Creosote is what burns in a chimney fire. Third-degree creosote is glazed and hot enough to crack flue tile, and removing it is the entire point of an annual sweep.

Intense sun and wide day-night temperature swings are the local stressors - UV degrades finishes and sealants fast, and repeated expansion opens joints.

Most chimney leaks are not the brick. They are a failed crown, missing cap or bad step flashing where the stack meets the roof - which is why repointing a chimney that leaks through the crown fixes nothing.

Round wire chimney brush, flexible sweeping rods, a vacuum hose and a bucket on a drop cloth in front of a brick fireplace.

What the job includes

  • Annual sweeping and creosote removal
  • Level 1 and Level 2 inspections
  • Stainless cap and crown repair
  • Flue liner installation
  • Flashing and leak repair
  • Dryer vent cleaning
