About this service
Fireplace repair involves fixing the interior box, the damper, and the surrounding hearth area. You need this service if the firebricks inside your fireplace are broken, the damper is stuck open or closed, or if the masonry hearth is cracked. A well-functioning fireplace should draw air efficiently; if you find it difficult to start a fire or notice smoke venting into the room instead of up the flue, it is time to have a professional examine the system.
Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

What does chimney flashing repair entail?
Chimney flashing repair involves inspecting and repairing the metal barrier installed where the chimney meets the roofline to prevent water intrusion. Professionals will examine the existing flashing for signs of damage, corrosion, or improper installation. If leaks are present, the flashing may need to be resealed, adjusted, or completely replaced with durable materials like aluminum or stainless steel. This critical repair prevents water damage to your roof, attic, and the chimney structure itself, ensuring a watertight seal. We can assess and repair your flashing.
What types of chimney flue repair are common?
Common chimney flue repair types include relining the flue with a new material, such as a stainless steel insert or a poured-in-place refractory cement liner, to address cracks or deterioration in the original lining. Minor cracks might be sealed with specialized high-temperature compounds. Ensuring the flue liner is smooth and free of obstructions is crucial for proper draft and to prevent heat transfer to combustible materials within the chimney structure. We can evaluate your flue liner's condition.
