The National Fire Protection Association recommends that chimneys, fireplaces, and vents be inspected at least once a year. If you use your fireplace regularly, especially with wood, you should have it cleaned annually. Regular cleaning prevents dangerous creosote buildup, removes debris, and ensures your chimney is safe to use. We provide thorough inspections and cleanings to keep your chimney in optimal condition.

Common signs that your chimney needs repair include: water leaks or stains around the chimney, crumbling or missing mortar between bricks, cracked or damaged bricks, a leaning chimney, smoke entering your home instead of going up the chimney, strong odors from the fireplace, and visible damage to the chimney cap or crown. If you notice any of these issues, contact us immediately for a professional inspection.

We install high-quality stainless steel liners that meet all safety codes and significantly improve your chimney's performance and safety.
