What homeowners are saying

“Swept and camera-inspected before Thanksgiving. Zero dust in the house and they showed me photos of everything. Booking yearly.”
— Sarah K. · Potomac
“Two other companies quoted a full rebuild. These guys fixed the crown and waterproofed it for a fraction — leak's gone.”
— Marcus T. · North Bethesda
“Birds had nested in the flue. Nest out, stainless cap on, all in one visit. Professional from start to finish.”
— Priya D. · Germantown

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide free estimates?

Yes — repair estimates are free and written, with photos of what we found and the final price quoted before any work begins.

Do repairs come with a warranty?

Yes — masonry and cap work carries a workmanship guarantee, and waterproofing treatments include a 10-year material warranty.

How often should a chimney be swept?

The NFPA recommends an inspection every year and a sweep whenever creosote reaches 1/8 inch. If you burn regularly in Potomac winters, that's typically once a year.

My chimney leaks when it rains. Can you fix it?

Yes — most leaks come from a cracked crown, missing cap, or failed flashing. We diagnose the true source and fix it, not just symptoms.

Are you licensed and insured?

Fully. We carry liability insurance, and every technician is certified and background-checked.

What is a Level 2 inspection and when do I need one?

A Level 2 adds a full video scan of the flue. It's required when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or after any major weather event.

Do you work on gas fireplaces too?

We inspect and service the venting on gas units as well — flue checks, cap work, and draft problems included.

Will sweeping make a mess in my house?

No. We lay drop cloths, seal the fireplace opening, and run HEPA vacuums the entire time — your hearth stays spotless.

How fast can you get here?

Most Potomac appointments are available within a few days, and often same-week even in peak fall season.
