Sumner’s climate means moisture and wood-burning habits create thick creosote buildup faster than you’d expect. Our high-powered vacuums and rotary brushes clear every flue—even in older masonry chimneys—without damaging tiles or liners. We target the entire system: flue, smoke chamber, damper, and firebox. No shortcuts, no hidden fees. Your chimney will draft cleaner, your fires will burn hotter, and your risk of a chimney fire drops to near zero. We document before/after conditions for your records.
Request this service →We perform Level 1, 2, or 3 inspections based on your system’s age and use, with Level 2 required after major events like chimney fires or roof work. Our cameras navigate tight bends to check flue tiles, crowns, and flashing for water damage or deterioration. We flag issues like missing spark arrestors (common in Sumner’s windy winters) or deteriorating mortar joints that could let carbon monoxide seep into your home. Reports include photos and repair recommendations with no upselling pressure.
Request this service →Sumner’s wet springs and freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry fast. We rebuild eroded mortar joints with Type-S mortar, seal chimney crowns with waterproof coatings, and install custom caps to block debris and animals. Our repairs extend chimney life by 10–15 years and prevent costly structural damage. We match historic brick profiles when needed and offer 1-year workmanship warranties. All materials are sourced locally to match Sumner’s aesthetic.
Request this service →Gas logs, pellet stoves, and factory-built fireplaces need annual tune-ups to prevent backdrafts or CO leaks. We clean burners, inspect gaskets, test pressure switches, and verify venting meets current codes. For wood stoves, we check baffle integrity and door seals—critical in Sumner’s drafty homes. Our service includes a draft test to confirm smoke exits properly, not into your living room. We leave your system safer and more efficient.
Request this service →A missing or damaged chimney cap is a silent threat: birds nest in flues, rain erodes liners, and downdrafts push smoke indoors. We install durable, code-compliant caps in 30–45 minutes with no roof penetrations. Options include mesh screens to block sparks (key for Sumner’s dry summers) and insulated designs to reduce heat loss. Caps start at $125 and come with a 5-year warranty against rust or animal entry.
Request this service →Carbon monoxide is odorless and kills silently—often mimicking flu symptoms. We use calibrated detectors to test ambient CO levels in your home and inspect the chimney/venting system for leaks. Common culprits in Sumner include cracked flue tiles, improperly sealed joints, or blocked vents from summer debris. We provide same-day results and repair recommendations. Testing is $75—cheaper than a hospital bill.
