"These professionals know their stuff when it comes to fireplaces and chimneys. They inspected the two fireplaces in my 100 year old house and found some issues that needed to be addressed. 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.

Customers say: Quick response

"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

The three main types of home inspections you should always carry out for new construction include a pre-drywall inspection, a post-drywall inspection, and a one-year inspection. The pre-drywall inspection can identify building code violations, issues with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, and structural issues. The post-drywall inspection can identify damaged building materials, insufficient insulation, and more. An inspection at the one-year mark after construction will identify problems your builder must fix under their comprehensive one-year warranty.

You can tell if you have ridge vents by looking at the roof’s peak from outside. A ridge vent will look like a speed bump or slight rise away from the roof’s surface and will likely be covered in the same material as the rest of the roof. You can also tell from inside your attic—look up at the roof ridge to see if there is light coming through along the length of the ridge.

Most chimney crowns cannot be seen from the street or yard. As a result, most homeowners are completely unaware that their damaged or deteriorating chimney crowns need repairs or replacements. Chimney inspections offered by contractors can verify any damage.

Shingle damage comes in many forms, and the damage usually depends on the wind speed and the shape of the roof before the winds. Typically, when shingles are damaged by wind, they become torn, creased, or detached from the roof. Some might go missing entirely. More extensive roof damage might occur if a tree branch or other debris has fallen onto the roof as a result of the windstorm.

If you’ve had a recent weather event or any other issue that caused roof damage, there’s a chance your caps are damaged also, and it’s worth having an inspection done to see if you need roof ridge replacement or repair. You should also keep an eye out for caps that are visibly deteriorating or curling. Here are more signs to look out for:

  • Cracks or gaps 

  • Discoloration

  • Water stains on the ceiling or walls inside

  • Missing shingles

If you have a vented roof ridge, you may also need repair or replacement if you have sudden issues with indoor humidity.
