Frequently asked in Lansing
What is the difference between chimney sweeping and repair?
Chimney sweeping focuses on cleaning out creosote and debris from the flue to prevent fires and improve draft. Chimney repair involves fixing structural issues like cracked bricks, damaged mortar joints, faulty flue liners, or deteriorated chimney caps. While sweeping cleans the inside, repair addresses the physical integrity and safety of the chimney structure itself. Often, an inspection during sweeping reveals the need for repairs.

What does chimney cleaning and repair involve?
Chimney cleaning involves removing creosote buildup from the flue using specialized brushes and vacuums. Repair work can include fixing cracked masonry, sealing the flue liner, or replacing damaged components like the chimney cap or crown. The process ensures the chimney is safe for use, drawing properly, and free from fire hazards. Specialists often conduct an inspection during cleaning to identify any repair needs.
What does chimney liner repair entail?
Chimney liner repair involves inspecting the existing liner for cracks, holes, or deterioration. If minor damage is present, it might be sealed with specialized refractory cement. For more extensive damage, the old liner may be removed and a new one installed. This could involve a metal liner or a cast-in-place refractory system. The goal is to restore the protective barrier within the flue.
What are the common issues with fireplace chimneys?
Common issues with fireplace chimneys include cracked or deteriorating masonry, damaged flue liners that compromise safety, and faulty chimney caps that allow water and debris entry. Problems with the chimney crown, where it meets the roof, and the flashing can also lead to leaks. Blockages from creosote or animal nests are also frequent concerns that require attention.
