Services

The National Fire Protection Association recommends that homeowners have their chimney inspected at least once a year.

“Chim” Chimney offers a full portfolio of chimney and venting system services. Whether it's woodstoves, fireplaces, chimneys, or dryer vents, we understand the intricacies of the venting systems in your home. And we're equipped to address all of your maintenance and safety needs. Our services include:

Chimney Inspections & Sweeping

Our CSIA–Certified Chimney Sweep uses state–of–the–art equipment to inspect and sweep chimneys of all kinds, including oil–, wood–, and gas–burning chimneys. While sweeping your system, we ensure that it's in working order. We look for any problems that could prevent peak performance and recommend what is needed for your system to burn cleanly and safely. When necessary, we use video inspection camera equipment to examine hidden parts of the flue.

Dryer Vent Inspections & Cleaning

In addition to servicing chimneys, we inspect and clean dryer vents in one– and two–story homes. A thorough sweep by one of our dryer exhaust technicians includes searching for any issues that might interfere with optimal operation. Highly effective diagnostic tools allow us to detect and resolve issues before they become problems.

Waterproofing/Repair & Restoration

We offer the full range of repairs to chimney systems, big and small—from repairing leaky flashing to tuckpointing and masonry repair to relining the flue and chimney rebuilding.

Rebuild Fireplaces

Water damage resulting from a missing chimney cap is all too common. We remedy this situation by reconstructing the back walls of fireplaces, returning them to their original condition.

Rebuild Crowns

Improperly built crowns are another common problem. If your crown is cracked or poorly constructed–it is allowing water penetration. When water enters the chimney, it seeps into the masonry. When it freezes it starts the "freeze-thaw" process, which will quickly deteriorate your chimney and cause excessive damage. We can build a properly constructed crown that will protect your chimney for years to come, worry free!

Install Chimney Caps

The best way to prevent moisture from rain and snow, animals, leaves, and other debris from entering your chimney is to install a chimney cap. Our high–quality stainless steel caps carry a lifetime warranty.

Replace Chase Tops

Leaky or damaged chase tops, and those made of masonry, are potential hazards on prefabricated metal fireplaces. We help eliminate problems before they start by replacing masonry and rusty metal chase tops.

Water Leak & Condensation Resolution & Repair

If water is damaging your fireplace inside or out, we'll find and fix it—no matter the source.

Why Hire a Professional?

The image below is the result of unprofessional chimney work. It had been relined and serviced 3 months prior by non-professionals. Unfortunately, the homeowners had hired a company they thought were "professionals" for their cheaper fee. They were professionals in their field of plumbing and heating, not chimney work. The result, as you can see, was a devastating loss of a home and humane society.
