Owned and Operated by Firefighters

Our team is made up of current and former firefighters who have spent years identifying fire risks and helping homeowners stay safe. Our company is Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)-certified, so you can trust our services. Our sweeps follow CSIA standards and remain up to date on local fire and building codes, best practices for safe burning and venting, and tools and techniques for modern and traditional chimney systems.

Lake Wylie’s Source for Chimney Sweep Services

Our sweep service helps prevent system strain and keeps homes running efficiently by removing creosote and obstructions.

Creosote forms naturally when wood burns. If airflow is limited or fuel isn’t fully combusted, the buildup accelerates. Level 1 and 2 creosote can usually be brushed away. Level 3 is thick and glazed, making it the most flammable. Our team uses industry-standard equipment to remove this buildup. We also check for and remove bird nests, leaf and twig buildup and moisture-related debris.

At Smoke Alert, we recommend sweeping your chimney once a year. If you use it frequently, you might need to clean it twice a year.

CERTIFIED CHIMNEY SWEEP

Our CSIA certified sweeps use a power sweep system which is much more powerful than traditional sweeping along with an industrial HEPA vacuum so there is ZERO MESS.

Lake Wylie Chimney Inspections

Routine chimney inspections help keep your fireplace efficient and safe. We evaluate the following components during inspections:

Cap
Flue
Crown
Masonry
Damper
Firebox

If you’re planning on modifying your fireplace or chimney or have recently moved into a home with an existing system, we recommend scheduling an appointment to make sure everything is working as it should.

Chimney Repair and Installation

Smoke Alert Home Fire Safety also provides a range of chimney repairs in Lake Wylie, NC, to help restore and protect your system. We offer complete structural support for chimneys. Our technicians address deteriorating materials, correct cracks and fix blockages. Count on us for:

Crown repair: We’ll repair or replace the crown of your chimney to stop water intrusion.
Chimney cap installation: Our team will replace the cap to shield the flue from moisture, debris and pests.

I had not used Smoke Alert before today. I’ve had trouble finding qualified technicians willing to come out to work on our Monessen direct vent fireplace. Brandon was excellent and went straight to work. He fixed the issue of the fireplace shutting off and researched what was needed to permanently fix the problem. I’m very happy with the service and had a great experience.

All of my interactions with this company have been excellent. With a family of fire fighters and other public servants, I love that this company is owned and operated by the same people! Charlie was professional, efficient, and provided very helpful information. Thank you so much. Great to have a company you trust.

An amazing experience when I set up a visit to clean my Dryer vent. They announced ahead of time their arrival time so I could corral the dogs, hide the dirty clothes and be ready when they arrived. They were on time and studied the vent issue and quickly cleaned the vent back to its original new condition. As the process was going on Charlie explained the reason for the lent buildup, how to maintain a clean vent and other things required to keep things safe. I was extremely pleased with the service and will keep them on a recurring schedule. Thanks for keeping us safe!

He was thorough, explained our options and answered all our questions. We highly recommend smoke alert for all of your fireplace and fire prevention needs.
