When it comes to the safety and comfort of your home, your fireplace and chimney should never be overlooked. A properly maintained chimney not only helps your fireplace perform more efficiently, but it also protects your family from dangerous creosote buildup, chimney fires, smoke damage, and costly structural repairs. For more than 40 years, homeowners have trusted A-1 Rooftop Chimney Sweep, Inc. because we combine old-fashioned customer service with today's industry-leading products, equipment, and inspection technology.

Every home is different, which is why we carefully inspect each system and explain our findings in plain language. We believe educated homeowners make better decisions, and we never recommend services you don't need.



Whether your fireplace is your home's primary heat source or simply creates a cozy atmosphere during the colder months, routine maintenance helps ensure it operates safely and efficiently. Our technicians proudly serve homeowners throughout Chewelah, Spokane, Spokane Valley, Deer Park, Newport, Liberty Lake, Medical Lake, Airway Heights, Cheney, Mead, and communities across North Idaho, delivering dependable workmanship backed by decades of experience.

Your chimney works hard every time you light a fire. As wood burns, it produces smoke, soot, and creosote, a highly combustible residue that coats the inside of your chimney. Over time, this buildup restricts airflow and dramatically increases the risk of a chimney fire. One of the most important steps homeowners can take is scheduling an annual chimney cleaning performed by a qualified professional.

Our professional chimney sweeping service removes dangerous deposits while allowing us to inspect your chimney for hidden issues that may not be visible from the ground. During every visit, we evaluate the condition of your chimney liner, masonry, crown, flashing, chimney cap, damper, and firebox. If we discover any concerns, we'll explain exactly what we found and discuss the best options for repair.

A clean chimney also burns more efficiently. Proper airflow allows your fireplace or wood stove to draft correctly, reducing smoke inside your home while improving heating performance. If you've noticed that your chimney smells like smoke, your wood stove is not drafting properly, or your fireplace isn't performing like it once did, a professional inspection can often identify the cause before it becomes a larger problem.

Our comprehensive chimney inspection services include Level 1 visual chimney inspections, Level 2 chimney camera inspections, and Level 3 chimney video scans. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we can examine areas of your chimney system that may not be visible during a standard inspection. Our thorough inspections can help identify cracked or damaged liners, hidden obstructions, creosote buildup, moisture intrusion, deterioration, and structural concerns before they become more serious and costly.
