Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers from the crew.
How often should a chimney in Union County be inspected?
Once a year per NFPA 211 — NJ freeze-thaw winters are hard on masonry whether you burn or not.
What does a sweep cost?
We quote before we work and estimates are free. No trip charges for quoted jobs, no surprise add-ons.
What is creosote?
The flammable tar wood smoke leaves in your flue — the fuel for chimney fires. Sweeping removes it.
Level 1 vs Level 2 inspection?
Level 1 is the annual visual checkup; Level 2 adds a camera scan and is required at home sale, after a chimney fire, or when changing appliances.
Why is there water around my fireplace?
Flashing, crown, cap or porous brick — in that order of likelihood. We pinpoint it with photos before quoting the fix.
Do you clean dryer vents?
Yes — full run, machine to exterior hood. If towels take two cycles, call us.
