How safe is your chimney in North York?
Ten questions, about a minute. You get a 0-100 risk index, a three-tier action plan, and North York price context — no phone number needed to see your score.
Smoke pushing back into the room, a burning smell after a hot fire, or a CO alarm sounding is not a next-week problem. Our emergency line in North York is answered around the clock, and a technician is dispatched with a camera, containment gear, and the parts needed to make the appliance safe or safely shut it down.
What counts as an emergency
Smoke or CO entering the home, a chimney fire (even a small one), visible flames or sparks at the crown, a collapsed flue, or a strong burning smell after use. All of these get same-day dispatch in North York.
What we do on arrival
Isolate the appliance, camera the flue, check for cracked tiles and blockages, and either return the system to safe operation or tag it out with a written explanation of why.
After a chimney fire
A Level 2 inspection is mandatory before the appliance is used again. Cracked liner tiles and burnt mortar joints are invisible from the firebox but obvious on camera — and insurers require the documentation.

How the visit works in North York
- 1
Booking and arrival window
You get a two-hour arrival window and a text when the truck leaves the previous job in North York. No all-day waiting.
- 2
Setup and containment
Drop sheets, a sealed negative-air vacuum at the firebox, and shoe covers before any tool touches the flue. Your room stays clean.
- 3
Level 1 or Level 2 inspection
Camera scan of the full flue, smoke chamber, damper, and crown so we know what we are sweeping before we sweep it.
- 4
Mechanical sweep
Poly or wire rotary brushing sized to your flue, working creosote and soot down to the containment vacuum rather than into your living room.
- 5
Cap, crown and exterior check
We inspect the cap, crown, flashing, and mortar joints from the roof and photograph anything that will fail in the next Ontario winter.
- 6
Written report and photos
Emailed the same day: before/after photos, creosote grade, code notes, and a plain-English list of what needs doing and what does not.
What North York customers say
4.9 out of 5 from 743 reviews across the GTA. A selection relevant to this service below.
Small flue fire in January. They inspected, documented the damage, and coordinated the report with my insurer without me chasing anyone.
1920s brick, plenty of quirks. The technician clearly knew older builds and pointed out mortar joints to watch rather than pushing a rebuild.
Had to move my appointment once, but the sweep itself was excellent and the crown sealing has held through the winter with no water staining.
Previous company swept and said everything was fine. Diamond ran a camera and showed me a cracked liner tile on screen. Glad I got the second opinion.
Chimney Cleaning FAQs — North York
How fast can you get here in North York?
Emergency calls in North York are dispatched the same day, and overnight where a CO or active smoke-back risk exists.
My CO alarm went off. What now?
Leave the house, call 911 or your gas utility from outside, and do not re-enter until they clear it. Call us next — we will camera the venting and identify the cause.
Can I use the fireplace after a small chimney fire?
No. Even a brief flue fire can crack liner tiles. A Level 2 inspection in North York is required before the appliance is safe to use again.
Is there an after-hours surcharge?
After-hours dispatch is quoted before we roll — you approve the number first, always.
Do you work with insurers?
Yes. Our reports, photos, and technician certifications are formatted for Ontario insurance claims.
What if you find the chimney is unsafe?
We tag the appliance out of service, explain exactly why in writing, and quote the repair. You are never pressured to decide on the spot.
