This covers the routine removal of soot and blockage, paired with fixing any broken components like dampers or flue tiles. You need this if your fireplace smokes back into the room or if you hear animals inside the chimney.

A professional inspection identifies whether you simply need a sweep or if specific parts require a repair to function.
Summer is often overlooked, but it is actually a great time to service your chimney. Technicians have more availability, making it easier to book a time that fits your schedule.
