Chimney Cleaning — Chimney Masters

Cleaning

Chimney Cleaning

Soot, ash and creosote build up on the inside of a flue every time a fireplace is used. Chimney cleaning removes that buildup along with any leaves, nests or debris that have settled in over the off-season.

  • Removes creosote, the sticky, flammable residue that fuels most chimney fires.
  • Clears the blockages that cause smoke smell, poor draft and slow-burning fires.
  • Usually paired with a quick inspection, since buildup and damage are easiest to see at the same visit.

Chimney Sweep — Chimney Masters

Sweeping

Chimney Sweep

A sweep is the traditional rod-and-brush service: working a stiff brush down the full length of the flue to knock loose everything cleaning alone can't reach, then clearing it out from the firebox.

  • Works on masonry chimneys, factory-built (prefabricated) metal chimneys, and wood stove flues alike.
  • Reaches glazed creosote and compacted debris that a vacuum or wipe-down can't touch.
  • Recommended at least once a year for any fireplace that sees regular winter use.

Chimney Inspection — Chimney Masters

Diagnostics

Chimney Inspection

An inspection is a structured review of the entire system — cap, crown, flashing, liner, damper and flue — often using video scope equipment to see conditions a flashlight from the firebox can't reach.

  • Annual inspections ahead of the heating season, to catch small issues before they become expensive ones.
  • Real estate inspections for buyers, sellers and agents during a home sale.
  • Post-storm and problem-specific inspections for smoke, odor, leaks, cracks or sudden draft changes.

Chimney Repair — Chimney Masters

Repair

Chimney Repair

General chimney repair covers the structure and components around the flue itself — brick and mortar, caps, crowns, liners, flashing, dampers — wherever the inspection points.

  • Repairs are scoped from what the inspection actually finds, not a flat-rate guess.
  • Covers draft problems, smoke chamber smoothing, and damage from a suspected chimney fire.
  • See masonry repair for brick-and-mortar specific work, or liner installation for venting issues.

Chimney Installation — Chimney Masters

Installation

Chimney Installation

New chimney systems, full replacements, and the individual components that go with them — for new fireplace additions, wood-burning system upgrades, and factory-built metal chimneys alike.

  • New installations for fireplace additions or full system replacement.
  • Component-level installation: liners, caps, chase covers and dampers.
  • Replacement of systems that are outdated, undersized, or too deteriorated to repair safely.

Chimney Leak Repair — Chimney Masters

Repair

Chimney Leak Repair

Chimney leaks rarely come from one obvious hole — they're usually a combination of a worn cap, a cracked crown, failing flashing or weathered masonry, and the water can travel before it shows up as a stain inside.

  • Diagnosis starts at the top of the chimney and works down, since gravity decides where the water actually ends up.
  • Common culprits: missing or rusted caps, cracked crowns, failed flashing seals, and worn masonry sealant.
  • Often paired with crown repair or flashing repair to actually stop the source.

Chimney Cap Installation — Chimney Masters

Caps

Chimney Cap Installation

A chimney cap keeps rain, animals, leaves and downdrafts out of the flue. It's a small part of the system that causes outsized problems when it's missing, rusted through, or simply the wrong size.

  • Stops the single most common entry point for rainwater and wildlife.
  • Reduces downdrafts that push cold air — and sometimes smoke — back into the room.
  • Repair or full replacement, depending on how far the rust or damage has gone.
  • For factory-built systems, see chase cover installation — the metal-roof equivalent of a cap.

Chimney Crown Repair — Chimney Masters

Crowns

Chimney Crown Repair

The crown is the concrete or mortar slab capping the top of the masonry stack. It takes direct weather exposure year-round, and a single hairline crack is usually how water starts working its way into the chimney.

  • Crack repair and resealing for crowns that are still structurally sound.
  • Full crown replacement when cracking, spalling or prior patch jobs have gone too far.
  • A frequent root cause behind leaks that seem to start somewhere else.

Chimney Flashing Repair — Chimney Masters

Flashing

Chimney Flashing Repair

Flashing is the metal seal where the chimney meets the roofline — one of the highest-risk junctions on the entire roof, since it has to flex with two different materials moving at two different rates.

  • Re-sealing and patching flashing that has lifted, rusted or separated from the roofline.
  • Full flashing replacement after storm damage or long-term wear.
  • Coordinated with roofing where the damage extends past the chimney itself.

Masonry Chimney Repair — Chimney Masters

Masonry

Masonry Chimney Repair

Brick and mortar take on water, freeze-thaw cycling and decades of heat exposure. Masonry repair covers everything from a handful of damaged bricks to full repointing of the mortar joints.

  • Brick repair — replacing cracked or spalling bricks without rebuilding the whole stack.
  • Tuckpointing / repointing — removing deteriorated mortar joints and replacing them to restore strength.
  • Waterproofing — a breathable masonry sealant that shields brick from rain without trapping moisture inside.

Chimney Liner Installation — Chimney Masters

Liners

Chimney Liner Installation

The liner is what actually carries smoke and combustion gases safely up and out. A cracked, undersized or missing liner is a safety issue, not a cosmetic one — and it's usually invisible until a camera goes down the flue.

  • Stainless steel liner installation sized correctly for the appliance or fireplace it serves.
  • Repair of cracked or deteriorated liners found during a camera inspection.
  • Full liner replacement for unsafe or outdated systems.

Fireplace Services — Chimney Masters

Fireplace

Fireplace Services

The fireplace itself — gas or wood-burning — gets serviced as part of the same system as the chimney above it, since smoke, draft and odor problems almost always involve both.

Gas Fireplace Service

Burner cleaning, pilot and ignition troubleshooting, soot and odor issues, and general gas fireplace maintenance.

Wood-Burning Fireplace Service

Firebox cleaning, cracked panel repair, damper repair, and smoke chamber and draft correction.

  • Fireplace cleaning: firebox, smoke chamber, damper area, ash and soot removal.
  • Fireplace repair: cracked firebox panels, damaged masonry, smoke and draft problems.
  • Fireplace installation, including wood-burning and prefabricated fireplace components.

Dryer Vent Cleaning — Chimney Masters

Dryer Vents

Dryer Vent Cleaning

A dryer vent line fills with lint the same way a flue fills with creosote — gradually, and mostly out of sight. Restricted airflow makes a dryer run hotter and longer than it should, and lint buildup is a well-known home fire risk.

  • Dryer vent cleaning — clearing lint from the full vent run, not just the lint trap.
  • Dryer vent repair — fixing crushed, disconnected or poorly routed vent lines.
  • Dryer vent installation — rerouting or installing a vent line correctly where it was never done right.
