Quoted me a fair price. Prompt and expert work performed to fix damaged mortar, reduce fire risk. I highly recommend them!"

"The wood burning fireplace  fit the style of our farm house much more than the gas insert did.  Penguin came out and looked at the space.  They recommended some work be done to make this fireplace functional  (mortar touch up, painting, chimney cap, a wood burning panel reflector to draw in more heat and the glass door).  All of this work came at a reasonable price.  I am very pleased with the end results.

"I have used Chimney Clean Co for 9 years now. The technicians are always on time and do great work. True to their name, they leave my home and chimney clean as a whistle! There?s never any residual ash or dust. I especially appreciate that. Last time I had the work done, the technician, Dan, replaced the chimney cap as well. Overall a great company to work with. I highly recommend them."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all  gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.

Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.

Whether you should replace your roof if it is not leaking depends on the specific problem. Just because your roof isn’t leaking doesn’t mean there’s no damage or wood rot. Roof leaks can take a while to spot—and the damage could be extensive by the time you realize your roof is leaking. 

Even if you don’t see a leak, you should have a roofing pro perform an inspection on your roof at least once a year. A pro can spot damage you might miss. They can recommend whether you should consider roof replacement.

Inspect for cracks, clean debris regularly, and replace damaged tiles promptly to maintain performance.

Patching a rubber roof requires finding a leak that is most likely identified by inspecting the attic. Get a strong flashlight and inspect the underside of the roof. Look for mold, wet spots, or dark, discolored areas. Check for degrading insulation, which tends to break down faster than wood. Inspect vents and seals and keep an eye out for small punctures coming through. The leak could actually be several feet away from where you find the water damage because of how water flows or gets diverted. In dry weather, spray the roof with a hose while someone else watches for leaks inside the attic.
