A chimney sweep in Center City removes creosote, animal blockages, and loose debris, then verifies the flue liner and damper draft with an interior video scan and photo documentation. For owners and property managers, every inspection includes a written report with photos that an HOA, insurer, or buyer's agent can reference. Same-day slots open most weeks.
Center City packs three different chimney eras into a few square miles. Pre-war townhouses around Rittenhouse and Washington squares carry original clay tile flues. Mid-century high-rises stacked dozens of units onto shared masonry stacks. More recent rehabs converted wood fireplaces to gas inserts behind new drywall, which means the relining work is hidden from view. Each layer creates a different inspection problem, and the fix only works when the technician knows which generation of building you are walking into.
Property managers, condo boards, and individual owners use chimney inspection reports for unit sales, insurance renewals, and post-renovation sign-off. A CSIA certification is the credential most boards and underwriters expect to see on those reports. Our technicians carry it, write reports in plain language, and label every photo so anyone reviewing the file later can find what they need. That is what a Center City inspection should look like.
Every service is CSIA-certified, fully insured, and locked to the price we quote.

Very happy with the work Franklin did at my house. Came out and gave an estimate and had work done same day. The crew cleaned, capped, pointed three chimneys and added a very stubborn flue connected to the boiler.
Selling my house, and I wanted the chimney inspected They found an issue, and they were able to fix it super fast! Good people!
Franklin Chimney did a wonderful job fixing my chimney and putting in a stainless-steel liner and cap on top of my chimney. They came out quickly for an estimate and did the work in the same week. They were very professional and explained everything they would be doing before the job started. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality service. Thank you for making this such a great experience!
I had an emergency situation that needed immediate help. Franklin chimney came the next morning and estimated the job for me. The estimate was totally in line with the research other companies that I had done and Franklin came out the next day to do the job. I am so relieved to have this major problem in my house corrected. They were great communicators, on time, clean, fair, professional, and did a great job I could not recommend them more.

We needed a level 2 chimney inspection on a quick timeline for our HOA. Franklin Chimney came out in less than 48 hours. Booking was very easy and price was significantly better than competitors. Our technician Madi was very efficient and made sure we had the report we needed.
Tony was honest, excellent, and professional in my home. Strongly recommend
A great experience. The workmanship was exceptional and the pricing was way under other estimates. No overselling and high quality finish work. Count me very happy.

I called Franklin Chimney when I noticed flies coming out of my wood burning stove. Maty was here within an hour. He sent a drone up on my roof and discovered a few holes in the mesh that was easy access for birds or squirrels to enter. He sent 2 guys out the next day. They were friendly, efficient and fast. They removed 4 birds and a squirrel. Put a new cap on chimney and sealed it off with mesh. They were done in about 2 hours. I highly recommend Franklin Chimney....thank you for doing a great job!
