We're members of the National Association of Chimney Sweeps, and we have the decades of experience and skill to efficiently and effectively fix your chimney problems:

Chimney Repointing and Brickwork Repair: The masonry mortar in your chimney is essentially the glue holding the bricks together. If the mortar has started to crumble, the brickwork is no longer structurally sound--and your chimney may begin to lose bricks, lean, or even collapse. Chimney repointing from A1 Chimney Sweep & Heating Co. replaces old, brittle mortar with fresh mortar that can solidly hold the bricks in place, ensuring your chimney will stand straight and tall for years to come. Our chimney contractors can also replace broken or missing bricks to keep your chimney looking and working great. Keep in mind that while chimney repointing and brickwork repair may seem like purely aesthetic issues, they can help resolve leaks and prevent further deterioration of your chimney.

Chimney Relining: Many older chimneys are lined with fireproof clay tiles and sometimes even a layer of mortar, but these types of linings can crack because of chimney fires and other problems. If your chimney liner is cracked, it may be allowing toxic gases to leak into your home every time you light a fire. The professionals at A1 Chimney Sweep & Heating Co. provide chimney relining services to help eliminate cracks and leaks. We can either repair your cracked clay chimney liner or replace it with a stainless steel chimney liner (the more modern solution). Critical for protecting your chimney from extreme heat and your family from noxious fumes, chimney relining from A1 Chimney Sweep & Heating Co. can help keep your chimney in top condition.

Chimney Waterproofing: Built from porous brick, your chimney is exposed to wind, rain, and severe weather. That means water can seep into your chimney's brickwork, and with repeated cycles of freezing and thawing, the brick and mortar can crack, crumble, and break away. A1 Chimney Sweep & Heating Co. provides complete chimney waterproofing services, applying a waterproofing agent to protect your chimney from moisture-based deterioration. Our chimney waterproofing process is completely safe for your chimney and dries clear (with no shiny finish) for invisible protection that doesn't compromise the beauty of your chimney!

Chimney Caps: Chimney caps are essentially a "hat" that prevents water and animals from entering your flue. Long-term exposure to water can lead to crumbling mortar, cracked bricks, and other problems, while animals can clog your chimney, create foul odors (when deceased animals become trapped), and create a serious health hazard! A correctly installed chimney cap shields your chimney from both animals and water, effectively eliminating these problems. A1 Chimney Sweep & Heating Co. offers a variety of difference chimney cap styles, providing different looks and features for your home. Call today to learn more about chimney cap installation from our professional chimney contractors.
