"Al was fantastic! He clearly explained that my fireplace was shutting off as a safety feature due to low oxygen levels. He also reassembled the logs in the firebox and showed me the proper way to start and stop the fireplace. Highly recommend his service!"

"Aurel came to do a cleaning on wood burning fireplace in house recently purchased and repaired a crack on outside. After cleaning showed us cracks inside fireplace that needed to be sealed to prevent fire hazard, upgrade to flu and replacement of crown. Very honest in assessment, detailed in explanation and fair price. While his guys were repairing crown, also noticed cracks in concrete under crown which is where water had gotten in and caused original crack below they had fixed . Took pics and explained what had found and solution to seal with weatherproof compound. 2nd chimney on house recently redone by previous owner but concrete on top not done correctly and entirely crumbling so cleaned that up and poured new concrete. Also exhaust pipe not properly sealed. Gave me before and after pics of everything. I appreciate their thoroughness in looking at everything, not just job we had discussed. This saved us a lot of money down the road if damages on roof werenâ t caught now. They were on time, clean and professional. I would highly recommend."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Signs that your chimney may need to be replaced include visible damage like cracks in the structure, bricks, or mortar, as well as crumbling or flaking mortar and loose bricks. Leaks, dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence (a white, stain-like substance on the bricks) are also key indicators of water damage, which can compromise the chimney's safety. Addressing these problems is essential, as a chimney in this condition may be at risk of collapsing and causing major damage to your home. A full replacement costs about $10,000 on average, but can range from $3,100 to $15,400.

The disadvantages of a wood-burning stove include a slow heating time and the effort required for fuel. It can take about an hour for a cold stove to produce noticeable heat. Additionally, homeowners must source their own fuel by buying or chopping firewood, cutting it to the appropriate size, and storing it in a dry place. The fire also requires regular attention, as you'll need to add more logs throughout the day.

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.

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

Most cleanings take 1-3 hours, but extensive soot buildup or liner damage may require additional time.
