Creosote build-up
A 1/8" layer of creosote can ignite at 451°F and burn at 2,000°F — hot enough to crack flue tiles and torch your roof.

Why it matters
What your chimney is hiding right now.
25,000+ chimney fires hit U.S. homes every year — most start invisible. Two minutes here could save your roof, your air, and a $40,000 insurance fight. Here's what we look for on every Ohio rooftop we climb.
Carbon monoxide leaks
Blocked or cracked flues push CO back into your living room. It's odorless, colorless, and kills 400+ Americans every year.
Invisible · Odorless · Deadly
Animal & debris blockage
Birds, squirrels and leaves nest in uncapped flues, trapping smoke and embers right above your fireplace.
Common in Ohio fall & spring
Damaged crown & cap
Ohio freeze-thaw cycles crack mortar crowns. One season untreated and water reaches the firebox.

Crown rebuild
Is your chimney leaking?
One bad Ohio winter and the water wins.
Freeze-thaw widens hairline cracks until water reaches your firebox, your walls, your ceiling. We climb up, find the source, seal it for good, and put it in writing — with a leak warranty you can hand to the next owner.
- Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney
- White efflorescence on the exterior brick
- Rust on the damper or firebox
- Musty smell after rain
- Crumbling crown or missing cap
- Damaged flashing where chimney meets roof

Reviews
Real Ohio neighbors. Honest words.
"They showed up in the window they promised, laid tarps everywhere, and walked me through the camera footage. Felt like having a friend on the roof."
Megan R.
Worthington, OH
"Found a cracked crown another company missed twice. Sealed it, fixed the leak, and gave me a written warranty. Wish I'd called them first."
David K.
Hyde Park, Cincinnati
"Cleanest sweep I've ever had — no soot in the living room, polite crew, and the fire draws perfectly now. Worth every penny."

FAQ

Real Ohioans answer the phone. No call centers, no pressure, no charge for advice.
(614) 683-4422How often should I sweep my chimney?+
The CSIA recommends an annual inspection and a sweep whenever creosote reaches 1/8". For most Ohio homes that burn wood weekly, that's once a year.
Do you service gas fireplaces too?+
Yes — we sweep, inspect and repair wood, gas and pellet systems, including inserts and zero-clearance units.
How long does a sweep take?+
A standard sweep and Level 1 inspection takes 45–90 minutes. Repairs are quoted on the spot in a written estimate.
What does it cost?+
Our new-customer inspection is $69. Sweeps start at $179 and most repairs are completed under $600. Honest, flat-rate pricing — no hidden fees.
Are you really local?+
Born and raised in Ohio. Our crew lives in Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton — same neighborhoods we service.
