Our Core Services

We Clean Chimneys to Protect You

A clean chimney keeps your home safe from dangerous creosote buildup and fire hazards. Our professional sweeps remove soot, debris, and blockages so your fireplace and chimney can operate safely and efficiently year-round.

We also Clean Dryer Vents

Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of household fires. Our thorough dryer vent cleaning improves airflow, reduces energy costs, and helps prevent fire and carbon monoxide risks—keeping your home and family safe.

We Inspect, Clean & Maintain Gas Appliances

Gas fireplaces and stoves need regular maintenance to stay safe and reliable. We provide expert inspections, cleanings, and tune-ups to ensure your gas appliances burn cleanly, operate efficiently, and last for years to come.

Whether you’re upgrading your home with a new wood stove or a stylish gas fireplace, our team has the experience to handle every installation. We’ll help you choose the right appliance and install it with precision and care.

The Basics On The Different Levels Of Chimney Inspections

Level 1 Inspections:

Your CSIA-certified Advanced Chimney Techniques technician will recommend a Level 1 inspection if your system and use of it hasn’t changed, and you haven’t added a new appliance or augmented/changed your venting system. With this inspection, we’ll examine the accessible parts of your chimney’s interior and exterior and your appliance and its connection to the chimney, to make sure that everything is functioning correctly and that blockages and combustible deposits aren’t present.

Level 2 – Real Estate & Video Inspections:

A more thorough, Level 2 chimney inspection is the right choice if the property is being bought or sold, or if there’s been a change to your chimney system — may be a new appliance, a new flue liner, a change in flue type, etc.. If there’s been a problem — particularly a fire or major weather event — a Level 2 inspection will be appropriate too. During these inspections, the process of a Level 1 inspection is completed, in addition to an examination of basements, crawl spaces and attics, and a check for proper clearance of combustible materials. At Advanced Chimney Techniques, we use state-of-the-art video scanning to ensure that we’re getting the closest, most detailed view of the flue. With a Level 2 inspection, any issues that might not show up during a flashlight/mirror inspection can be found.

Level 3 Inspections:

If technicians find significant issues during a Level 2 inspection, a Level 3 inspection will usually be recommended. It follows the Level 2 process but also can include removal of components or coverings (like doors or panels) to examine more thoroughly and assess the condition of the system. In addition to chimney inspections, Advanced Chimney Techniques can also take care of your annual chimney sweeping and cleaning needs. To make an appointment for either service, or both, give us a call, or use the convenient online appointment form. If our inspection indicates the need for extensive chimney repair or rebuilding, don’t worry. Our expert crew can handle this specialized type of chimney and fireplace service.
