Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterMeet the Leesburg Team Behind Level Two Chimney Leesburg
Most chimney companies in Loudoun County send whoever’s available. We don’t work that way. The crew that shows up at your door in Leesburg, Ashburn, or Purcellville is a team that’s swept and inspected thousands of local flues together. They know which 1980s Colonials in Exeter have the undersized flue tiles and which cap styles hold up to the wind coming off Catoctin Mountain. They’re background-checked, uniformed, and they answer to Corrine Halstead, Owner, who’s been running chimney work under the Haven Standard since 2009.
Our People
Marcus D. - Lead Technician, 14 Years in the Field
Marcus has cleaned and inspected more than 9,000 chimneys across Northern Virginia, most of them within a 25-minute drive of the Leesburg shop. He’s our NFPA 211 Level 2 camera-scan specialist, which means he’s the one threading the inspection camera past smoke shelves and through flue offsets on older homes in Waterford and Hamilton. Marcus came to chimney work from commercial HVAC, and it shows: he documents readings, photographs every finding, and explains himself in plain terms. Off the clock, he restores a 1972 Ford F-250 and refuses to discuss what it costs to fill the tank.
Sofia R. - Senior Installer, Liners and Rebuilds
Sofia leads our relining and rebuild work. She’s the one measuring flue dimensions, verifying clearances, and making sure a DuraFlex liner is sized to the actual chimney rather than whatever was quoted over the phone. Before joining Level Two, she spent six years doing masonry restoration in historic districts, which is why she’s the first call when a crown is spalled or a cricket needs repointing on an older home near the courthouse. She’s Matterport certified and keeps a running photo archive of every rebuild, from stripped shell to final cap. Her standard reply when a homeowner asks if a chimney “really needs all this” is to hand them the camera feed and let them look.
Priya N. - Service Coordinator, First Voice on the Phone
Priya answers the phone at (571) 601-3174, day or night. She’s lived in Leesburg for 18 years and can usually tell you whether a neighborhood’s chimneys were built with clay tile or stainless liner just from the street name. Her job is the part of the Haven Standard that most companies skip: she collects the details, schedules the exact technician for the job, and makes sure you get a text when the truck is on its way. Priya also builds the written price and scope before any work is scheduled, which means the crew arrives already knowing what’s been quoted. She keeps a notebook in her car for chimney sightings that look like trouble.
Andre W. - Apprentice Technician, Second Year
Andre came on after two years in residential construction and has been learning flue work the right way: on the roof, in the firebox, and behind a camera monitor. He runs support on sweeps and cap installs, manages tool staging, and handles the ground-level documentation while Marcus or Sofia work the flue. Andre grew up in Brambleton and still plays rec-league soccer there. He’s methodical to the point of teasing, which is exactly what you want from someone whose name goes on your job record.
One Standard, Every Job
The Haven Standard is a set of promises every tech carries onto every roof, and it’s the reason a job in Leesburg looks the same as one in Vienna or Reston. Clause 1 means a written price, written scope, and written warranty are in your hands before any work starts, never after the tech is already in your living room. Clause 4 requires a documented photo record on every visit, so when Marcus or Sofia tells you there’s Class III creosote glazing the smoke chamber or a hairline crack in a flue tile, you’re looking at the same image they are, not taking a sales pitch on faith. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and licenses are shown on the page. Materials come from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, bought through a network that exists to keep parts pricing honest. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to everything: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Corrine’s been operating under this standard since 2009. It’s not optional, and it’s not marketing copy. It’s the job.
