"Project was to reinstall a woodburning stove which was sitting in the middle of my living room. All Swept Up called me within hours after I typed up my project in HomeAdvisor. They were at my house a few days later (September 3rd) to give an estimate. They were the middle of 3 estimates I received that week. Initally I went with the lowest estimate - big mistake. So in mid-October I called All Swept Up back and scheduled them to do the work. So now it is the busy season for sweeps. Nevertheless they were able to fit me in on their schedule and on November 5th (today, as I type this), they reinstalled the insert, cleaned the chimney and replaced the adapter on the end of my steel liner (which had been damaged earlier in the summer when the insert was removed). What impressed me most is that they seemed to understand how a direct-connect insert works - something which has baffled other chimney sweeps. Didn't bother them a bit that the insert is very large and a tight fit. They showed up with the proper equipment and personnel to do the job. They used all kinds of padding to make sure our new tiling around the fireplace wasn't damaged. They stuck to their original month-old estimate. They even replaced trim around the insert and cleaned up all their dust when done. I will definitely call them again next spring for my annual cleaning!"

Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.
Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.
Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.
Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.
Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
