We conduct detailed inspections to identify issues such as cracked flue tiles, compromised mortar joints, and obstructions within the flue, ensuring optimal safety and performance for your heating appliances.
Common questions
How to choose a chimney service company?
When selecting a chimney service company, prioritize those with certified technicians, such as those holding CSIA certifications. Inquire about their experience with your specific chimney type and age of your home. Requesting a detailed written estimate that outlines all proposed work and materials is also a crucial step in making an informed decision.
What is the difference between chimney sweeping and chimney cleaning?
While often used interchangeably, 'chimney sweeping' specifically refers to the physical removal of soot, creosote, and other blockages from the chimney flue. 'Chimney cleaning' is a broader term that encompasses sweeping, along with inspection and addressing any necessary repairs or maintenance for the entire chimney system, ensuring its safe and efficient operation.
What time of year is best to clean chimney?
For Nebraska homeowners, the most opportune time for chimney cleaning is typically in the spring or early summer, following the winter heating season. This proactive approach allows for the removal of accumulated creosote and for any necessary repairs to be completed before the colder months arrive, ensuring your chimney is safe and efficient.
How long does it take for a professional to clean a chimney?
The duration of a professional chimney cleaning varies based on the complexity and condition of the chimney. A standard cleaning and inspection for a typical residential fireplace can range from one to two hours. Factors such as the height of the chimney, the amount of creosote present, and the need for additional repairs will influence the total service time.
How much should I charge to clean a 2000 sq ft home?
Service costs are determined by specific chimney attributes such as its construction, materials, and the degree of obstruction, rather than solely by the home's square footage.

What is the difference between chimney sweeping and chimney cleaning?
Chimney sweeping is the process of physically clearing creosote and soot from the chimney flue using brushes and other tools. Chimney cleaning is a more comprehensive service that includes sweeping, a thorough safety inspection of the entire chimney system, and addressing any recommended repairs to ensure its optimal performance and safety.
