A chimney sweep in Media, PA should do more than brush the flue. It should find creosote, nesting material, loose debris, liner gaps, and draft problems before fireplace season or after a storm. Franklin Chimney uses an interior video scan and photo documentation to check the accessible flue, liner, smoke chamber, damper area, crown, cap, flashing, and masonry, then gives you a written report with labeled photos instead of a verbal guess.
Media homes bring a different chimney pattern than tight Philadelphia rowhomes. Older borough houses near State Street often have masonry stacks and clay tile liners that have been adapted over time. In Wallingford, Swarthmore, Rose Valley, Upper Providence, and Brookhaven, we often see shaded masonry, heavy tree cover, roofline leaks, storm-hit caps, cracked crowns, and older liners that need video-scan confirmation before use.
That is what makes the report useful: first-hand findings from the chimney in front of us, CSIA-certified inspection judgment, clear photos, and a written record you can keep for insurance, a buyer, or your own files. CSIA guidance follows NFPA 211, which says chimneys, fireplaces, and vents should be inspected at least once a year for soundness, deposits, and clearances.
Every service is CSIA-certified, fully insured, and documented with clear findings before work begins.

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!
