Calling us to schedule an annual chimney inspection is essential for fire prevention, avoiding obstructions that can expose occupants to poisonous carbon monoxide fumes and water leaks, and ensuring your chimney is structurally sound, not to mention avoiding costlier repairs down the road if issues are ignored or overlooked. Your Certified Chimney Sweep® will provide a detailed inspection report giving you a snapshot of your chimney’s current condition. The technician will also inform you if repairs, replacement, or cleaning are necessary.

Does Your Chimney Smell?

The Arlington County Fire Department recommends homeowners have their chimney, fireplace, and other attached heating appliances inspected and cleaned regularly. Creosote build-up in an uncleaned chimney flue is the leading cause of house fires here in the Washington DC Metro Area. So, what is chimney creosote? It is a natural byproduct of combustion, primarily from burning wood. However, as it remains in the chimney, it becomes a dark, tarry, and crusty material that is highly flammable. Our CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps remove creosote build-up in the flue, smoke chamber, and other areas of the chimney, giving you peace of mind that your fireplace or heating stove is safe to operate.

Many homes in Arlington, VA, need chimney relining because their outdated clay liner has cracks, corrosion, or missing tiles that increase the risk of fire and exposure to harmful carbon monoxide fumes. We often recommend installing a stainless-steel liner. It is inserted directly into the flue, increasing your fireplace’s heating efficiency and reducing fuel costs. It is also more durable, will last longer, and will help reduce creosote build-up. Thus, it improves the safety and performance of your gas, wood-burning fireplace, or heating stove.

Beautiful Outdoor Patios

Our professional masons are talented craftsmen that can improve your home’s exterior appearance with custom-designed patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Whether you prefer concrete, brick pavers, flagstone, or custom stonework, you will love your home’s upgraded appearance.
