Every job is handled by licensed, insured technicians with upfront written pricing, and backed by a workmanship guarantee, with free estimates for all of Brandywine and nearby areas.
Brandywine’s damp summers leave chimneys with sticky, flammable creosote that hardens fast once the weather cools. Our certified sweeps use rotary brushes and vacuum systems to pull out every trace, even in tight flues. We’ll also check for mortar deterioration from the area’s moisture swings and ensure your damper seals properly against drafts. This isn’t just a sweep, it’s a full seasonal health check. Pricing starts at $145 for standard sweeps, with inspection add-ons at $75. Book now to avoid the October rush when rates climb.
Call about this serviceThat glossy black gunk in your chimney isn’t just dirt, it’s a fire waiting to happen. Stage 2 and 3 creosote burns at temperatures as low as 1,100°F, turning your fireplace into a tinderbox. We tackle it with high-pressure air systems and stainless-steel brushes designed to avoid scratching your flue lining. Unlike quick sweeps that miss spots, we verify clearance with a flashlight and go until the flue is spotless. This service runs $195–$280 depending on chimney height and buildup severity. Don’t gamble with your safety, call before your next fire starts with a bang.
Call about this serviceEvery time it rains near the Brandywine Creek area, water seeps into tiny cracks in your chimney crown or mortar joints. Over time, that moisture freezes, expands, and turns those cracks into weak points, until your chimney starts leaking soot into your attic. Our waterproofing includes a flexible sealant that bridges gaps and a silicone-based coating to shed rain like a duck’s back. For larger cracks, we tuck-point with heat-resistant mortar that matches your brickwork. This isn’t a bandage; it’s a long-term fix. Pricing varies by repair scope, but expect $220–$450 for full waterproofing plus any necessary repointing.
Call about this serviceWhy scramble for an appointment every October? Our Fall/Winter Maintenance Plan locks in two sweeps (one now, one in spring) plus a mid-season inspection for just $320, saving you $80 off à la carte pricing.

It’s the only way to guarantee your chimney stays safe without the last-minute stress. Plans include a 30-day warranty on any repairs we uncover during inspections.
Call about this serviceThat acrid smell when you light your fire isn’t ‘part of the process.’ It’s a sign your chimney’s clogged or leaking. Our emergency crew arrives within 90 minutes of your call, even on weekends. We’ll diagnose the issue, whether it’s a fallen leaf damper, animal nest, or creosote blockage, and fix it on the spot. No hidden fees for after-hours service, and we’ll document everything so your insurance knows you took action. Pricing for emergencies starts at $175 for unblocking, with a $50 travel fee outside our core Brandywine service radius. Your safety isn’t a ‘convenient time’, call us anytime.
Call about this serviceThat rust-colored dust on your fireplace hearth? It’s not just dirt, it’s a sign your flue lining’s failing. Over time, Brandywine’s humidity and temperature swings corrode single-wall metal liners or let old masonry chimneys develop gaps. Our solution is a custom stainless-steel liner that fits inside your existing chimney, creating a smooth, non-porous barrier. It stops soot from escaping, improves draft, and adds 25+ years of life to your chimney. Relining starts at $1,200 for a single-story home, with multi-story or complex chimneys running $1,800–$3,500. We’ll inspect your chimney first to confirm if relining is needed, or if a simpler repair will do.
