How Clients Rate Our Chimney Service

Professional Chimney Masonry

Once there are openings in the mortar between the bricks of a chimney, water from rain and snow has an easy path inside. The freeze/thaw cycle will cause further damage, often to the point that water now runs into the flue and causes internal deterioration.

Severely damaged chimneys are unsafe to use or live around, and it’s not uncommon for extensive mortar decay to cause the entire structure to literally collapse. But before collapse, usually we find damage in many areas including the bricks, the chimney liner, the roof and vulnerable building materials of the home.

For any chimney repair project, you’ll get better, longer-lasting results by hiring chimney repair experts rather than attempting to do it yourself. Chimneys are a lot more complicated than they look and are best serviced by individuals with the necessary training and hands-on experience.

Quality Chimney Inspections

Chimney sweep service often includes a chimney inspection.  By having your chimney inspected once a year along with cleaning, you’ll be able to detect early signs of damage and get them repaired before they become big, expensive issues.

We utilize a camera with chimney inspections to get a good visual of your flue interior. This advanced video technology that allows us to see in real-time the exact condition of your chimney liner and/or interior chimney masonry.

Do You Have a Leaky Chimney?

Your chimney masonry and its components function in a way that allows your fireplace to operate safely and efficiently. They also work together to keep water out of the system. A leaky chimney means there is a compromise somewhere within the chimney.

Some causes for a leaky chimney entail masonry deterioration, faulty flashing, chimney cap or chase cover damage, cracks in the chimney crown and more.

Your leaky chimney doesn’t have to turn into serious trouble. Call our chimney experts for a professional chimney inspection and skilled chimney leak repair.
