Leaks

Have you noticed your chimney leaking or moisture build up at the base of your hearth? We will investigate all the possibilities that could contribute to this. We can seal your crown with a new crown coating, pour a new concrete crown, seal or repair the exterior of the chimney, and fix any flashing issues.

Inspections

We do 25 point inspections of your chimneys interior and exterior to make sure you can safely burn a cozy fire in your fireplace. We can do a video inspection if you wish so we can show you your chimney from the comfort of your living room.

 Selling your Home

We provide the necessary inspection reports for home sales so the seller and buyer can know the functionality of the chimney.

 

Cleanings

The proper maintenance of your chimney is crucial to the safety of your home. We will make sure your chimney flue is properly cleaned of any built up creosote and we will help educate the homeowner on how to avoid excessive future creosote build up. We also offer a free inspection with every cleaning!

 

 

Repairs

Sometimes your chimney needs more than a simple cleaning to safely burn and with our inspections we can break down these repairs and offer you all of the options available to return the chimney to working order.

 

Relinings

Have you been told that you had a chimney fire or that you have cracks in your clay flue tiles? We can reline your flue with a steel chimney liner and in some cases we can resurface instead of relining.

 

Masonry/siding

Does the brick work on your chimney look as if it is decaying? This is called brick spalling. We can repair cracked or missing bricks or if needed, completely remove all damaged brick and rebuild. We can replace rotting/damaged siding. We will also make sure your chimney flashing is in working order to prevent leaking.

Knowledge and Experience

Inspections, Cleanings, and Repairs. My services might be varied, but they all come with skill. Have you had another chimney company come out and stress that you should only do business with a certified Chimney contractor? This is simply not true, no such law exists in the State of Kansas. I began my career repairing masonry structures and had previous fireplace repair experience. When I first inquired with the city of Lawrence 15 years ago about getting a chimney sweep/repair license I was told there is no such license and this is true to this day. In the fireplace industry in Kansas the only licensing needed is for free standing stove and factory built fireplace installations, WHICH WE DO NOT DO (although we do clean and inspect them).

I truly love masonry chimneys/fireplaces and have never even entertained the idea of being a factory built chimney installer. Some folks love what they do! And that is exactly how I feel about masonry chimney structure repair. If you need a repair, relining, or want to boost your fireplaces efficiency with a wood burning stove insert these are the things that we love to help consumers get accomplished at a far better rate than all other chimney contractors in the area without a doubt.

On a near daily basis we save customers tens of thousands of dollars in masonry repair costs. Other regional companies in the industry flat out see you as instant money that can practically be stolen out of your wallet based on the false statements that you must have a certified Chimney sweep take care of your fireplace. Being that I've done this for 15 years and counting, I know all of the National Fire Protection codes to keep you safe and your chimney intact. With 15 years experience and all our customers are still safe as well as their chimney/fireplaces you can rest assured we will take good care of your project at an amazing rate that will leave you feeling that you chose the right company for your fireplace inspection and or repairs.
