"Definitely a legitimate business, first of all. Brendan Avery does actually run the service, and is extremely thorough and very courteous. He's also experienced and knowledgeable, and gave some important advice on keeping my pellet stove and exhaust system clean and running. (I have a built-in 25' firebrick chimney flue that I use with the stove, and the flue liner was NOT being cleared by the stove company's annual service, though I hadn't realized this.) After a 2-1/2 hour cleaning, the stove runs like new now, and burns the fuel cleanly again! I'm probably just going to maintain the stove myself now as needed, and have Avery's Chimney Service clean my exhaust and flue system annually. He also provides other chimney maintenance services, which I will use."

"Great service. Omar inspected my chimney and provided a written quote to repair the top part of my chimney and install a chimney cap. He explained the process and set a date for the work. Diego and Dre did a great job repairing the chimney and installed the chimney cap all in one day and cleaned up everything."

"I had a great experience with Clear Choice Chimney. They performed an inspection on my wood-burning fireplace, explained everything that needed to be done before the upcoming winter, and made sure I understood the condition of my chimney. They completed the necessary repairs, cleaned everything thoroughly, and the entire process was professional and smooth. The team was knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. I?m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable chimney work."

"Chimney experts was very professional in both scheduling and the job. Al was very thorough to not only look at the chimney, but also to stay with me until we had fully built a fire and had it burning long enough to run a full test of the appliance. Would highly suggest for inspection and installation- they know the business well."

Chimney Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.

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.

Meshed fiberglass tape is your best option if you want to tape up a leaking ceiling. Even then, that is not a permanent solution and you need to address the root cause of the leak. Also, you still need to apply drywall material on top of the tape and repaint the ceiling, instead of leaving the tape exposed as-is. Finally, this method only works on minor leaks and as a band-aid solution.

Underlayment exists under your tile roof. It helps protect your home by acting as a secondary water barrier. Often, when roof tiles fall off, underlayment that's in good condition can temporarily keep water from getting into the home. However, immediate replacement of missing tiles is crucial to avoid additional roof damage. 

Professionals use brushes, vacuums, and diagnostic tools to ensure thorough cleaning and safety.
