Confirm who maintains the flue
In a condo, ask whether the fireplace and flue belong to your unit or the association. If the flue is shared or the building controls roof access, provide the authorized contact before we schedule.
Request fireplace and flue cleaning for an accessible wood-burning system in Arlington. Tell us whether you’re booking for a detached home, a townhome, or a condo so we can plan the work around entry and building rules.
If your building uses a concierge or has limited contractor hours, send the check-in instructions and who can grant access. For a house or townhome, a photo of the hearth and a description of the closest entrance help us plan where to stage the equipment.
Include the fireplace count, fuel type, last known cleaning, and any odor, visible buildup, or access concern in your request. Our team confirms availability and the work covered by your quote.

In a condo, ask whether the fireplace and flue belong to your unit or the association. If the flue is shared or the building controls roof access, provide the authorized contact before we schedule.
If the service history is unknown, send any inspection notes you received and explain whether you intend to use the fireplace. We’ll discuss what a sweep and visual review cover and when you need a separate assessment.
Tell us about loading areas, stairs, service elevators, or approved contractor windows. If a tenant will meet the crew, include who can authorize the scope and receive the visit notes.
Confirm the fireplace and flue being serviced, protect the work area, and review accessible conditions. Tell us about prior repairs or unfamiliar equipment before the visit.
Clean accessible soot and buildup using tools appropriate to the agreed system and access. Heavy deposits, blockages, or inaccessible sections may require a different scope and separate approval.
Review accessible findings and available service notes or photos. A sweep does not include liner repair, masonry work, cap installation, or gas-appliance maintenance unless separately specified and available.
Read our chimney sweeping service overview or browse the chimney care guide.
Ask management who maintains the flue and whether outside contractors are allowed. The DMV team can then confirm the fireplace type, permission, and access before quoting.
Tell us how long it has been unused and what you know about its condition. We can review whether a sweep and accessible visual review fit the request, or whether you should arrange a separate inspection.
Select both services in the form. We’ll review the fireplace and dryer exhaust separately and confirm whether the crew can complete both during one visit.
No. Our chimney/flue cleaning scope does not include inspection, repair, or maintenance of gas burners, valves, pilot assemblies, or other gas-system components.
We provide a property-specific quote after confirming the fireplace count, condition, and access. There is no fixed price advertised here. Additional work requires your approval.
No. Sweeping and an accessible visual review are not a structural certification or a substitute for a separately specified inspection. We explain the limits of the visit and any concerns observed.
