Chimney & Fireplace Services

Everything we do, grouped by what you need — from a routine sweep to a full restoration, and every fireplace type in between. Each page explains the real symptoms, how we diagnose, your options and their limits.

Cleaning

Chimney Cleaning

A proper sweep clears the entire flue — the part you can't see — not just the soot in the firebox you can reach with a vacuum.

Fireplace Cleaning

Clearing ash and soot from the firebox and the surfaces you see is useful housekeeping — but it's not the same as sweeping the flue above it.

Inspections

Chimney Inspection

An inspection is where every honest recommendation starts. We assess the system, then tell you in plain language what we found and what — if anything — it means.

Level 1 Chimney Inspection

For a system you use the same way each year with no changes, a Level 1 inspection is the routine, readily-accessible check that confirms it's ready.

Level 2 Chimney Inspection

When there's a sale, a change to the system, or a reason for concern, a Level 2 looks closer than the accessible surfaces — including inside the flue.

Chimney Camera Inspection

A video scan sends a camera up the flue to show what a flashlight from the firebox can't — cracks, gaps, blockages and liner condition along the run.

Chimney repairs

Chimney Repair

"Chimney repair" can mean a dozen different things. The first job is always to diagnose what's actually wrong before quoting a fix.

Chimney Restoration

When a chimney has several issues at once, restoration brings them together into one planned, staged scope rather than a scatter of one-off repairs.

RepairBefore-and-after of a crumbling brick chimney rebuilt with sound masonry and a new crown

Chimney Rebuild

When masonry has deteriorated past the point where patching holds, rebuilding the affected section restores real structure instead of buying a little more time.

RepairBrick chimney with mortar joints and a crown on a South Florida roof

Chimney Tuckpointing

Mortar joints are the first line to fail. Renewing them keeps water out of the masonry — the damaged brick that follows is a costlier problem.

RepairBefore-and-after of a cracked chimney crown replaced with a new poured crown

Chimney Crown Repair

The crown is the sloped masonry surface on top of the chimney. When it cracks, water goes straight down into the structure — so small cracks matter.

Water intrusion

LeaksSouth Florida home roofline and chimney where leaks commonly originate

Chimney Leak Repair

A stain on the ceiling tells you water is getting in — not where. Sealing the stain instead of the source is why leaks 'come back.'

LeaksMetal cap and flashing at the roofline of a brick chimney

Chimney Flashing Repair

Flashing is the metal that seals the seam where the chimney passes through the roof. It's one of the most common places a 'chimney leak' actually starts.

LeaksBrick chimney exterior that sheds water off sound masonry

Chimney Waterproofing

A breathable water-repellent helps porous masonry shed rain instead of soaking it up — but it's not a fix for a leaking crown, cap or flashing.

Flue & liner

Chimney Liner Repair

The liner is the surface that contains heat and combustion byproducts inside the flue. When it deteriorates, that containment is what's at stake.

Chimney Relining

Relining installs a new liner sized and rated for the appliance it serves — which is why the right answer starts with the appliance, not the pipe.

Airflow & draft

DraftTechnician checking a fireplace damper and firebox

Chimney Damper Repair

The damper is the valve that opens the flue for a fire and closes it when you're done. Stuck open, it leaks air; stuck shut, it traps smoke.

Firebox

Firebox Repair

The firebox takes the direct heat of every fire. Cracked firebrick and failing joints there are common — and worth addressing before they spread.

FireboxFactory-built fireplace firebox with refractory panels

Refractory Panel Replacement

Factory-built fireplaces line the firebox with refractory panels instead of firebrick. When they crack past a certain point, they're meant to be replaced — with the right parts.

FireboxInspecting the smoke chamber above a firebox

Smoke Chamber Repair

The smoke chamber is the transition just above the firebox that funnels smoke into the flue. Rough or damaged, it hurts draft and can collect creosote.

Fireplaces

Fireplace Repair

Before any part gets replaced, the question is which fireplace you have — wood, gas, or factory-built — because each fails and gets fixed differently.

Gas Fireplace Repair

Gas fireplaces fail at the ignition, the controls, the burner or the venting — and gas work belongs with licensed professionals. We diagnose and coordinate the fix.

Gas Fireplace Maintenance

A new fireplace is more than the appliance — site conditions, venting, clearances, permits and coordinated trades all decide whether it's done right.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

A dryer vent isn't part of your fireplace flue — it's its own duct, and packed lint is both a fire risk and the reason clothes take two cycles to dry.
