Chimney Cleanings
Our Level II chimney cleanings remove creosote buildup and debris using no-dust equipment. Technicians inspect for blockages while maintaining fireplace efficiency. Regular cleanings prevent chimney fires and ensure safe operation for wood-burning systems.
Level II Inspections
Comprehensive video inspections examine flue liners, crowns, and internal components. We identify cracks, water damage, or animal intrusions. Inspections meet National Fire Protection Association standards for annual maintenance compliance.
Flue Repairs
We repair damaged flue tiles and replace corroded metal liners with stainless steel options. Our partial rebuilds restore structural integrity while meeting fire code requirements. Repairs include waterproofing to prevent future deterioration.
Weather Cap Installation
Our full-coverage caps prevent water intrusion, animal nesting, and debris accumulation. The combined crown-and-cap design protects against weather damage while maintaining proper ventilation for fireplace systems.
Partial Rebuilds
We rebuild deteriorated chimney sections using matching masonry materials. Services include repointing mortar joints and replacing damaged bricks. Rebuilds incorporate modern waterproofing techniques to extend chimney lifespan and maintain home value.
