A clean chimney is a safe chimney, and we’ll keep yours as safe and efficient as it can be. We are certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America – a stringent industry certification held by only the best sweeps in the U.S. We remove flammable creosote from chimney flues, reducing the chance of a chimney fire. We also remove debris and obstructions that could hamper the drafting of smoke and carbon monoxide.

Chimney Inspections

Felgemacher Masonry & Chimney provides full-service chimney inspections including:

Level 1 inspection:

The basic inspection that covers all visible areas and components of your chimney. We recommend that Level 1 inspections be done once a year.

Level 2 inspection:

When your home is being sold
When a new appliance is being connected to the chimney or some other modification is being made
When a chimney fire or other event occurs that likely has caused damage

Level 2 inspections include the use of video technology to assess the condition of the inside of the flue.

Level 3 inspection:

These inspections are performed when a previous inspection has detected significant damage. A Level 3 inspection often includes the removal of sections of the chimney structure and adjacent building materials of the home.

Who We Are

Felgemacher Masonry & Chimney was founded by John Felgemacher in 1953, after he emigrated from Germany to the United States. John believed in delivering unmatched service and workmanship on every job, and he passed down his business ethics and expertise through two generations of his family.

Today, the company is run by John’s grandchildren, Eric Felgemacher, Kurt Felgemacher and Lisa Felgemacher. While we’ve expanded our service lines and brought in the latest advanced technology, one thing has not changed: we still treat every customer as the most important customer, and we stand behind our workmanship and service 100%.
