebox & damper

    Standard wood-burning sweep

    The sweep itself: the flue brushed with the right size brush, the smoke chamber cleared, soot and creosote taken off the firebox and damper, and the damper checked through its full travel. Drop cloths down, mess contained, debris hauled away.

    from $175 Standard sweep
  5. 05

    Wood stove

    Wood stove cleaning

    Stoves get their own pass. The flue connector and stovepipe come apart, the baffle and firebox are cleared, and the door seal and gaskets are checked before everything goes back together.

02 — On the roof

What happens while we're up there.

A standard wood-burning sweep is a top-down job. The work runs in the same order every visit, so nothing gets skipped and nothing gets left on the hearth.

  1. 01

    The flue

    Brushed from the top with a brush sized to the liner, so the walls are worked rather than just the middle of the channel.

  2. 02

    Smoke chamber and damper

    Soot cleared from the chamber above the damper, and the damper run through its full open and close to check it seats.

  3. 03

    Firebox

    Swept and vacuumed, not just brushed through — ash and creosote come out of the corners with the rest of the debris.

  4. 04

    Cap and crown

    Checked for cracks, loose mortar and anything a bird or a squirrel has pushed into the opening over the season.

  5. 05

    The walkthrough

    What we found, what we did, and what is worth watching before next winter. No scare tactics — just the state of the chimney.

04 — The work

Brick, soot and brass rods.

Chimney work is mostly invisible. These are the parts you would see if you stood on the roof or knelt at the hearth — the tools, the liner, the firebox after a clean.

Whether it is a standard sweep, a stove, or a liner that has finally given up, the answer starts the same way: the address and a photo. From there we can quote it properly.

We'll take it from there.

The quote form is short on purpose. Tell us where the house is, which service sounds closest, and attach whatever photos you already have of the chimney, the stove or the firebox. If you would rather just talk it through, call the number below.
