Our CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps use state-of-the-art equipment to inspect and sweep both first- and second-story chimneys. We are able to service any chimney configuration, including oil, wood, and gas-burning applications. While sweeping your system, we ensure that it’s in working order. We look for any problems that can impede peak performance and recommend corrections for your system. We also pressure wash chimney exteriors. Learn more about our chimney inspection and cleaning services.
Improperly built crowns are a common problem. If yours is cracked or poorly constructed — allowing water penetration or posing a fire hazard — we may build a concrete one that’s guaranteed not to crack. In most cases we will simply seal the crown with the best material available, unless the damage is too severe.
We use “Flash Seal” which is a long-lasting repair system designed to stop leaks. We use Flash Seal on leaks specifically originating at faulty or deteriorated flashings around chimneys, stacks, and vents.
In addition to servicing chimneys, we inspect and clean dryer vents in one- and two-story homes.
A thorough sweep by one of our dryer exhaust technicians includes inspection for issues that might interfere with optimal operation. Highly effective diagnostic
tools allow us to detect and resolve issues before they become more serious problems.
The best way to prevent rain, snow, animals, leaves, debris, and moisture from entering your chimney is to install a chimney cap. Our high-quality stainless steel chimney caps carry a lifetime warranty. Learn more about our chimney cap and cover services.
Using a drill, rods, and chains (a special rotary cleaning device) we can remove heavy deposits of creosote from the inner walls of the flue where standard metal wire brushes cannot. The Roto-Cleaning method is more expensive and only recommended if standard cleaning methods fail. The client will be informed if such methods are needed, as Roto-Cleaning is time consuming. Roto-Cleaning is generally the best solution for conditions of poor burning habits or a neglected flue.
Leaky or damaged chase tops, particularly those made of masonry, are potential hazards for prefabricated metal fireplaces. We help eliminate problems before they start by replacing crumbling masonry and rusty metal chase tops. We may be able to sand, paint, and seal chase tops to extend life and appearance, this will also help keep costs down.
Should your chimney require a new liner, our chimney care professionals install high quality stainless steel liners and related components to accommodate wood burning, oil, and gas appliances or fireplaces. All of our liners carry a Lifetime Warranty and are transferable to the next homeowner, provided you have your new liner inspected once a year and have a certified chimney technician sign the warranty form provided.
