Chimney Inspections & Sweeping

Olde Towne Chimney Sweeps

Our CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps use state-of-the-art equipment to inspect and sweep 1st- and 2nd-story chimneys of all kinds, including oil-, wood-, and gas-burning chimneys. While sweeping your system, we ensure that it’s in working order. We look for any problems that could prevent peak performance and recommend what is needed for your system to burn cleanly and safely. When necessary, we use video inspection camera equipment to examine hidden parts of the flue.

Chimney Cleaning Types
  1. Brush – Loosens dust
  2. Power Cleaning – Removes stage 1, 2 and 3 creosote
  3. Chemical – Removes sticky stage 3

Most systems require power cleaning. Make sure your system is cleaned properly by a certified sweep.

Chimney Relining


Olde Towne Chimney Sweeps
Homeowners have greater flexibility today to resolve issues that could not be addressed before. We provide stainless steel relining, Thermocrete sealing, and pour in options that can address the most difficult situations.

Restoration/Historic Homes


Olde Towne Chimney Sweeps

Olde Towne Chimney Sweeps offers relining abilities that no other service company can provide.  Through extensive training and by partnering with Thermocrete USA, we now provide Homeowners with the option to repair chimneys that were unable to be repaired with past relining methods of stainless steel.  Thermocrete is a ceramic flue sealant that is applied at over 7,000 rpms with specially designed equipment from England. This product has allowed thousands of repairs in the U.S. since 1992 that were not capable of being repaired without major demolition and rebuilding entire systems. Thermocrete comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Dryer Vent Inspections & Cleaning
Consider these alarming statistics gathered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC estimates annually that there are 15,500 dryer exhaust fires resulting in 310 injuries, 10 deaths and millions of dollars of property loss. In addition to servicing chimneys, we inspect and clean dryer vents in one- and two-story homes. A thorough sweep by one of our dryer exhaust technicians includes searching for any issues that might interfere with optimal operation. Highly effective diagnostic tools allow us to detect and resolve issues before they become problems. 

Waterproofing/Repair & Restoration
We offer the full range of repairs to chimney systems, big and small—from repairing leaky flashing, tuckpointing and masonry repair, relining the flue, and chimney rebuilding.

Rebuild Fireboxes and Fireplace Fronts

Olde Towne Chimney Sweeps

Water damage resulting from a missing chimney cap is all too common. We remedy this situation by reconstructing the back walls of fireboxes, returning them to their original pristine condition.

Rebuild Concrete Crowns

Olde Towne Chimney Sweeps

Improperly built crowns are another common problem. If yours is cracked or poorly constructed—allowing water penetration or posing a fire hazard—we’ll build a proper concrete one that’s guaranteed not to crack.

Install Chimney Caps

The best way to prevent moisture from rain and snow, animals, leaves, and other debris from entering your chimney is to install a chimney cap. Our high-quality stainless steel caps carry a lifetime warranty.

Replace Chase Tops (With Stainless Steel)

Olde Towne Chimney Sweeps

Leaky or damaged chase tops, and those made of masonry, are potential hazards on prefabricated metal fireplaces. We help eliminate problems before they start by replacing masonry and rusty metal chase tops.

Water Leak & Condensation Resolution & Repair
If water is damaging your fireplace inside or out, we’ll find and fix it—no matter the source.

Air Vent Problem Resolution

The quality of the air you breathe in your home is important, and we take it seriously. Our technicians have extensive knowledge about the entire venting system in your house, and we have the expertise to detect and resolve the full range of air vent issues.
