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 New Albany Homes Are Different
New Albany’s housing stock splits into two very different chimney profiles. The older village homes, many built between 1920 and 1960 along Dublin-Granville Road and Johnstown Road, often have unlined masonry flues, shallow fireboxes, and clay tile liners that have been absorbing decades of Ohio freeze-thaw cycling. The newer estate homes and New Albany Country Club communities, by contrast, sit on larger wooded lots where taller chimneys catch more wind and where multi-flue systems serve both fireplaces and gas appliances.
Central Ohio winters push moisture into brick and mortar, and New Albany’s mix of mature hardwood canopies means leaves, twigs, and squirrel nesting material find their way into uncapped flues faster than in open-lot developments. Homes near the Rocky Fork and Rose Run creek corridors hold more ambient dampness against the chimney exterior, which accelerates spalling, the flaking of brick faces, on older stacks. Those conditions change how often a sweep is needed and what an inspection will turn up.
Our Main New Albany Services
Most calls from New Albany homeowners start with a sweep and an inspection, and a repair is what follows when the findings call for it. Each service has its own New Albany page with pricing, scope, and what to expect.
Chimney Sweep in New Albany
A Chimney Sweep in New Albany removes creosote, soot, and debris from the flue, smoke shelf, and firebox. In New Albany’s wooded neighborhoods, we regularly pull out squirrel nests, acorns, and leaf wads that a simple visual check from the hearth won’t reveal. Every sweep includes floor protection, a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and a written condition note on anything we see while the brush is in the flue. The page covers pricing, timing, and what a sweep includes in New Albany specifically.
Chimney Inspection in New Albany
A Chimney Inspection in New Albany is a documented evaluation of the flue, crown, cap, firebox, and masonry, performed with camera equipment so you can see exactly what we see. For New Albany homes changing hands, this is the inspection that satisfies both buyer and seller without a sales pitch. For older village homes, it’s how we confirm whether a clay-tile liner is still intact before burning season. The page explains the three inspection levels and what each one covers.
Chimney Repair in New Albany
Chimney Repair in New Albany covers everything from crown sealing and cap replacement to full flue relining, which means replacing the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house. Repairs in New Albany are quoted in writing before any work begins, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee valid for one full year from the service date. If a covered repair fails in that window, we return at no charge. The page walks through common New Albany repair scopes and their price ranges.

In New Albany, pricing moves upward when a chimney is tall, steep-pitched, or surrounded by mature trees that make ladder and scaffold setup harder. Multi-flue systems on larger estate homes also cost more because there’s more liner or crown area to address.
