Homeowners in Derby, NY, and all of Erie County have relied on Felgemacher Masonry & Chimney since 1953 for all their chimney and fireplace needs. Let us show you how we can keep your system clean, safe and working at its best.
Derby Chimney Sweeping
Chimneys for wood-burning fireplaces need professional sweeping once a year to remove flammable creosote and debris buildups.
Creosote is the #1 cause of chimney fires in the Derby, NY, area each year. Leaves, twigs, animal nests and the occasional dead animal can narrow the flue and send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your home.
Let us sweep your chimney to ensure safety and top performance.
Chimney Caps and Chase Tops
Chimney caps for masonry chimneys and chase tops for manufactured chimneys are critical safety components. They both prevent water and debris from getting into the chimney system and causing damage.
In some cases, we can repair damaged or rusted caps and tops. In many cases, it’s best to replace the component with a new one. For chimney cap replacements, we recommend custom full-width chimney caps, which also guard the chimney crown.
Chimney Inspections Derby NY
Keeping your Derby chimney safe and in good repair begins with a basic annual inspection. Our crew provides these inspections as well as inspections for unique circumstances, such as:
- When a chimney fire or other event may have damaged the chimney
- When severe damage is known to exist
- When you’re altering your venting system
- When you’re selling your home
A yearly chimney safety inspection can turn up early signs of problems so they can be fixed before they become dangerous.
