Services
Annual Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup that causes 30% of home heating fires. Our CSIA-certified technicians perform complete sweeps of masonry, prefabricated, and gas fireplaces while conducting full structural inspections. Each service includes video diagnostics to identify hidden issues like flue liner damage or blockages, preventing potential $5,000+ repair costs through early detection.
Chimney Repair
We specialize in comprehensive chimney repairs addressing tuckpointing, crown resurfacing, and flashing restoration. Our technicians fix mortar deterioration that causes water intrusion responsible for 65% of chimney structural failures. Using fiber-based mortars and stainless steel components, we restore chimney integrity while preventing future weather-related damage that could compromise home safety.
Fireplace Repair
Our fireplace repair services address smoke chamber parging, firebox restoration, and refractory panel replacement. We correct construction defects in older fireplaces that create fire hazards through creosote accumulation. Technicians install proper liners and perform precision tuckpointing to eliminate gaps that allow dangerous carbon monoxide leakage into living spaces.
Waterproofing
Our multi-layer waterproofing system prevents water intrusion that causes 80% of chimney deterioration. Services include crown resurfacing with silicone-based sealants, stainless steel chase cover installation, and exterior mortar restoration. These measures protect against freeze-thaw cycle damage that typically costs homeowners $2,500+ in annual repairs across Central Ohio's variable climate.
Caps & Covers
We install custom chimney caps and multi-flue covers that prevent animal intrusion and water entry. Our stainless steel solutions stop 90% of chimney fire incidents caused by ember escape while maintaining proper draft. Top damper installations improve energy efficiency by reducing heat loss through unused chimneys by up to 14% during Ohio winters.
