The Chimney Department Ltd. is a full-service chimney cleaning, repair, inspection and restoration company.
As a result of the destruction caused by chimney and dryer vent fires, the Chimney Department, Ltd. began as a one-man chimney sweep operation in 1980.
The Chimney Department offers chimney sweeping, chimney inspections, dryer vent cleaning, chimney and fireplace tuckpointing, chimney relining, waterproofing, cap, crown and screen installations, animal removal, smoking and odor problem correction.
As owner and operator (and professional firefighter) Dieter Bové had seen first hand, the damage these types of fires can cause. He realized that chimney fires started because there was a void of information on chimney and fireplace maintenance and safety, for homeowners.
In 1985 Dieter Bové was certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America and the National Chimney Sweep Guild. He soon became a local authority on the installation and maintenance of solid fuel appliances.
By 2006, the Chimney Department’s service crew has 45 years of combined professional experience in chimney sweeping, maintenance and repair, as well as, firefighting.
