Jamaica’s older homes and newer gas fireplaces all need this. Our crew uses rotating brushes and vacuum systems to pull out every trace of soot and creosote, even in tight flues. We don’t just sweep, we inspect for rusted caps, loose bricks, or water damage that could turn your chimney into a ticking time bomb. Most sweeps take 45 minutes to an hour, but we’ll let you know upfront if we spot something needing extra attention. And because we’re local, we know which Jamaica neighborhoods have the worst buildup, like near the Belt Parkway where drafts get tricky.

We use high-pressure air and specialized tools to dissolve and remove it completely, then scrub the flue walls to stop new buildup. This is especially critical after a long winter of heavy use, or if you’ve noticed smoke backing into your room. We’ll also check your damper and smoke chamber for hidden damage. No one in Jamaica should ignore creosote, it’s the #1 cause of chimney fires, and we’ll make sure yours is safe before your next fire season.

Our Level 2 inspection includes a video scan of your flue, checking for spalling bricks, missing mortar, or water damage that could weaken your chimney over time. We’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and whether it’s a quick fix or something needing a mason. This isn’t just a formality, it’s how you avoid a $5,000 repair down the road. And if you’re selling your home, a clean inspection report adds value and peace of mind.

We patch and repoint damaged areas, then apply a breathable waterproof sealant to keep moisture out. This isn’t cosmetic, it’s how you prevent costly foundation damage. We’ll also check your chimney cap for rust or gaps that let in debris. Most repairs take a day, and we’ll give you a timeline upfront so you’re not left in the cold.

A clogged vent doesn’t just waste energy, it creates a serious fire hazard in your home. Our crew uses a powerful vacuum to pull out all lint, then inspects the duct for tears or disconnected sections. We’ll also check your dryer’s exhaust flap for cracks. A clean vent saves energy, cuts drying time, and keeps your home safe. Most cleanings take 30-45 minutes, and we’ll let you know if we find any hidden damage.
Request this service →If your chimney’s smoking, leaking, or you hear strange noises when you light a fire, don’t wait. We’ll come out same-day to assess the problem, whether it’s a cracked liner, a failed damper, or water damage, and give you a clear plan to fix it. Jamaica’s weather swings can hide problems until it’s too late, so we prioritize urgent calls. Our goal isn’t just to patch things up; it’s to explain what went wrong and how to prevent it next time. No one should have to worry about their chimney while they’re trying to stay warm.
