Traditions Chimney Sweeps – A Company Built on the Tradition of Fire Prevention
Traditions Chimney Sweeps has been part of the Mount Airy, MD community for years, serving local families, farms, and neighbors with chimney and fireplace care rooted in real firefighter experience.
The company was built on the principles of fire prevention, honesty, and skilled craftsmanship – values that remain at the center of every job today. From sweeping and inspections to relining, leak repair, tuckpointing, and full masonry restoration, the focus is always on dependable service that protects homes and keeps hearths ready for family gatherings season after season.
Our History
Traditions Chimney Sweeps was founded by career firefighters who understood firsthand the dangers of chimney neglect. The earliest services focused on sweeping and inspections, with a commitment to ensuring that no household would face unnecessary fire hazards. Over time, those services grew to include relining, waterproofing, masonry repair, and advanced restoration methods like HeatShield® and Ahren-Fire.
That growth has never been about offering more for the sake of it. Every service added along the way has answered a real need noticed in the homes of customers throughout Maryland. What started as a focus on prevention has expanded into a full-service approach that protects homes from the top of the chimney stack to the firebox.
In recent years, craftsmanship has become an even greater part of the story. By reclaiming historic barn wood and transforming it into mantels and surrounds, our team now provides custom features that tie the warmth of a fire to the character of the home. With custom doors and screens also available, families can enjoy both improved safety and a finished look that matches their style.
Our Mission
The mission of Traditions Chimney Sweeps is simple: provide trustworthy service that keeps households protected while also respecting the importance of customer care. Every appointment is approached with thoroughness and honesty, with time set aside to perform the work properly and answer questions along the way.
The company remains committed to balancing tradition and progress. Traditional values – honesty, reliability, and respect for customers – remain the foundation. Progress shows up in ongoing training, the latest inspection technology, electronic reporting, and the clean service practices used inside every home. That balance ensures homeowners receive both the quality of service expected in the past and the modern precision required today.
