Chimney Services
There are several factors that contribute to the natural wear and tear of a chimney over time. The quality of its construction plays a significant role in extending its lifespan. If the chimney's bricks, mortar, concrete, or flue tiles become cracked or damaged, water infiltration may occur. this moisture can lead to significant roof leaks and further deterioration of the chimney's structural integrity.
​
Additionally, the more damaged your flue tiles and liner become from water damage, the higher the risk of dangerous carbon monoxide gases becoming trapped in the chimney. These gases could then backflow into the home, posing serious health and safety hazards. this increases the likelihood of a potential house fire.
​
If you are uncertain about the condition of your chimney, we strongly recommend scheduling a professional inspection. Ensuring that your chimney is in optimal working order is crucial for the safety and well-being of your home and its occupants. Please do not hesitate to contact us for a comprehensive inspection.
Cleaning and Inspecting
We charge $325 per fireplace/unit to be cleaned and this includes a basic safety inspection. Inspections without cleanings are $250 per unit.
Tuckpointing/Rebuild
It’s important to address chimney maintenance to ensure safety and longevity. Tuckpointing is ideal for minor cracks in the mortar joints, where old mortar is ground back and replaced with new. However, a chimney rebuild is necessary when there are significant cracks or when bricks are popping off. Ignoring these issues can lead to water damage, compromising the chimney and liner system, which poses serious health risks and fire hazards.
Stainless Steel Liner
Stainless steel liners are essential for effectively venting gases from your fireplace and appliances outside. When these liners are in proper condition, they prevent gas accumulation in the chimney, minimizing the risk of backflow into your living space, which can cause serious hazards house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Moreover, these liners help maintain the structural integrity of chimney by reducing wear and tear on the brick and mortar. Regular maintenance of your stainless steel liner is vital for the safety and longevity of your home.
Concrete Crown
Concrete crowns play a crucial role in safeguarding your chimney from moisture. A cracked crown can lead to water infiltration, causing significant damage to the brick, mortar, liner, and flue tiles. In the accompanying image, our skilled mason demonstrates the process of removing a concrete cap during a chimney rebuild, highlighting the importance of maintaining this protective feature. Ensure your chimney stays in top shape by scheduling an annual inspection.
Chase Cover
Chase covers are used to help shed water off the top of a chimney. Chase covers are used on wood framed chimneys. If the cover is rusted, this is an indication of standing water, and there is a good chance it needs replacement. We do not install galvanized covers, and all of our covers are stainless steel.

Designed to safely remove gases from your home, they can be a more affordable alternative to a chimney in poor condition.

Rain Caps and Flue Tiles
Rain caps are essential fixtures placed atop flue tiles, designed to prevent moisture from entering the chimney These metal caps also serve as a barrier against animals that might try to enter the chimney.
Flue tiles, made of clay, protect the brick and mortar from the effects of smoke and gases produced by your fireplace, water heater, or furnace. Without flue tiles, the integrity of your chimney can deteriorate quickly, increasing the risk of dangerous house fires and carbon monoxide buildup in your home.
Flashing
Flashing is at the base of a chimney. It helps prevent water getting into the roof between the roof and the chimney.
