Common Questions

Soot Removal FAQ

Your soot removal questions answered by the experts at Penn Hills Chimney Sweep.

I'm a listing agent in Penn Hills and get this flag on a third of my deals - can we set up a standing arrangement?

Yes. We pre-flight chimneys on your new listings, prioritize your closing-driven inspections, and bill on a portfolio basis. Message us with your listing volume and we'll set you up with a dedicated dispatch contact.

There's an animal in my Penn Hills chimney - what's your process?

Standard protocol: confirm the species, do live removal where possible (or extract after the animal exits), sweep and sanitize the contaminated flue and firebox, then install a properly screened cap so re-entry is blocked. Raccoons, squirrels, birds, and wasps are the most common.

Can you remove a raccoon and then clean and cap the chimney?

Yes - that exact bundle (live removal, sweep and sanitize the flue and firebox, then a screened cap install) is one of our most common Penn Hills calls. Call us once the animal is out and we'll dispatch, usually within a day or two.

There's a bird or a bird's nest in the chimney - can you clear it and stop it happening again?

Yes. We remove the nest, sweep and sanitize the flue, and install a properly screened cap - the only durable prevention. During nesting season for protected species like chimney swifts we wait for fledging before clearing.

We hear scratching and smell something from the firebox - is that an animal?

Usually yes - animal sounds, droppings, or a foul smell from the firebox point to an animal or nest in the flue. We confirm the species, remove it, sanitize, and cap. Don't light a fire until it's cleared and inspected.

There are wasps in the chimney - can you handle that?

We don't work an active wasp colony until it's treated. Once the colony is dealt with, we sweep and sanitize the contaminated flue and install a screened cap to seal the entry point.
