Yes. The three common sources are a failed or missing cap, a cracked crown, or a flashing failure where the chimney meets the roof (often more than one). The inspection identifies which, and cap, crown, and flashing can usually be done on a single repair visit.

Yes — we're the three together: chimney sweep, air duct cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning. Ask for a bundle and we'll discount the second and third service. Most Bernards customers end up doing at least two of the three.

Yes. We use HEPA-filtered chimney vacuums sealed at the firebox so soot and creosote can't escape into your living space. Floors and the hearth get tarped and the mantel protected — standard on every job, not an add-on.

On request, yes — we run an in-flue camera and send you the clips. Every standard inspection includes still photos of the firebox, smoke chamber, liner, cap, and crown; a full video pass is available as a documentation add-on, especially useful when buying or selling.

A typical single-chimney inspection plus standard sweep runs 1.5 to 3 hours. Heavy-creosote deep sweeps, multi-chimney homes, and inspection-plus-repair visits can take longer. We give you a window when we book.

Where we list it on a page, yes — CSIA certification is the industry standard for chimney sweeps and we carry it where required. We're licensed where required and fully insured, with a certificate of insurance available before the visit. Ask us when you book your Bernards job.
