Products and Services

Chimney Relining

a liner inside a chimney is to ensure it continues to function properly. Liners are required in chimneys to help prevent house fires and channel heat and gases up the chimney.

Chimney Dampers

Controls airflow and smoke through the chimney flue. A closed damper acts as a seal that keeps the exterior air out and the interior air in and also assists in starting and controlling a fire.

Crown Rebuilding

Why crown rebuilding is Important: A chimney crown is a slab of material, usually concrete, that covers the entire top of a chimney, protecting the bricks below it and the interior spaces of the chimney structure. Crowns are prone to cracking over time, and when this happens, serious damage to the chimney could result.

Water Leak & Condensation Resolution & Repair

Chimney leaks and condensation can be caused by a number of issues, including: Cracks in the crowns or caps, gaps or damage in the flashing, a rusted chase top, inadequate ventilation causing temperature differentials inside and outside of the chimney or poor construction. We evaluate and identify the source of the leak so we can recommend the proper repairs.

Chimney Sweeping

Smoking & Draft Problems

Smoking and draft problems can occur when smoke from a fireplace or stove doesn't move properly up and out of the chimney, but instead flows back into the home. This can lead to dangerous fumes, fire hazards, and increased levels of smoke in the home which can be caused by flue obstructions, improper flue sizing, creosote buildup, damper malfunctions, drafts from outside sources or negative air pressure.
