Did you know that according to the National Fire Protection Association, there are 3 levels of chimney inspections? The level 2 chimney inspection is recommended if you buy or sell your home or believe you may have experienced a chimney fire which includes a video inspection. This research indicates the significance of timely chimney inspection and cleaning- specifically fireplace inspection to avoid any risk of catching fire.

Looking for chimney liner installation near you? A Step in Time Chimney Sweeps offers chimney liner installation service to protect your home from heat transfer, gas leaks, and fires. A chimney liner is a flue lining in a masonry chimney that contains the combustion products and directs them to the outside atmosphere, protecting the chimney walls from heat and corrosion.
Woodstove inserts are constructed out of cast iron and are placed inside the opening of the existing masonry fireplace. These inserts are heavy and more difficult to clean, because the job requires the chimney technician to move the inserts out of the fireplace far enough to crawl behind the insert.

Back in 2014 I hired this company to clean our chimney in Virginia Beach . They gave us the bad news that we would need to change the liner in our chimney and a new cap because it was rusted through and could cause a fire. They offered to do the work for around $6k. We didn’t use the fireplace often and asked them to just cap it top and bottom. We paid and they capped it. We recently decided to convert to a gas fireplace and today I ripped out the fireplace and liner. I found no holes, no broken sections. I was impressed with how good the condition of the liner was. I wish I had hired them to

Amazing service!!! From receptionist to the technician, the service was great. I call them on Tuesday after another chimney company canceled on me last minute. The receptionist was so kind and understanding, she squeezed me in for an appointment the next day. Mike the technician came out, took care of everything. So professional, friendly, and top notch quality. Will be using this company only in the future. Thanks guys

The first visit Jeffery and Mario did everything in their power to remove the animals from the fireplace but after numerous attempts to get a live squirrel out so they could remove the dead ones they had to refer me to a specialist for the animal removal. They sent two more guys the next day to put my fireplace damper back on and the rain cap back on. And, did an inspection. They explained the repairs in detail that need to be done. I wish I could remember the names. Sorry. These guys are nothing but professionals and they care about their customers! Thanks for all you did. We will call when we

Recently purchased a home that we removed the wood burning insert to convert back to a regular fireplace. Terry our technician had a job on his hands since it hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time, he did a great job, had it inspected as well and he found some minor issues. Will have a yearly cleaning now for sure, definitely a fire hazard, so glad it’s done.

The technician (Austin) was early, very efficient, polite and informative. He was thorough and honest with the inspection. I look forward to working with the company and will request the same technician when we get the necessary repairs completed.

The chimney was as is when we bought the home, it turned out the chimney was "capped" with a very thin piece of sheet metal that was letting water in and all sorts of other things. Everything was explained and photographed/emailed to me (genius!), the gentlemen that arrived were all friendly and certainly tolerated my questions. Everyone was ready to work. Dillon handled the inspection, with Jeff and Noland doing the actual repairs - very pleased with the quality of work and grateful for the suggestions given to improve our experience. Everyone was exactly on time and I even had a few concerns

DO NOT USE THESE CROOKS!!! $224 FOR A GUY TO PRETEND LIKE HE'S VACUUMING YOUR FIREPLACE!!!
After calling a number of sweeps in the Richmond area who were unable to schedule me for a sweep until next year, I called number on the television ad for chimneysweeps.com and schedule an appointment for the following week. The scheduler was kind, and gave me valpac coupon discount even though I didn't have a coupon so the service would cost me $224 dollars - at least $100 over the prices of everyone else I called. She said it was for a sweep and an inspection, even though I only wanted the sweep, but I
