Services
Chimney Repair
Specializing in comprehensive chimney repairs, including tuckpointing, crown restoration, and structural fixes. Our CSIA-certified technicians diagnose issues like cracked liners or water damage, using advanced tools for precision. We prioritize long-term solutions, offering lifetime warranties on select repairs to ensure safety and durability for residential chimneys.
Chimney Liners
We install stainless steel liners to protect masonry chimneys from acidic flue gases. Our FireGuard system repairs damaged mortar joints without full relining, reducing costs by up to 50%. Patented ceramic mortar applications ensure gas-tight seals, complying with NFPA 211 standards for safety and efficiency in wood or gas fireplace systems.
Fireplace Cleaning
Our rotary cleaning removes creosote buildup, including hazardous Stage 3 deposits. Every service includes a Level 2 video inspection to identify hidden risks. We use ChimneySaver products for safe soot stain removal and offer Timburn fire starters to reduce chimney fire risks between cleanings.
Chimney Inspections
We conduct Level 2 video inspections with CSIA-certified technicians, identifying cracks, blockages, or water damage. Required for property sales or after chimney fires, our inspections meet NFPA 211 standards. We provide real-time video feedback and detailed repair cost estimates during initial visits.
Smoke Chamber Repairs
We repair smoke chambers using heat-resistant materials to prevent gas leaks. Our patented FireGuard system restores damaged mortar joints without dismantling masonry, ensuring compliance with local building codes. Repairs come with 25-year warranties and are often covered by homeowners insurance after chimney fires.
