Chimney Sweep

National fire safety experts recommend homeowners in Hampstead and nearby communities have their chimneys, heating appliances, and vents cleaned at least once yearly by a Certified Chimney Sweep®. When creosote is not regularly removed, the tarry and flammable substance continue to accumulate, increasing the risk of fire. A hot ember or high temperature in the flue can ignite a fire in the chimney that can spread throughout your home.

Our chimney sweeps are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and follow industry-standard guidelines per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Our trained and certified technicians arrive in a marked company vehicle and carry the latest professional tools, supplies, and equipment to clean the chimney, including removing any flue obstructions thoroughly.

Chimney Inspections

The NFPA recommends homeowners in Hampstead, MD, and surrounding areas have annual chimney inspections. A chimney inspection is vital to ensuring a safe and efficient chimney system. Our certified technicians are trained to perform all three levels of chimney inspections in Hampstead and throughout Maryland.

Level 1: This is the basic visual inspection that is recommended annually for most homeowners.

Level 2: Also known as a real estate chimney inspection, a level 2 inspection is required before the sale or transfer of real property. It is also required whenever there have been any modifications to the chimney, vents, connected heating appliances, or a chimney fire.

Level 3: This in-depth examination is necessary when a potentially serious issue is discovered during a level 1 or level 2 inspection that requires the technician to gain entry to an inaccessible portion of the chimney system.

Leaky Chimneys

The chimney's age, weather, and insufficient cleaning can accelerate its normal wear and tear, causing a water leak to occur. A leaky chimney requires immediate repair to prevent further damage to the masonry and internal components. If you notice any of the following signs of a chimney leak, it is imperative to schedule chimney leak repair as soon as possible:

Water is in the firebox.
White stains (efflorescence) on the bricks
Cracks in the chimney crown
Mold around the chimney or fireplace
Condensation on the interior chimney walls, liner, or fireplace doors
Foul odors in the fireplace
