Chimney Sweep/Chimney Cleaning

The safest chimney is a clean chimney. The buildup of flammable creosote can lead to a dangerous chimney fire, and obstructions such as leaves, twigs, animal nests and dead small animals can obstruct drafting and send smoke and carbon monoxide into your home. All this needs to be cleaned out.

Our chimney sweep services are overseen by technicians certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and the National Fireplace Institute (NFI). We care about your safety and will always go that extra mile to ensure that the chimney in your Emmitsburg home is safe to use and safe to live around.

Chimney Masonry – Tuckpointing/Seal-Coating

When chimney bricks are becoming loose or when cracks begin appearing, chimney masonry work is needed. Our skilled masons will determine the cause of the problem and initiate repairs quickly.

For areas of missing bricks and mortar, a process called tuckpointing can extend the life of your chimney by filling in open areas with a strong, long-lasting compound. For minor or moderate cracking, a waterproof coating can give you years of effective moisture blocking to prevent water damage. Whatever the level and scope of chimney masonry work you need, our team is more than equipped to get the job done right.

Chimney Rebuilding in Emmitsburg, MD

After many years on the job, chimneys often fall into a dangerous state. They may be leaning to one side, or bricks may be dropping from them seemingly by the day. Chimneys with this kind of damage are not safe to use or live around.

If your chimney is suffering severe damage from old age or from a weather event such as a lightning strike, violent hail or gale-force winds, we can partially or completely rebuild it. Chimney rebuilding will restore safety to your chimney and give you many years of safe operation.
