We’re Your Certified Chimney & Fireplace Experts in Occoquan, VA
Chimney Sweep: Chimney Cleaning, Chimney Inspection, Chimney Maintenance, & Chimney Repair Services
Occoquan is a nineteenth-century mill town on the river that shares its name, and its historic core holds some of the oldest masonry in our service area. River-town humidity works on brick and mortar year-round, and many Occoquan chimneys have been standing since long before anyone wrote a code for them. Preserving these older stacks — and keeping the town’s newer homes just as safe — is work we take real pride in.
We carry CCP (Certified Chimney Professional) and CCR (Certified Chimney Reliner) certifications and apply the NFPA 211 standard with the judgment historic masonry demands. Occoquan’s older chimneys were laid with soft brick and lime mortar; assessing and repairing them without damaging them is a specialist’s job, not a handyman’s.

Chimney Inspections Fireplace Inspections
Level 1, 2, and 3 inspections under NFPA 211. For Occoquan’s historic homes we document original construction details and their condition — knowledge that matters to owners, insurers, and anyone maintaining a home older than the standards it is judged by.
Chimney Cleaning & Fireplace Cleaning
Gentle, thorough sweeping suited to older flues, with removal of every creosote stage including glaze. Long-serving chimneys carry heavy, hardened deposits, and moisture off the river keeps flue surfaces damp enough to accelerate both creosote adhesion and masonry wear.
Chimney Repair & Fireplace Repair
Repointing with mortar matched to the age of the brick, crown and cap restoration, and water management for chimneys that have weathered a century or more of river-valley damp. Hard modern mortar on soft historic brick causes spalling — we repair old masonry the right way.
Chimney Re-lining
Relining is often the safest path for a historic Occoquan flue: a FireGuard ceramic or stainless steel liner seals and protects the original masonry while making the fireplace genuinely usable, not just decorative.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Older Occoquan homes vent dryers through walls that were never meant for it, and damp air makes lint cling harder. We clean the full run, check the termination, and make sure the vent actually clears the house.
