The clearest signs are visible creosote buildup in the firebox, reduced draft, smoke entering the room, or a strong odor when the fireplace isn't in use. That said, you may not notice anything visible at all — which is exactly why the NFPA recommends an annual inspection regardless of how much you use the fireplace.

A sweep removes creosote and debris from the flue. An inspection assesses the structural condition of the flue liner, firebox, crown, and exterior masonry. Our appointments combine both: we sweep, then walk you through a full visual inspection with findings explained before we leave.

We serve Waukesha County and surrounding areas including Milwaukee, Washington, Ozaukee, and Jefferson counties. We've been working in these communities as a family-owned company since 2009.

Both. We service, repair, and install wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, gas and wood inserts, and freestanding stoves. The full scope of chimney and fireplace work comes through our team.

Same day, you'll receive a digital copy of your receipt and service paperwork by email. We also send before-and-after photos documenting the work. If any repairs were recommended, we follow up after project completion to make sure everything was addressed to your satisfaction.
