Key Chimney Components We Repair

Our certified technicians are experienced in all aspects of chimney repair and maintenance. Key areas we service include:

The flue is the interior passage that allows smoke, gasses, and heat to escape the chimney. Cracks, blockages, and other damage can prevent proper drafting and venting. We offer expert flue repairs to restore smooth airflow and improve chimney performance.

Our services include repointing damaged sections, and removing obstructions. Moreover, we also handle sealing cracks and realigning separated joints. We use high-temperature caulking, refractory cement, and other specialized materials for durable repairs. Fixing flue damage prevents harmful gasses from leaking into the home.

Flue liners protect the interior chimney structure from heat and corrosion. We replace damaged tile, metal, or other liners with optimal new materials for the chimney. Installing smooth, undamaged flue liners improves drafting for safer and more efficient operation.

For prefabricated metal chimneys, we fix or replace rusted, detached, or bent flue pipes. Proper reattachment and realignment ensure stability and correct venting. We also seal joints to prevent leaks. Our team handles repairs of single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall flue pipes.

The smoke chamber provides a transition space between the firebox and the flue. With age and use, smoke chambers can deteriorate from cracks and missing mortar. We repair damage using high-temperature refractory cement to seal off leaks. Repairing the smoke chamber prevents gasses from escaping into the chimney interior.

Dampers regulate chimney airflow and venting. We troubleshoot and fix problems with rusted or stuck damper motors, damaged hinges, and broken damper control parts. Replacing worn damper components improves chimney performance and safety.

The firebox endures high heat and creosote accumulation over many years of use. We reline damaged fireboxes using high-temperature firebrick and fireclay mortar. 

For severely deteriorated fireboxes, we perform complete rebuilds. We ensure maintaining precise clearances and use the most heat-resistant materials. Effective firebox repair prevents gasses from leaking into the home.
