When the mortar AND brick have crumbled, a chimney rebuild is needed. Our chimney rebuilds include tear down of the existing structure and debris disposal of the old decayed brick. The chimney will then be built back up using new brick and mortar and finished with crown/wash. Brick color, mortar color and decorative corbel style options can all be discussed to give your chimney a fresh new designer look.
The flashing is where your roof meets your chimney. Its purpose is to create a watertight seal that protects against moisture and penetration. When properly installed, chimney flashing can last more than 30 years, depending on factors such as where you live, the shape and size of your chimney and the materials used.
Did you know that all masonry chimneys must be repaired at some point?
Mortar joints are damaged by harsh weather conditions, including excessive amounts of water. Moisture can even damage rock masonry when water penetrates due to weakened mortar joints. "Tuckpointing" is the repair process that stops the destruction and improves overall strength.
Although many chimney practices have changed over the years, chimney sweeping is still done the traditional way with brushes and rods. With guidelines from the Chimney Safety Institute of America and the National Fire Protection Association, the flue is visually inspected to determine if a sweeping is needed and type of brush required.
Although many chimney practices have changed over the years, chimney sweeping is still done the traditional way with brushes and rods. With guidelines from the Chimney Safety Institute of America and the National Fire Protection Association, the flue is visually inspected to determine if a sweeping is needed and type of brush required. The surrounding area is then prepped with a drop cloth, vacuum and additional dust control, as needed. The brush is attached to a semi-flexible rod, inserted past the damper area, with additional rods added until the peak is reached. There are various stages of creosote so a visual inspection prior to running brushes is imperative to determine if a basic sweep is needed or if more aggressive tactics are necessary.

When you light a fire in your fireplace or wood stove in the winter, the chimney heats up and cools down. As temperatures drop below freezing, any water that is absorbed into your chimney crown from rainfall will freeze and thaw, causing expansion and contraction. This process eventually causes your crown to crack and deteriorate, which is why it is important to prevent water from absorbing into the chimney crown in the first place.
Depending on the severity of damage, the crown will either need to be repaired or totally replaced.

Cracks in your firebox (the open space where you burn fires) might seem harmless. In fact, if excess smoke and heat seeps into your home through those gaps, it can ignite and damage the walls. A qualified mason could seal those gaps and keep you burning safe.
“While you’re up there, could you check on that leak for me?” - Actually yes, yes we can! Many of our chimney technicians are also qualified roofing contractors as well. Need some flashing fixed or a vent boot calked? Let us know!
“Iron Stoves” have been a tried-and-true heat source since Benjamin Franklin first introduced them as an efficient alternative to the open fireplace. The materials and methods might have modernized over the decades, but the classic wood stove will never go out of fashion.
A fireplace insert is an iron or steel box that fits inside your existing chimney. It looks rustic, it improves efficiency, and it saves money on heating. All the warm ambience of a regular fireplace with half the energy cost.
The damper is the “lid” inside your chimney flue. A broken damper means downdrafts can enter your home through the fireplace, making your house breezy in the winter and hot in the summer. Why pay to heat the outdoors every night when you could hire our technicians once?
