Chimney Smoke The effect that pulls up the smoke, gases, and debris is called the draft. If the byproducts of the combustion do not exit the home, it could swell back into the room, making it dangerous. The causes of draft problems could range from construction problems and chimney physics issues such as negative pressure and stack effect.

Draft problems are very common but also difficult to diagnose. Our chimney experts have the experience as we can fix any draft problem, offer smart solutions and will never suggest redundant repairs.

CHIMNEY CAPS

CHASE COVERS

The stainless steel chase covers are the best way to protect your chimney cleaning. We provide cost-effective and long-lasting stainless steel chase covers.

WATERPROOFING

A chimney takes severe beating due to weather conditions throughout the year. Water entering into the chimney is the most common reason for deterioration and damage. Chimney waterproofing is a simple way to extend the lifespan of the chimney. Regular Sealers can trap the moisture, thus damaging the bricks. Instead, we use water repellent that does not trap the moisture and allows the surface to breathe, thus keeping the water at bay might not kill you, but lead to several health problems.

DAMPERS

A damper seals off the flue from the top, thereby not allowing heat and air loss. But, when the hearth is functional, the damper needs to be open. As a result, the air can easily get in and result in heat loss. We use Lock-top-damper system that eliminates downdrafts, seals water from entering and prevents entry of pests. We can repair or replace chimney dampers at the bottom of the chimney and top sealing.

FLASHING

Notice a leaked ceiling around your chimney? Then you need to get your flashing checked. Chimney flashing is a metal plate situated where the chimney and roof meets. This metal plate prevents water from entering the house. Over a period of time, the metal plating, due to exposure to various elements, can get damaged, thus leading to mold formation, wall damage and rotting of wood. In case you notice water leaking from your chimney, we use ice and water shield onto the shingle underpayment and use step and counter flashing to seal the leakage.

CHIMNEY CROWN

Damaged chimney crowns are one of the major common problems. If your chimney crown is cracked, not constructed properly, or bricks are falling apart — letting water penetrate —we’ll repair or rebuild a concrete crown. Our chimney crew will seal it with a flexible sealant as it will protect the interior of the chimney from water, rain and snow. The price depends on the size of the crown and degree of repair and rebuilding.

CHIMNEY FLUE CRACKS AND CHIMNEY RELINING

A liner keeps the heat of the flue gases within the chimney so that the chimney does not overheat the combustible material, like the walls of the house. A secure lining system will ensure proper draft by not allowing the flue gases from expanding and cooling more than required.

Reasons for lining or relining your chimney include:

1. Properly sizing (by reducing) the chimney flue. Proper sizing assures better draft, other edges along with less creosote

2. Cracks or defects. Having a lining within your chimney assures the fire will remain in a tightly sealed tube – and additionally transfer less heat through the wall of the chimney to nearby framing and combustible material.

3. Some older chimneys were constructed free of liner of brick – and some newer chimneys have broken and deteriorated clay liners. Both of these pose safety risks.
