How often should I get my chimney cleaned?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends a chimney cleaning at least once a year. Regular chimney sweeps help prevent creosote buildup, reduce fire risk, and keep your fireplace running efficiently.

INFORMATION

The Importance of Routine Chimney Inspections

Fireplace repair addresses damaged components that compromise safety, performance, and structural integrity. Our CSIA-certified technicians perform fireplace repairs in accordance with NFPA standards, correcting issues caused by weather exposure, age, and repeated use. Common problems found during fireplace repair include cracked fireboxes, failing dampers, deteriorated masonry, damaged refractory panels, smoke chamber defects, and chimney liner issues.

Weather accelerates fireplace deterioration through heat expansion, moisture intrusion, and structural movement. Left unrepaired, fireplace damage can lead to chimney fires, carbon monoxide exposure, smoke backing into the home, and interior damage. Our fireplace repair process begins with inspection and diagnosis, followed by a clearly defined scope of work, professional repairs, and a final walkthrough. Homeowners, real estate professionals, and well-known local figures trust our certifications, safety-first approach, and long-term solutions.

What’s Included in Your Chimney Inspection

Firebox Repair

Firebox repair corrects cracks, material breakdown, and heat damage inside the combustion chamber. Repairing the firebox restores safe heat containment and reduces fire risk.

Chimney Liner Repair

Chimney liner repair addresses cracks, gaps, and deterioration that allow heat and gases to escape into surrounding structure. Proper liner repairs improve draft and protect the home.

Damper Repair

Damper repair restores proper opening, closing, and sealing. A damaged damper can cause smoke issues, heat loss, and unsafe fireplace operation.

Masonry Repair

Fireplace masonry repair corrects cracked brick, spalling surfaces, and weakened mortar joints caused by prolonged exposure to heat and moisture.

Gas Fireplace Repair

Gas fireplace repair addresses burner issues, ignition failures, valve problems, and venting concerns. Repairs restore safe and reliable operation of gas fireplace systems.

Code Compliance

Fireplace repairs are completed to meet current code requirements. Code compliance corrections are often required after inspections, real estate transactions, or safety findings.
