Services
Chimney Sweeping
Our professional chimney sweeping removes creosote buildup and debris to prevent fire hazards. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums and clean drop cloths to protect your property. Annual sweeping maintains optimal chimney function and indoor air quality.
Chimney Relining
We install UL-listed stainless steel liners and cast-in-place systems to restore damaged chimneys. Our relining solutions improve efficiency and safety while meeting modern building codes for gas, oil, and wood-burning appliances.
Fireplace Repair
From cracked fireboxes to deteriorated mortar, we rebuild and modernize fireplaces. Our team matches original materials and designs while upgrading safety features for improved performance and aesthetics.
Video Inspections
Using high-resolution cameras, we conduct thorough internal chimney inspections. This non-invasive method identifies hidden cracks, leaks, and blockages to prevent costly emergencies and ensure proper venting.
Historic Restoration
Specializing in pre-1950 chimneys, we restore historic structures using traditional techniques. Our mortar-matching process and period-accurate materials preserve architectural integrity while implementing modern safety standards.
