01Chimney Inspections

Camera-assisted inspections of the flue, liner, crown and firebox, with a clear written summary. Ideal before buying a home, after a chimney fire, or before you start using a fireplace again.
02Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning
Careful removal of soot and creosote that restrict draft and raise fire risk. We protect your floors and leave the hearth clean.
03Chimney Repair
Repairs for cracked crowns, damaged flashing, failing mortar joints and leaks, so water stays out of your chimney and your home.
04Flue Liner Installation
Stainless steel and cast-in-place liner options that protect masonry, improve draft and keep combustion gases inside the flue.
05Chimney Caps & Animal Guards
Properly sized caps that block rain, debris and wildlife while letting smoke exit freely.
06Masonry Restoration & Rebuilds

Tuckpointing, brick replacement and partial or full rebuilds that return an aging chimney to a safe, solid condition.
How often should a chimney be serviced?
Most fireplaces should be inspected once a year and swept as needed, depending on how often you burn. Call us if you notice smoke entering the room, a strong odor, water stains near the fireplace, or debris in the firebox.
