Chimney Service
We offer a wide variety of chimney services nationwide. Whether you need a chimney sweep, repair, service, or inspection, we are your one stop chimney service!
Chimney Sweep
Chimney sweeping is an essential chimney service because it prevents chimney fires. When creosote builds up in the chimney thicker than 1/8 inch, it is dangerous and can also cause damage to the chimney.
Our experts will make sure that your home stays safe by performing a chimney sweep. We will get your chimney cleaned for you making sure that no mess is left behind. We are always careful to place protective sheets over all areas, and our powerful vacuums with fine filters will trap the filth safely away.
You can be confident that we will take care of your home as if it was our own. Give us a call for a chimney service or chimney sweeping quote!
Chimney Inspection
The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 says, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.”
A chimney inspection will let you know if there are unsafe levels of creosote build-up in your chimney or if an animal has built a nest inside. It’s also important to check the chimney structure and make sure that the fireplace has no significant cracks and is safe to use.
Our chimney service experts will do a thorough inspection, making sure your chimney meets all fire and safety standards.
Chimney Repair
There are a wide array of reasons your chimney might be needing a repair.
Chimney Crown Repair
It is common that the chimney crown can become cracked or damaged as it becomes older. This can allow rainwater to seep into the chimney and result in damage to the bricks or mortar. Over time, this can cause loose bricks and the chimney may need rebuilding.
Chimney maintenance such as crown repair or applying a sealer to the crown can help ensure many more years of use.
Chimney Firebox Repair
When cracks and gaps inside the firebox develop, a repair should be performed. Sometimes it’s possible to patch the cracks. If the cracks are too large, a chimney mason will need to perform a larger repair or rebuild the firebox entirely.
Chimney Damper Repair
Over time and use, chimney dampers stop sealing or working completely. The damper helps with insulation, keeping warm air in during the winter, and hot air out during the summer months. A broken damper causes drafts and noise to enter the house.
One of our popular services is the installation of a top sealing damper in the chimney flue. The top sealing damper stops drafts and noise and also prevents bees from nesting in your chimney.
Chimney Cap Repair and Installation
A chimney cap or flue cap is vital for protecting your roof from catching fire. Without a chimney cap, sparks from your fireplace can work your way out the chimney and start fires. We install chimney wind caps or regular chimney caps that meet all local regulations.
Fire Screen Repair and Installation
A fire screen protects the inside of your house from sparks and embers. Running the fireplace without a screen could easily start a fire. Over years of use, fire screens can warp or become damaged. We repair, replace, and install new fireplace screens.
Fireplace Heat Shield Repair and Installation
A heat shield protects the walls of your firebox and reduces the heat on the back walls. This can greatly extend the life of your firebox and prevent damage from occurring. Our chimney service experts will install, repair or replace fireplace heat shields.
Chimney Cleaning
Chimney cleaning should be done after after the winter season each year. Creosote, a brown or black fluffy material which is a byproduct of burning wood or manufactured logs in your fireplace, causes fires.
Our chimney cleaners clean and inspect your chimney for you and help keep your family and home safe.
