About this service
Emergency chimney repair is required when a chimney is structurally compromised to the point of being a safety threat, such as after a chimney fire, a lightning strike, or a partial collapse. If your chimney stack is leaning, if you have a gas leak near the unit, or if the flue is blocked and forcing smoke back into your home, you need immediate professional help. These situations require urgent stabilization to prevent further property damage or dangerous exposure to toxic gases.
As temperatures drop, everyone realizes their chimney needs attention at the same time. If you haven't had an inspection this year, it is vital to clear out blockages like bird nests or leaves before your first fire. We help you beat the rush so you can safely enjoy your fireplace as soon as the weather turns.
