The national standard (NFPA 211) is an inspection at least once a year, with cleaning whenever creosote or debris has built up. Homes that burn wood often may need cleaning more than once a season.
Creosote is a tar-like residue left by wood smoke. It builds up inside the flue and is highly flammable — it is the main fuel behind chimney fires.
Yes. A chimney can look fine from the street and still have a cracked liner or water damage. An inspection before closing protects you from expensive surprises.
The usual causes are failed flashing, a cracked crown, a missing cap or porous brick and mortar. We find the actual source before recommending a fix.
Removing worn, cracked mortar from the joints and replacing it with fresh mortar matched in color and strength. It stops water getting in and makes old brick look new again.
If the brick is sound and the stack is straight, we repair. If bricks are spalling badly or the chimney leans, a partial rebuild from the roofline is usually the safer, longer-lasting choice.
Yes — exterior stone, stone veneer, stone fireplaces and custom masonry features, indoors and out.
Yes. We repair fireboxes, smoke chambers and hearths, and reface or build new stone fireplaces.
Common causes are a blocked flue, a damper problem, a flue that is too short or the wrong size, or a house that is too airtight. An inspection pinpoints which one it is.
