DMV Chimney did an excellent job cleaning our chimney. They arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and left the area spotless when they were done. The whole process was smooth and professional. We’ll definitely be using them again for yearly maintenance.

We hired DMV Chimney for a chimney crown rebuild, and the results came out great. They explained the damage we had, showed us what needed to be fixed, and completed the work professionally. The chimney looks much better now, and we feel much more confident about its condition.

Alex did an amazing job. He provided great communication throughout the entire process, as he had to order a few parts for the chimney. He was very prompt both times he came to the house. He was very careful and clean while working in the house and on the roof. I will always use DMV Chimney Services for my chimney and fireplace needs. Alex cleaned my chimney and added a chimney cap. He did great work and I couldn’t be happier.

Complete Chimney Services for DMV Homeowners
Your chimney system protects your home by safely venting smoke, heat, and combustion gases. Over time, exposure to weather and regular use can lead to creosote buildup, masonry deterioration, and venting issues that require professional attention. We provide comprehensive chimney services, including:
Chimney Sweep & Annual Cleaning
Annual chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup that can cause chimney fires. Our process includes full flue brushing, smoke chamber inspection, and draft testing to ensure safe and efficient operation. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends inspection at least once per year for active fireplaces.
Chimney Repair & Masonry Restoration
We repair cracked crowns, deteriorated mortar joints, flashing leaks, and structural chimney damage. Services include tuckpointing, crown rebuilds, waterproofing, and smoke chamber parging. All repairs include before-and-after documentation and warranty options.
Stainless Steel Chimney Liners
UL-1777 compliant stainless steel liners improve draft and help prevent gas leakage. Proper sizing and insulation are essential for furnace and water heater venting systems. We install code-compliant liner systems designed for long-term durability.
Why Annual Chimney Maintenance Matters
Chimney systems operate in high-heat, high-moisture environments. Without regular maintenance, problems can develop that affect both safety and efficiency.
Routine inspection and cleaning help:
- Reduce chimney fire risk
- Improve draft and airflow
- Prevent carbon monoxide issues caused by venting failure
- Protect masonry from water damage
- Extend the lifespan of your chimney system
Addressing small issues early prevents costly structural repairs later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my chimney cleaned?
For active fireplaces, the NFPA recommends having your chimney inspected at least once per year and cleaned as needed. Annual chimney cleaning helps remove creosote buildup and reduces the risk of chimney fires.
What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a flammable residue that forms inside the chimney flue when wood burns. If it builds up, it can ignite and cause a chimney fire. Professional sweeping removes creosote and restores safer airflow.
What’s included in your chimney sweep service?
Our chimney sweep process includes full flue brushing, a smoke chamber inspection, and draft testing to verify proper airflow and safe operation.
Do you perform chimney inspections with the cleaning?
Yes. We perform a visual safety inspection of accessible components during service and share clear findings. If repairs are needed, we provide written recommendations and options.
What are common signs my chimney needs repair?
Common signs include leaking around the chimney, cracked or missing mortar joints, spalling bricks, crown damage, rusted components, smoke backing into the home, or strong fireplace odors.
Can a damaged chimney liner cause safety issues?
Yes. A damaged or improperly sized liner can lead to poor draft and potential gas leakage. Stainless steel chimney liners are often essential for safe furnace and water heater venting systems.
Do you install stainless steel chimney liners for furnaces and water heaters?
Yes. We install UL-1777 compliant stainless steel liner systems. Proper sizing and insulation are used when required to support long-term durability and code compliance.
Do I need a chimney cap?
In most cases, yes. Chimney caps help prevent water intrusion, keep animals and debris out, and protect the flue and chimney structure from damage.
Do you provide before-and-after documentation?
Yes. Our repairs include before-and-after photo documentation so you can clearly see what was corrected.
Do your repairs include a warranty?
Warranty options are available depending on the repair type and materials used. We’ll explain warranty coverage clearly in your estimate.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia, including Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Bethesda, Silver Spring, and Rockville.
