Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Why Leesburg Homes Are Different
Leesburg sits in the Potomac River valley, and the town’s oldest chimneys were built with lime mortar that softens over time in Virginia’s freeze-thaw winters. When temperatures swing from the 20s at night to the 40s by afternoon, water seeps into hairline cracks, freezes, expands, and widens those cracks. Older homes along Cornwall Street and Loudoun Street need pointed, sympathetic masonry work after a decade of those cycles. Meanwhile, newer construction off Battlefield Parkway and in Meadowbrook tends to have prefabricated chimneys with stainless liners that rust at the flashing points, especially where roof pitches meet dormers. HOA communities like Lansdowne and River Creek often require an inspection before any exterior chimney work can start, and they’ll ask for documentation. We provide written reports that satisfy those requests without a second trip. Another Leesburg reality: many older homes have fireplaces that were sealed or converted when oil or gas came through, and homeowners aren’t sure what’s behind the drywall. That’s exactly the kind of question a camera inspection answers without guesswork.
Our Main Leesburg Services
Most Leesburg homeowners call us for one of three things, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and detail.
Chimney Sweep in Leesburg
A standard chimney sweep in Leesburg removes the creosote and soot that build up inside the flue and smoke chamber, then we hand-vacuum the firebox and leave a drop cloth under the whole work area. In Leesburg’s older homes, we often find that a flue hasn’t been swept since the house changed hands, which means the glaze on the flue tiles has gone from sticky to hard and flaky. That’s a real fire risk, and the fix usually lands between $189 and $260 for a straightforward cleaning. Full details, including what we find during a typical Leesburg sweep, are on the Chimney Sweep in Leesburg page.
Chimney Inspection in Leesburg
Leesburg homebuyers and owners in historic districts especially lean on our inspection service before closing or before their first fire of the season. An inspection in Leesburg starts at $179 and includes a camera run through the full flue, so you see what we see, and a written report with photographs. If you’re under contract on a home near Ida Lee Park or over in Fox Chase, the inspection report gives you a documented condition of the chimney before the purchase moves forward. Read the Chimney Inspection in Leesburg page for step-by-step detail and camera photos of what a typical inspection turns up.
Chimney Repair in Leesburg
Leesburg’s older brick chimneys most often need crown repair or repointing, and prefabricated units need flashing and chase cover work as they approach their 15- to 20-year mark. Every repair we write up in Leesburg carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for one full year, and if a covered repair fails within that period, we come back at no charge. Repair work in Leesburg typically starts around $300 and depends on what the camera inspection finds. See the Chimney Repair in Leesburg page for the sub-jobs and their price ranges.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Leesburg
Most Leesburg appointments are scheduled within two to five business days for non-urgent work. If your chimney is actively smoking into the house or you smell gas, call (830) 251-4560 at any hour, and a live person will help you decide whether to shut the damper, stop using the fireplace, or schedule an urgent visit.
Many Leesburg HOA communities, including Lansdowne and River Creek, require written documentation of chimney condition before approving exterior repairs. We provide a written inspection report with photographs that satisfies those review requirements, typically without any extra trip or fee beyond the inspection itself.
No, and that’s an important distinction for Leesburg buyers. A general home inspector gives the chimney a visual once-over from the roof and firebox. Our inspection runs a camera through the full flue and inside the smoke chamber, which is where most hidden fire risks and liner damage actually live. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate on the right inspection for your situation.
