Our Chimney Services
Chimney Cleaning
Chimney cleaning involves the thorough removal of hazardous substances that accumulate within the chimney over time. This process eliminates creosote, a highly flammable substance produced by the incomplete combustion of wood or fossil fuels. By eliminating this residue, chimney cleaning mitigates the risk of chimney fires, which can cause extensive property damage and endanger lives.
Inspections
During a professional chimney inspection, you will have experienced eyes on your system to check for creosote buildup, flue blockages, leaks, cracks, damage, and other issues that could cause costly problems or increase your risk of fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. This means you’ll know about (and can address) problems before you light a fire in your fireplace and put your family and home in danger – and before the damage becomes so great that repairs are time-consuming and expensive.
Brick Repair
Replacement brick will have similar aesthetic properties and, to a certain extent, similar physical properties to brick in the existing building. Typically brick replacements are used to repair existing brickwork or may be used where new brickwork is “toothed” or bonded into existing brickwork.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing repairs any gaps and helps seal the masonry to prevent water from further damaging your building. Gaps and cracks in mortar can be unsightly on the exterior of your building. The defective gaps will be grounded out 1/4 inches and refilled with new existing mortar. Tuckpointing is one of our essential chimney services.
Flashing Repair
FlashSeal is a versatile and easy-to-use flashing repair system that, when dry, forms a flexible, waterproof membrane. It’s formulated for permanent adhesion to asphalt shingles, metal flashings, brick, and other chimney and roofing materials. Use FlashSeal to solve problem leaks around the base of chimneys, stacks, and vents. It is also great for sealing around skylights.
Liner Installation
Also often referred to as a chimney liner, a flue liner is a flexible tube that runs up the entire length of your chimney, carrying the fumes up your flue liner instead of releasing them straight into your chimney cavity.
Flue Cap Installation
Without a chimney cap in place, all manner of debris can build up in your chimney. This increases the risk of the flue becoming blocked, leading to smoke and carbon monoxide backdrafting into the home.
Rebuilds
This is complete a total tear down of your chimney and will remove all bricks down to the flashing. Once down to the flashing, the technician will rebuild the chimney with the exact amount of layers, using the brick which most closely resembles the previous chimney.
Estimates
The technician will provide you a quote for the chimney services you need completed. They will provide all information as soon as possible and then send out a detailed estimate within 1-3 business days.
Chimney Sweeping
Chimney sweeping plays a vital role in maintaining optimal airflow and ventilation within your home. The accumulation of debris, such as animal nests, leaves, or other blockages, obstructs the passage of smoke and gases, potentially leading to hazardous backdrafts or poor indoor air quality. Through meticulous sweeping, these obstructions are removed, ensuring the smooth and efficient functioning of your fireplace or heating appliance.
