Signs Your Chimney Needs Professional Service
A chimney doesn’t fail without warning. It shows itself through cracks, stains, smoke, rust and other visible or detectable changes. Paying attention to those changes is how you know something needs a closer look. Keep an eye out for:
- Cracked or missing bricks
- Leaning or separation from the roofline
- White, chalky staining on the brick
- Rust inside the firebox or the damper
- Smoke or odor from the fireplace when it’s not in use
- Discoloration or bubbling on nearby walls and ceilings
Our Comprehensive Chimney Services
We provide chimney services that address both visible damage and the underlying issues. Our team inspects your chimney first, explains what we find and recommends the service that fits your home.
Chimney Inspections
We inspect the chimney system from the firebox to the crown, including brick, mortar joints, damper and roofline connection. Using a camera scan, we inspect the interior of the flue to identify the source of the problem. The findings determine which of the services below actually apply to your chimney.
Chimney Sweep and Cleaning
Our chimney cleaning services help clear buildup and keep your system functioning properly. We remove creosote and soot buildup from the flue using brushes and vacuum equipment, and clear out animal nests or debris.
Chimney Repair
Our chimney repair services address cracked brick, deteriorating mortar, damaged crowns, leaks and other common issues. We focus on fixing the source of the damage so your chimney is restored for long-term performance, not just patched on the surface.
Chimney Tuckpointing
Our experts restore failing mortar joints through careful tuckpointing, which strengthens the chimney and helps preserve its appearance. We match the new mortar to your existing chimney as closely as possible so the finished repair blends naturally with your home.
Chimney Rebuilds
We rebuild damaged chimney sections when repairs are not enough to restore stability. Our team uses matched materials and proven masonry methods to correct leaning, crumbling or severely damaged chimneys.
Chimney Relining
When the liner is cracked or improperly installed, we replace it with a new flue liner and ensure it’s sized for the specific appliance or fireplace it serves. Relining helps protect the surrounding masonry from heat and combustion byproducts.
