FAQ
Questions we get every fall
How often should a chimney be swept?
- Have the chimney inspected every year and cleaned when the inspection shows it is needed. Fuel, usage, deposits and the condition of the venting system all affect the cleaning schedule.
How much does a chimney sweep or repair cost?
- Prices vary with the chimney. An open flue in a Hamilton rowhome is not the same job as a crown rebuild in Pikesville. We look first, then give you a firm up-front quote. Call (443) 486-3406 for a quote on your home.
Do you really inspect for free?
- Yes. The visual inspection and the written quote are free with no obligation. Formal Level 2 inspections for a home sale are a separate scheduled service, and we tell you the price before we book it.
Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes. Baltimore Chimney Co is licensed and insured. Ask us for the applicable documentation when you schedule service.
How soon can you come out?
- The phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Appointment timing depends on the issue, ZIP code and current schedule, so tell us what is happening and we will give you the available options.
Get it swept before the first freeze
Damp falls and freeze-thaw winters are hard on old Baltimore brick. A free inspection now beats a crown rebuild in January.
