We recommend having your fireplace swept & inspected annually.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) wants chimneys to be inspected annually. Additionally, for real estate transfers, after a chimney fire, earthquake, or other suspected damage, a deeper inspection is called for (NFPA Level II Inspection).

As far as frequency of chimney sweeping goes, there is some debate about that! What is generally agreed is that a chimney should be swept around every cord to cord-and-a-half of wood burned through the system.

We do not. Our aim is to keep your existing fireplace in tip-top shape. If you’re looking for a new fireplace; There are multiple great suppliers locally, whose primary focus is selling and installing new fireplaces.

Very little is required!

The main thing is to avoid lighting a fire before your chimney sweep service, so that the fireplace and chimney can cool off for us. Certainly no fires lit the day of the service, nor the night before. Sometimes a small lit ember can start a fire within our dust control vacuum, or ash buckets. It’s a real safety issue!

To fit our chimney sweep equipment, we need about a 5’ x 5’ space directly in front of the fireplace to work. Clearing out the area is always appreciated! However, if you have an injury or a limitation – don’t worry about it. We can help with that!

Dogs: We love dogs and are always happy to meet them! However, once we start laying out our floor protection drop cloths, we do ask for dogs to be separated into another room or area. They often explore the chimney sweep work area, and sometimes our dust control vacuum startles them.

Yes we do. While our primary focus is Anchorage/Eagle River area, we do take periodic trips out to Palmer/Wasilla area. Reach out to see when our next trip is, to get on the roster.

If you are looking to remove an entire fireplace and renovate, or have a condo building full of fireplaces you need serviced - We would not be the best option!

We are a small team. Our focus is on chimney sweeps and inspections for homeowners, and related repairs, to keep your current fireplace in operation.

Yes, we do, every time. Our inspection reports include photographs and details from each inspection.

We do not remove animals from fireplaces/chimneys. However, we do have recommendations and contact info for people who are licensed and qualified to remove wild animals.

Every chimney should have a chimney cap installed that prevents birds and animals from entering. If you do not currently have a chimney cap, please let us know, and we can get you one installed.
