Chimney Sweeping
- Chimney CleaningCleaning the flue, smoke chamber and firebox of masonry and factory-built chimneys, so the flue drafts well and burns safely.
- Chimney InspectionA level 1, 2 or 3 review of the full chimney system to catch cracks, blockages and leaks before they turn into hazards.
- Creosote RemovalRemoving flaky, crunchy and glazed creosote from chimney flues before it can fuel a chimney fire.
- Fireplace CleaningCleaning ash, soot and debris out of the firebox, damper, smoke shelf, grate and glass doors, with the face of the fireplace cleaned too.
- Chimney Animal RemovalRemoving birds, raccoons, squirrels and nests from fireplace and stove chimneys, then capping the top so they cannot return.
- Chimney Odor RemovalTracking down the creosote, moisture or animal behind a smelly fireplace whether the smell shows up in summer heat or after rain.
Masonry Repair

- Chimney Leak RepairStopping chimney leaks at the source, before the water rots framing or ruins the flue.
- Chimney Flashing RepairFixing loose, rusted or tar-patched flashing around the chimney, so rain runs off instead of into the attic.
- Chimney Crown RepairRepairing the concrete slab that caps the top of the chimney, before freeze-thaw damage spreads down the chimney.
- Chimney Masonry RepairBrick and mortar repair for weathered or damaged chimneys, before freeze-thaw damage spreads.
- Chimney TuckpointingGrinding out worn mortar joints and packing them with fresh, matched mortar, so rain stops getting in through the joints.
- Chimney RebuildingTaking down failing masonry and rebuilding the chimney with new brick, flue, crown and flashing, so it is solid, dry and safe to use again.
- Chimney WaterproofingTreating chimney brick and mortar with a breathable water repellent, applied after repairs so the brick sheds water but can still dry out.
- Chimney Fire Damage RepairFinding and fixing the cracked tiles, warped metal and damaged masonry a chimney fire leaves behind with a camera scan, liner repair or a full reline.
