Services
Every service below is performed by an experienced technician, documented with photos and finished with a clean workspace. Licensed, insured and open daily 8am-8pm.
A full soot and creosote sweep of the flue, smoke chamber and firebox using sealed vacuums, so your fireplace drafts properly and burns safely all winter.
A documented inspection of the chimney structure, liner and connections. Ideal before a home sale, after a chimney fire, or as annual maintenance.
Cracked tiles, deteriorated liners and damaged flues are repaired or relined to restore a safe, code-compliant venting path for your fireplace or heating appliance.
Water is the fastest way to destroy a chimney. We install caps, rebuild crowns and reseal flashing so rain, snow and animals stay out of the flue.
Failing mortar joints let water into the chimney stack and speed up freeze-thaw damage. We grind out and repoint joints and rebuild deteriorated brickwork.
Wood-burning and gas fireplaces are cleaned, checked and tuned so they light easily, vent correctly and look presentable in your living space.
FAQ
Most homes need a chimney sweeping once a year. Annual sweeping keeps creosote from building to dangerous levels and gives a technician the chance to catch damage early. If you burn wood several times a week through the winter, or you burn unseasoned wood, a mid-season cleaning is often worthwhile.
Creosote is the tar-like residue left behind when wood smoke cools and condenses inside the flue, and it is highly flammable. Once it builds into a thick or glazed layer, a single hot fire or stray ember can ignite it inside the chimney. Regular sweeping removes that fuel before it becomes a hazard.
A chimney inspection covers the full venting system: the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue liner, crown, cap, flashing and exterior masonry. We document what we find with photographs and explain which items are safety issues and which are simply maintenance, so you can make an informed decision.
Water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney, a damp or musty smell from the fireplace, loose mortar or tile fragments in the firebox, white staining on the exterior brick, and smoke pushing back into the room all point to a damaged crown or liner. Any of these should be inspected before the next fire.
Cost depends on the type of work, the height and access of the chimney, the number of flues and the condition of the masonry. A routine sweeping is a straightforward flat job, while relining, crown rebuilds and repointing are priced by materials and scope. We inspect first and give an honest, itemized price before any work starts.
