Inspection Fireplace and Chimney Installation
Based on a inspection, a chimney professional gives you a
condition report. They inspect the readily accessible areas of
the chimney in the living area and at the exterior of your home
including the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber. Outside, they
check to make sure the chimney cap meets code and does not
restrict the draft. They also check for structural soundness and
evidence of deterioration.
Whether you want a new fireplace or an upgraded one, we are the
company to meet and exceed all of your needs.
Cleaning
Chimney cleaning removes creosote in order to ensure safe operation and prevent deterioration. The chimney is then cleaned from the bottom. We use specialized tools to clean the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, smoke shelf (behind the damper), and flue liner. This process can take anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour. The recommended yearly inspection will let you know if a cleaning is necessary.
Water Leak Resolution
We are experts at finding and fixing leaks. This service is perfect if a roofer has told you the leak is the chimney and not the roof. We have never encountered a leak that we could not solve.
Waterproofing

Crown Rebuilding and Repair
We repair cracks in your crown that can cause water leaks that destroy other parts of your fireplace and chimney. If necessary, we can completely rebuild or replace the crown.
Firebox Rebuilding and Repair
Loose bricks and holes in the mortar or brick are tell-tale signs that this is needed. If you want a specialty firebox or one just like your previous one, call Ashes To Ashes .
Replace Chase Tops
Prefabricated metal fireplaces should have metal tops. If yours is rusty, it needs to be replaced before it starts to leak. If you have a prefabricated fireplace with a masonry (cement) top, then the exterior of your flue pipe may rust and create an unsafe situation.
