Here’s the truth: most chimney fires start from creosote buildup, and most homeowners don’t know they’ve got it until it’s too late. We use a brush-and-vacuum system that pulls out every trace of tarry residue, not just the surface gunk. Our techs also check for hidden issues, like a cracked crown that lets rainwater seep into your masonry, that no camera inspection catches. In Joppa’s older homes, we’ve found deteriorated flue tiles behind intact liners, and in newer builds, we spot improperly installed stainless steel pipes that won’t last past winter. We fix what’s broken, not just sweep what’s visible.
You won’t find us making up rules or charging for ‘extra’ services. Our pricing is flat: $120 for a basic sweep, $180 for a full inspection with video documentation, and $250 for repairs we uncover. No upselling, no surprise fees. We also offer a seasonal maintenance plan for Joppa homeowners who fire up their chimneys year-round, two sweeps for $200, with a priority booking slot. If you’ve ever had a chimney sweep show up late, charge by the hour, or leave your fireplace unusable for days, you know why we do things differently. Call us when you’re ready for real work, not a sales pitch.
