When conducting a chimney inspection, we examine both the exterior and interior to ensure the entire system operates safely and efficiently.
On the outside, we look at:
The chimney cap, crown, masonry, mortar joints, and roof flashing to check for cracks, water leaks, crumbling brickwork, or loose fittings that could allow moisture and pests into your home.
On the inside, we inspect:
The firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue liner, and ash dump for cracks, gaps, damaged tiles, or dangerous creosote buildup.
We check every component because a chimney works as a single unit.
Missing even a minor crack in the flue or a tiny fracture in the exterior crown can lead to house fires, dangerous carbon monoxide leaks inside your living space, or expensive structural water damage down the road.
Thank you for trusting in us for your chimney cleaning and inspections.

Today we replaced damaged refractory panels in a customer’s fireplace.
Over time, heat and stress can cause factory panels to crack. When panels crack, heat escapes into the surrounding structure which can cause the hidden wood framing behind your fireplace to overheat and potentially ignite. Replacing them keeps your fireplace operating safely and efficiently.

On a sweep & inspection today, we found clumps of mortar inside of the fireplace chimney. When applying mortar to a chimney, ensuring that mortar joints are flush and uniform is essential for both structural integrity and fire safety.
Leaving excess mortar in clumps creates hazard. It blocks the smoke way. This lack of smooth airflow speeds up the buildup of highly flammable creosote, (an oil-like byproduct of burning wood).
Heavy creosote accumulation within these irregular crevices dramatically increases the risk of a destructive, high-temperature chimney fire that can easily spread to the rest of the home.
Clumps of mortar can detach over time and fall into the flue and causing hazardous blockages. A blocked chimney flue prevents deadly combustion gases (most notably odorless, colorless carbon monoxide) from properly venting outside, forcing toxic fumes back into the living space.
Uneven mortar on the chimney's exterior can also create structural stress points, where unequal weight distribution and moisture pe*******on lead to leaning, crumbling bricks, or flashing leaks around the roofline.
By finishing mortar joints so they are smooth, uniform, and flush, you protect the masonry against water damage, maintain proper flue ventilation, and minimize severe fire and health hazards.
Unfortunately, this chimney is not safe. ❌

During an inspection this morning, we found exposed brick and missing mortar inside a client's smoke chamber. Smoke chambers require a smooth layer of refractory mortar (a process called parging) to ensure proper drafting and reduce creosote buildup.
To bring this system up to safety standards, we apply a smooth, seamless layer of specialized high-temperature refractory mortar directly over the exposed brickwork (parging). This seals all open joints, creates a smooth funnel for smoke to draft cleanly upward, and adds an insulating thermal barrier to protect your home.

When we perform a chimney inspection, our primary focus is ensuring that your fireplace and heating system are completely safe, efficient, and structurally sound.
We begin with a thorough examination of the exterior structure, checking the masonry, brickwork, and mortar for cracks, deterioration, or water damage that could compromise the chimney's stability.
We also inspect exterior components like the chimney cap and crown, which act as the first line of defense against rain, debris, and animal intrusions.
Water is a chimney’s worst enemy, so catching cracks or gaps in the exterior early helps prevent expensive structural repairs down the road.
Inside the home, we examine the hearth, firebox, damper, and connection points to verify everything is operating smoothly and aligned with safety standards.
We conduct a detailed interior sweep of the flue lining. During this phase, we look closely for dangerous creosote buildup (a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood) as well as flue liner cracks, gaps, or blockages. Missing or damaged flue tiles can expose the surrounding wooden framework of your home to extreme temperatures and toxic combustion gases like carbon monoxide. By inspecting every angle from top to bottom, we give you full peace of mind that your home remains safe and warm all season long.
