A chimney sweep in Fishtown checks the flue liner, smoke chamber, and damper, then clears creosote, animal nests, and loose debris from your chimney. For the rowhomes and twins from Frankford Avenue to Lehigh, every inspection comes with an interior video scan, photo documentation, and a written report that real-estate agents, inspectors, and first-time buyers can hand off without translation.
Fishtown and Kensington's housing stock is two layers deep. The original 1920s twin homes and late-1800s industrial rowhomes still carry clay tile liners that have moved through coal, oil, and gas. Layered on top is the rehab generation: three-story new-build infill that runs gas inserts and direct-vent appliances through chimneys finished behind fresh drywall. Both layers create issues that a documented Level 2 inspection is built to catch.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual chimney inspection for any home that vents an appliance or burns wood. Buyers and sellers in Fishtown and Kensington use that same recommendation as the trigger for a pre-purchase Level 2 inspection, the kind that catches a cracked liner before it shows up on the closing-day punch list. Our reports include date, technician name, CSIA credential, and clear photos so the document does the work without follow-up.
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.
Thanks you for Franklin chimney for a wonderful job, they did the chimney liner professional and clean job
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!
