Chimney Sweeping
- Chimney CleaningSweeping soot and creosote out of masonry and factory-built chimneys, so the flue drafts well and burns safely.
- Chimney InspectionA top to bottom check of the chimney, inside and outside to catch cracks, blockages and leaks before they turn into hazards.
- Creosote RemovalClearing stage 1, 2 and 3 creosote from fireplace and stove flues before it can fuel a chimney fire.
- Fireplace CleaningCleaning ash, soot and debris out of wood-burning fireplaces, from the hearth to the damper, and checked for cracks or damage.
- Chimney Animal RemovalRemoving birds, raccoons, squirrels and nests from the flue, smoke shelf and damper, with the timing and method matched to the animal.
- Chimney Odor RemovalGetting rid of the campfire, musty or rotten smell coming from a chimney so the room stops smelling like an old ashtray.
Masonry Repair
- Chimney RepairFixing cracked crowns, failing mortar, loose brick, leaky flashing and damaged flue tiles, matched to what an inspection actually finds.
- Chimney Leak RepairFinding and stopping water that gets in through the crown, cap, flashing or brick, before the water rots framing or ruins the flue.
- Chimney Flashing RepairFixing loose, rusted or tar-patched flashing around the chimney, with proper metal work instead of another coat of tar.
- Chimney Crown RepairSealing cracked chimney crowns or rebuilding crumbling ones, before freeze-thaw damage spreads down the chimney.
- Chimney Masonry RepairRepairing spalled brick, crumbling mortar, cracks and loose courses on masonry chimneys, before freeze-thaw damage spreads.
- Chimney TuckpointingReplacing crumbling mortar between chimney bricks, before loose brick starts to shift.
- Chimney RebuildingTaking down failing masonry and rebuilding the chimney with new brick, flue, crown and flashing, when patching no longer makes sense.
- Chimney WaterproofingProtecting chimney masonry from rain with a penetrating repellent, applied after repairs so the brick sheds water but can still dry out.

- Firebox RepairRestoring a damaged firebox with firebrick, refractory mortar or new panels before heat can reach the framing behind it.

Chimney Parts
