Services
Alpine Chimney Sweep is a full service chimney company. All of our services are considered 'essential' and we take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety and ours. Sweeping a chimney is a necessary maintenance task recommended to prevent creosote buildup - a precursor to chimney fires - as well as ash and soot buildup.
We are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America and use the national codes and standards to guide our inspection procedures. The National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of American recommend annual inspections of your chimney and venting system to prevent chimney fires, carbon monoxide intrusion and other chimney safety related hazards.
Sweeping a chimney is a necessary maintenance task recommended to prevent creosote buildup - a precursor to chimney fires - as well as ash and soot buildup. A swept chimney also draws more efficiently. During the sweeping process we use specialized brushes and hand tools to remove all creosote, ash, soot, and/or debris from the chimney, smoke chamber, fire box, damper and smoke shelf.
For safety's sake, please stop using your fireplace, wood stove, or gas stove 12 hours prior to our arrival. We need to work on an appliance that is completely cool. Make sure that there is reasonable access to the roof and a clear space for our ladders as well as a working outlet for our vacuum. During the winter, please shovel your walkway and/or driveway so that our technicians can safely move their ladders and other equipment.
The last piece of the top most part of a factory-built chimney pipe system, which serves the purpose of arresting sparks, keeping water out of the flue, and providing an outlet for cooling air on air-cooled chimney system. A custom-made flashing that keeps water out of the chimney chase and home while providing an opening for the pipe termination.

Janie and her staff were excellent. I had service done previously by another vendor and they left my fireplace in non working order. Janie found the issue very quickly and fixed the problem . They also looked at 2 other fireplaces in my house and fixed a second one. Janie and her staff are very knowledgeable and professional. The provided effective and efficient service at a fair price. The best service I have ever had for my fireplaces . Give them a try you will not be disappointed. Excellent all arround !

Alpine recently cleaned our chimney and I would highly recommend their services. Brian and Michael were on time and efficient, they took preventative measures to ensure our living room didn't get dirty and cleaned up afterwards. I had a number of questions regarding the chimney in our old home (1925) and they provided honest and knowledgeable answers. Great service!
