Professional chimney cleaning service that removes dangerous buildup and keeps your family safe all season long.
Hear from Our Customers
You get to use your fireplace without that nagging worry in the back of your mind. No more wondering if tonight’s the night something goes wrong.
A properly cleaned chimney draws smoke up and out like it should. Your fires burn cleaner, your home stays comfortable, and you’re not dealing with smoke backing up into your living room.
Most importantly, you eliminate the creosote buildup that causes chimney fires. That black, tar-like substance accumulates every time you burn wood, and it’s highly flammable. Professional cleaning removes it completely, so you can enjoy your fireplace knowing you’ve done everything right to protect your home and family.
Certified Chimney Inspections has been serving Richmond homeowners since 2000. The same experienced team that started this work over two decades ago formally established the current company in 2016.
Every technician on our team is CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America. That means we’ve met the industry’s highest standards for knowledge and professionalism.
You’re working with people who understand Richmond’s unique challenges – the salt air, the moisture, the way coastal weather affects chimney systems. We’ve seen it all and know exactly how to handle whatever your chimney needs.
First, we protect your home with drop cloths and covers. You won’t have soot tracked through your house or furniture covered in dust.
The actual cleaning starts from the top down, using professional brushes and vacuum systems to remove all creosote, soot, and debris from the flue. We inspect as we go, checking for any damage or issues that need attention.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through what we found. You’ll know exactly what condition your chimney is in and what, if anything, needs to be addressed. No surprises, no hidden problems discovered later – just straight talk about your chimney’s health.
Ready to get started?
You get a thorough cleaning of the entire flue system, from top to bottom. That includes removing all creosote buildup, soot, and any debris like leaves or animal nests that might have accumulated.
The service includes a visual inspection of your chimney’s condition. Richmond’s coastal environment can be tough on masonry and metal components, so we check for any signs of damage or wear that could become problems.
You also get honest feedback about your chimney’s condition and any maintenance it might need. No sales pressure, just professional advice from people who’ve been doing this work for over twenty years and know what actually matters for safety and performance.
