Rochester’s Choice For All Chimney Services
The primary function of a chimney is to provide a safe pathway for venting smoke and harmful gases while enjoying your gas or wood-burning fireplace. Therefore, your chimney and heating appliance will need periodic inspections, cleaning, and chimney repairs for safe operation.
Felgemacher Masonry & Chimney of Rochester is owner-certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). Our professional chimney sweeps provide the best possible service experience in the Greater Rochester metropolitan area and surrounding communities.
Chimney Inspection
How do you know if your chimney, fireplace, or other attached heating appliance is structurally sound and free of hazardous materials? An annual chimney inspection, of course. Our chimney sweep will also
let you know whether your chimney needs cleaning. We perform all three levels of inspection per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards:
Level I:
This is the standard annual inspection that most Monroe County homeowners need. It includes a visual internal and external examination of the chimney, vents, and attached heating appliances.
Level II:
This includes a Level 1 inspection, plus a video scan of the flue to look for abnormalities that may not be visible to the naked eye. A level 2 inspection is necessary upon selling your residence, installing a new appliance, or modifying an existing heating appliance or fuel source. It is also required after a significant weather event like a tropical storm, hurricane, etc.
Level III:
A level 3 inspection is necessary when the chimney sweep when a level 1 or 2 inspection reveals that significant damage has occurred in an area of the chimney that is not
readily accessible. It may require the removal of a component or a portion of the structure to locate and repair the damage.
Rochester Chimney Cleaning
A chimney inspection and cleaning are essential for keeping your home and family safe around gas or wood-burning heating appliances. Of course, how often your chimney needs sweeping depends on how frequently it is in use. Still, we recommend cleaning at least once a year to remove flammable creosote, animal nests, and debris that can start a devastating fire or cause a dangerous flue obstruction.
