Yes. We use HEPA-filtered chimney vacuums sealed at the firebox so soot and creosote can't escape into your living space. Floors and the hearth get tarped and the mantel protected — standard on every job, not an add-on.

On request, yes — we run an in-flue camera and send you the clips. Every standard inspection includes still photos of the firebox, smoke chamber, liner, cap, and crown; a full video pass is available as a documentation add-on, especially useful when buying or selling.

A typical single-chimney inspection plus standard sweep runs 1.5 to 3 hours. Heavy-creosote deep sweeps, multi-chimney homes, and inspection-plus-repair visits can take longer. We give you a window when we book.

Where we list it on a page, yes — CSIA certification is the industry standard for chimney sweeps and we carry it where required. We're licensed where required and fully insured, with a certificate of insurance available before the visit. Ask us when you book your Somerset job.
