Annual Chimney Inspection
An annual chimney inspection is essential to ensure your chimney, vents, and attached heating appliances like the fireplace, insert, or stove is safe to operate. Felgemacher Masonry & Chimney is owner-certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). It is your assurance that our trained technicians are fully qualified to perform all three levels of inspections per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) industry standards.
Ridgemont, NY Chimney Cleaning
Your chimney is vital for ensuring the safe removal of smoke and harmful contaminants from your home's gas or wood-burning fireplace. Creosote, soot, small animals, nests, leaves, and debris can accumulate inside the flue. So, hiring our professional chimney sweep to clean the chimney every year will help ensure that smoke and poisonous carbon monoxide exhaust don't back up into your home. Creosote is highly flammable; its removal is crucial to prevent chimney fires that can spread throughout your home.
Chimney Repairs
At an elevation nearly 800' above sea level, Ridgemont gets its share of rain and snow in the winter with warm summers. These seasonal weather changes, along with the constant freezing and thawing during the winter, can damage the masonry, flue liner, damper, and other internal components requiring repair. Chimney rebuilding may be necessary when severe damage occurs due to significant weather or neglect.
Chimney Liners
Are you tired of having to repair your aging flue liner frequently? While clay or terra cotta liners are among the most popular, they don't hold up well to the climate in the Carolinas. That's why we typically recommend installing a UL-Listed stainless-steel chimney liner when the time comes. In addition to greater energy efficiency, it is naturally water and rust-resistant and easier to clean
and maintain with less sooty buildup.
