What we take care of

The visit
Drop cloths down and a filtered vacuum at the firebox before a brush goes in.
The flue is brushed top to bottom; soot, creosote and anything nesting in it comes out.
Firebox, damper and flue looked over, and anything wrong shown to you.
Clean, checked and safe to light. That's the whole point.
Results
Drag across. This is what a proper repair changes on the roof you never see.

Local know-how
Cincinnati winters swing above and below freezing again and again. Water in the brick and crown freezes, expands and opens the cracks a little wider every time.
Fireplaces and stoves here run from October to April, so creosote builds faster than in milder places. A yearly sweep keeps it in check.
Many neighborhoods here have brick homes from before the war. Mortar that old wears out joint by joint; repointing in time keeps the bricks themselves sound.

Who we are
VIO CHIMNEY started in 2019 with one idea: looking after a chimney should be easy to book, honest about price, and done right the first time. We've spent every year since on chimneys and nothing else: sweeps, inspections, leaks and repairs, and the local know-how each place needs.
Reviews
“The whole process was really easy from start to finish. They showed up when they said they would, explained what they found, and didn't try to push anything I didn't need. The technician was friendly, professional, and left everything clean afterward. I'd definitely call them again.”

A call is fastest. Booking online takes about a minute.
The fire-safety standard, NFPA 211, calls for an inspection every year and a sweep whenever deposits build up. If you burn wood most winter evenings, that usually means once a year.
It's the tar-like residue wood smoke leaves inside the flue. It burns, so a thick layer is what turns a normal fire into a chimney fire. A sweep removes it.
Yes. While the flue is open, the pro looks over the firebox, damper and flue, and shows you anything that needs attention before you light the next fire.
Next-day appointments are available when you call or book today. Urgent jobs are called back first.
Yes, for a limited time. No cost and no obligation to book any repair.
The firebox, damper, flue, crown, cap and flashing. Anything that needs attention is shown to you, and any repair is quoted in writing first.
If you use the fireplace, a sweep: it includes a safety check while the flue is open. Buying or selling a home, or something looks wrong? Ask for an inspection.
Yes. Leaks, flashing, cracked crowns, caps, animals and crumbling masonry. You get the price in writing before any repair starts.
It shouldn't. The room is covered and a filtered vacuum runs at the firebox the whole time. If it isn't left the way it was found, tell us.
Yes. Pick a day and an arrival window when you book online, or leave it and we'll find a time on the call.
No. Booking is free, and nothing is owed for asking.
Call us. If there's smoke in the room or a carbon monoxide alarm, get everyone outside and call 911 first.
