Professional chimney cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup that causes 2,100F chimney fires. Our technicians eliminate soot, debris, and blockages while inspecting for structural issues. Regular maintenance prevents house fires and ensures proper ventilation for wood, gas, and pellet-burning systems.
Fireplace Repair
We restore damaged fireplaces through mortar repointing, crown replacement, and water sealing. Our repairs address cracks, leaks, and structural weaknesses in brick-and-mortar chimneys. We install rain caps, spark arrestors, and flashing to prevent future damage while maintaining code compliance.
