Chimney Sweeping
Without regular sweeping, creosote buildup can restrict airflow and lead to chimney fires. Blockages from leaves, animal nests, or other debris can also increase the risk of carbon monoxide leaks.
Pellet Stoves & Installation
We specialize in selling and installing high-quality pellet stoves that bring warmth, efficiency, and style to your home. Stop by our retail store to see our wide selection of industry-leading pellet stove brands, designed to suit various home sizes and heating needs.
Chimney Liners
A damaged or improperly installed chimney liner can lead to chimney fires, as heat and creosote can ignite in the chimney’s interior. Additionally, cracks in the liner can allow carbon monoxide to seep into your living space, posing a serious health risk.
CO2 Issues
A malfunctioning chimney can lead to dangerous CO2 leaks in your home, causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and, in severe cases, even death. We diagnose and resolve CO2 issues through thorough inspections, expert repairs, and preventative maintenance. Our technicians ensure your chimney is functioning safely and efficiently, protecting your home and family from these serious risks.
Chimney Caps & Crowns
Without a cap, rainwater can enter your chimney, causing rust and masonry damage. Animals can also enter, creating blockages or nests that can lead to fire hazards. A damaged crown can allow water to penetrate the chimney’s structure, leading to costly repairs.
Masonry Repairs
Regular masonry maintenance prevents small issues, like cracks, from becoming major structural problems. Well-maintained masonry protects your home from fire hazards and ensures your chimney’s longevity.
Video Camera Inspections for Chimney
Without regular inspections, small issues can go unnoticed and escalate into major, costly repairs. Video camera inspections provide clarity and ensure the chimney is operating safely and efficiently. They also help prevent chimney fires caused by excessive creosote or other blockages.
FAQs About Chimney Services
Your Chimney Service Questions Answered
How often should I have my chimney swept?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends having your chimney inspected and swept at least once a year, especially if you use your fireplace or stove regularly. Annual cleanings help remove creosote buildup, prevent chimney fires, and ensure safe operation.
What are the signs that my chimney liner needs replacement?
Signs of a damaged chimney liner include crumbling mortar, visible cracks, unusual odors, or poor draft performance. A professional inspection can confirm whether repairs or replacement are necessary to maintain safety and efficiency.
How can I tell if my chimney cap or crown needs repair?
If you notice water leaks, rust on your fireplace or stove, or debris falling into your chimney, your cap or crown may need attention. Regular inspections help identify issues early, preventing costly water damage and blockages.
Do I need a chimney inspection if I don’t use my fireplace often?
Chimney inspections ensure that your system is free of obstructions, damage, or deterioration that can pose safety risks. Even unused chimneys can develop structural issues or harbor pests. So yes, we recommend an annual inspection as this is a critical part of home maintenance.
What should I expect during a video camera chimney inspection?
A video camera inspection involves using specialized equipment to examine the interior of your chimney. This allows professionals to identify hidden damage, blockages, or creosote buildup. It’s a thorough method for ensuring your chimney is in top condition.
