Chimney Inspection FAQ
Learn how our inspection process works and why it's essential for homeowners in Scotch Plains, NJ.
Can you remove animals from a Scotch Plains chimney?
Yes — raccoons, squirrels, birds, and wasps are the main four. Standard scope: live removal where possible, sweep and sanitize the affected flue and firebox, then install a properly screened cap to block re-entry. We don't work active wasp colonies until they're treated.
There's a creosote or smoke smell in the house even when we're not using the fireplace.
Off-season creosote smell usually means humid air is hitting buildup inside the flue and releasing odor down through the damper. The fix is a thorough sweep, a flue deodorizer, and a top-sealing damper. Scotch Plains homes get this call regularly in humid shoulder season.
We smell gas when our gas fireplace is running.
Stop using the fireplace and call us. A gas smell points to an incomplete burn or a fitting leak — either is a safety issue. We inspect the burner, pilot, gas valve, vent path, and the chimney for downdraft, and hand off to the gas company if the leak is on the utility side of the meter.
Can you come today or tomorrow to Scotch Plains?
Same-day and next-day is our default for most inspections and sweeps. Peak burn-season weeks (late October through January) book up fastest, so book early when you can. Message us your Scotch Plains address and we'll give you the earliest realistic window.
Do you service my Scotch Plains neighborhood or ZIP?
Yes if you're in our service area. We dispatch across Scotch Plains daily, including ZIPs 07076. Tell us your ZIP and we'll confirm coverage on the spot.
Do you work with property managers, HOAs, landlords, and realtors?
Yes to all. We bill management companies directly, run portfolio pricing for multi-unit owners, handle pilot-light relight and tenant walkthroughs, and do realtor-mediated pre-close inspections and inspection-response repairs.
