Annual Chimney Inspection
If you haven’t done so already, now is an excellent time to give us a call to schedule your annual chimney inspection. It is the only way to know that your fireplace, chimney, and vents are not fire, health, or structural hazard.
Owner-certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), our trained and knowledgeable chimney technicians are qualified to provide all three inspection levels, following industry-standard guidelines established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). A condition report will also let you know whether repairs or cleaning are necessary to ensure your heating appliances’ safe and continued operation.
West Henrietta, NY Chimney Sweep & Cleaning
Even though your chimney may have a functioning chimney cap or chase cover, soot, creosote, bird’s nests, twigs, and debris can build up inside the flue. In addition to being a fire hazard, it can also obstruct the venting of harmful contaminants. When this happens, smoke, soot, and hot debris can fill up inside your home. Also, the heat from smoldering embers can ignite the creosote, causing a chimney fire that can cause significant property damage if it spreads to the roof, attic, and other spaces in your home.
Chimney Repairs
The skilled masons and expert chimney technicians at Felgemacher Masonry & Chimney have decades of experience providing quality masonry, flue liner, damper, and other chimney repairs in the YoCo, Western York County, West Henrietta, and Metrolina areas. So, if you notice one or more of the following issues, please get in touch with us as soon as possible to avoid more extensive damage to the chimney, flue, and attached heating appliances.
- Damaged chimney chase cover or cap: Many chimney caps and chase covers are manufactured with low-grade galvanized steel, prone to rusting. This can allow water to enter the chimney, where it can damage the flue liner, damper, firebox, and other internal components.
- Efflorescence: This is when a white or powdery stain appears as streaks across masonry sections, indicating moisture penetrating deep inside the brick layers.
- Spalling bricks: When bricks and mortar absorb moisture, the porous material softens, making it vulnerable to cracking, flaking, crumbling, and separating from the chimney. It increases the risk of fire and exposure to toxic carbon monoxide fumes, ultimately destabilizing the stack and requiring a partial or complete rebuilding.
- Warped flashing: The flashing creates an airtight seal where the chimney and roofline meet. When the flashing is warping, rusting, or improperly installed, moisture can seep through the gaps and damage your attic, roof deck, ceiling, and walls around the fireplace.
