Chimney Sweeping FAQ
Answers to frequently asked questions about chimney sweeping in Somerset, NJ.
We're converting from a wood-burning fireplace to a gas insert — do we need a Level 2?
Yes, per NFPA 211 — changing the appliance attached to the flue triggers a Level 2 requirement. We inspect the chimney for fitness for the new fuel type, document with video, and provide the report your installer and inspector will need.
I'm a listing agent in Somerset and get this flag on a third of my deals — can we set up a standing arrangement?
Yes. We pre-flight chimneys on your new listings, prioritize your closing-driven inspections, and bill on a portfolio basis. Message us with your listing volume and we'll set you up with a dedicated dispatch contact.
There's an animal in my Somerset chimney — what's your process?
Standard protocol: confirm the species, do live removal where possible (or extract after the animal exits), sweep and sanitize the contaminated flue and firebox, then install a properly screened cap so re-entry is blocked. Raccoons, squirrels, birds, and wasps are the most common.
Can you remove a raccoon and then clean and cap the chimney?
Yes — that exact bundle (live removal, sweep and sanitize the flue and firebox, then a screened cap install) is one of our most common Somerset calls. Call us once the animal is out and we'll dispatch, usually within a day or two.
There's a bird or a bird's nest in the chimney — can you clear it and stop it happening again?
Yes. We remove the nest, sweep and sanitize the flue, and install a properly screened cap — the only durable prevention. During nesting season for protected species like chimney swifts we wait for fledging before clearing.
We hear scratching and smell something from the firebox — is that an animal?
Usually yes — animal sounds, droppings, or a foul smell from the firebox point to an animal or nest in the flue. We confirm the species, remove it, sanitize, and cap. Don't light a fire until it's cleared and inspected.
