Buying a home in Longs means inheriting its quirks, and your chimney might be one of them. Our inspections go beyond just checking for soot; we look for signs of water damage (common in our humid summers), improper lining, or even old mortar that’s crumbling—problems that could lead to costly repairs if ignored. Think of it like a car’s safety inspection before a road trip: you wouldn’t drive without knowing the brakes work, right? We’ll give you a plain-English breakdown of what’s safe, what needs attention, and why. And because we know first-time homeowners have questions, we’ll walk you through the report *in person*—no confusing diagrams or industry buzzwords. Licensed, insured, and backed by a 30-day warranty on any repairs we recommend.

Our high-efficiency sweeping removes *all* stages of creosote—from dusty Stage 1 to the hard, tar-like Stage 3—so your chimney stays safe for years. We use modern tools (no old brushes that leave residue) and focus on the spots Longs chimneys often miss: the smoke chamber, crown, and even the flue’s bends where creosote loves to hide. After we’re done, your chimney will pass a visual inspection *and* a smoke test (yes, we’ll light a small, controlled fire to check draft—no guesswork). Plus, we’ll show you how to burn wood efficiently to slow future buildup, saving you money on sweeps down the road.
Request this service →If your chimney liner’s damaged, moisture from Longs’ rainy season or even condensation from fires can seep into your home’s structure, leading to mold, rust, or even a chimney fire. We’ll inspect your liner for gaps, rust, or separation from the masonry and recommend the right fix—whether it’s sealing small cracks, relining with stainless steel (the gold standard), or even upgrading to a heat-resistant ceramic liner if your chimney’s older. Our team specializes in minimal-invasive repairs so you don’t tear up your fireplace or living room. And because we know cost is a concern for new homeowners, we’ll explain *why* the repair is necessary in terms you’ll understand—no upselling, just honest advice. All our liner work comes with a 5-year warranty.

Our maintenance plan takes the guesswork out of fireplace care: we’ll sweep your chimney twice a year (before and after fire season), inspect for wear, and adjust your damper for optimal airflow—all at a locked-in rate. We’ll also teach you how to spot trouble signs between visits (like excessive smoke or soot in your room) and give you a checklist for safe burning. It’s like a gym membership for your chimney: skip it, and you risk costly repairs; stick with it, and your fireplace stays reliable for years. Plans include priority scheduling, so you’re never waiting when the cold hits.
Request this service →If your chimney’s on fire, every second counts. Our team responds to Longs and nearby areas *within the hour* (yes, even on holidays) to put out the fire, assess the damage, and start repairs—no waiting for a “convenient” time. We’ll check for structural damage, reline if needed, and ensure your chimney’s safe before you light another fire. Most homeowners don’t realize chimney fires can happen *without warning*, especially if creosote’s built up or your damper’s stuck. That’s why we offer free safety checks after any emergency call. Our goal? Make sure your fireplace is a source of warmth, not worry. And because we know emergencies are stressful, we’ll file any necessary insurance claims with you and handle the paperwork.

Our CO safety check tests your chimney’s draft, seals any leaks in the flue, and verifies your carbon monoxide detector is placed correctly (we’ll show you the right spot—*not* near the fireplace!). We’ll also check for blocked vents or rusted components that could trap CO inside your home. It’s a quick, non-invasive service that gives you peace of mind before your first winter fire. And if we find issues, we’ll explain them in simple terms—no scare tactics, just solutions. All checks include a printed safety certificate for your records.
