Services
Chimney Sweeping
Professional chimney sweeping removes soot, creosote, and blockages to ensure safe, efficient fireplace operation. Our technicians use advanced tools to clean flues thoroughly while protecting your home from messes. Annual sweeping prevents fire hazards and maintains optimal airflow for wood and gas fireplaces.
Chimney Inspections
Comprehensive chimney inspections identify structural damage, debris buildup, or safety risks in venting systems. We perform 25-point leak inspections and real estate evaluations to assess chimney integrity. Regular inspections ensure compliance with NFPA and CSIA safety standards.
Masonry Repairs
Masonry repairs address crumbling mortar, cracked bricks, and water damage to restore chimney durability. Our team uses repointing and HeatShield resurfacing techniques to reinforce structures. Timely repairs prevent costly rebuilds and maintain home safety.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup to reduce fire risks and improve appliance efficiency. We use high-powered vacuums to clear vents without creating messes. Regular maintenance extends dryer lifespan and lowers energy costs for homeowners.
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplace service includes burner tube cleaning, thermocouple adjustments, and glass inspections. Our technicians ensure safe, efficient operation of gas logs and inserts. Annual maintenance preserves performance and prevents carbon monoxide leaks.

Tech was knowledgeable and pleasant. Do your research or get a second quote. I needed a new part for gas fireplace. Showed the quote and model # to a fireplace supply company and got the part for 1/4 of what old Smokeys quoted me.

I had a really nice young man (Juan) that came out to service our gas fireplace. He talked to me about having our gas logs replaced and possibly a door with window put in. I asked him to have someone call me for an estimate which he called back and confirmed that he did. I've never heard from anyone. I've left a message but still no call.

Had issue with LP gas log fireplace not staying one. Venting issue was found to be issue and outside expertise of initial tech, they sent a second tech for a thorough inspection and repair. Very efficient, clean, and knowledgeable. Walked me through the issue and noted some do's and dont's.

The folks at Old Smokey's know what they're doing. They provide excellent service and take the time to do the job right. Special thanks to their service tech, Alex, for work on our fireplace insert - way over and above expectations.

I hired Old Smokey's to repair a gas shutoff valve on my fireplace. The technician was fantastic and really thoroughly went over the whole setup. The price was also good considering the amount of work it ended up taking. I would definitely recommend them to friends!
