Sweeping, Repair and Care
Newer homes are built to hold in heat, and that tightness can quietly compete with a fireplace. Exhaust fans, a dryer and a furnace all pull air from inside the house, and the chimney sometimes loses that tug of war. Chimney Sweep Pitt Meadows looks at the whole picture during a Chimney Sweep, including whether the fireplace has enough air to draw. Our Gas Fireplace Cleaning and Gas Fireplace Maintenance also take vent and combustion air into account. In Pitt Meadows, sealed houses are common, and so are the small adjustments that help.
After the flue is clean, we consider how fans, appliances and a tight building envelope affect the way smoke rises, and suggest simple ways to help the chimney win.
Direct-vent units draw air in and push exhaust out through paired pipes. We check both runs are open and sealed, so the flame gets what it needs.

Rainwater started dripping beside our fireplace during storms, so I called Chimney Sweep Pitt Meadows to inspect the chimney at our home in Central Meadows. They replaced the damaged flashing, sealed the joints, and tested everything carefully. I am so relieved the leak is finally gone.
We kept hearing scratching sounds above the fireplace at our place in North Meadows. Chimney Sweep Pitt Meadows found a bird nest blocking the flue, removed it safely, cleaned the chimney, and installed a protective cap. Their thoughtful work gave our family real peace of mind.
Several firebox panels had developed deep cracks, and I was worried about using the fireplace again. Chimney Sweep Pitt Meadows replaced the damaged refractory panels, checked the surrounding masonry, and confirmed the unit was safe. I truly appreciate their careful and reassuring service.
Smoke began spilling into the living room whenever we lit a fire at our townhouse in South Meadows. Chimney Sweep Pitt Meadows discovered a poorly fitted damper, corrected its alignment, cleared the flue, and tested the draft. The fireplace now burns cleanly without filling the room with smoke.
White stains were spreading across the chimney bricks, and I feared the masonry was deteriorating. Chimney Sweep Pitt Meadows identified trapped moisture, replaced weakened mortar, and applied a breathable waterproof treatment. The chimney looks refreshed, and I am grateful they prevented more serious damage.
After pieces of mortar fell onto the roof at our house near West Meadows, I contacted Chimney Sweep Pitt Meadows for help. Their crew rebuilt the crumbling chimney crown, sealed several gaps, and cleaned away every fragment. I was impressed by how safely and neatly they handled the repair.
Bendable rods follow offsets and long runs, carrying a brush up through the flue without forcing it around corners.
A spinning head loosens stubborn glaze that hand brushing leaves behind, with bristles chosen to suit the flue material.
A sealed, filtered vacuum pulls soot out of the firebox, so fine dust stays out of the air in the room.
A small camera on a pole or cable shows hidden tiles, joints and bends on a screen, so findings can be seen instead of described.
For quick looks, an angled mirror and a strong light reveal the damper, smoke shelf and flue walls without taking anything apart.
Floors, hearths and furniture are covered before work starts, which keeps a messy job from leaving a mark on the rest of the home.
Not every Canadian winter is white. In damp, mild regions the chimney faces constant moisture, long wet spells and moss on the roof rather than deep snow. The answers below suit homes like that, covering masonry, metal and everything in between. Tell us about your house in Pitt Meadows and we will point you to the advice that fits.
