Professional chimney sweeping, inspection and repair across Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk and Hampton Roads. Remove creosote, check structural integrity, and keep your fireplace safe all season.
Every fire you've ever burned in your fireplace has left behind creosote — a tar-like residue that coats the inside of your flue. Once creosote builds up, it becomes one of the most flammable substances in your home.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual chimney inspection for every fireplace, regardless of how often it's used. Wood-burning, gas, and pellet stoves all benefit.
Air of America provides full sweeping, inspection, cap and damper checks, and minor repair recommendations. We work with homeowners across Virginia Beach, Norfolk and beyond.
