Our Services

Chimney Relining

Old, cracked flues lose heat and let gases escape into your home. Stainless steel liners add years to your chimney's life and improve draft efficiency for Tunkhannock homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I sweep my chimney?

Annual sweeping after the heating season is standard. Heavy use may require more frequent cleanings; we'll assess during your inspection.

Do older Tunkhannock homes need different chimney care?

Yes. Historic homes often have unlined chimneys and deteriorated mortar. We inspect carefully and recommend relining or masonry repair to meet modern safety standards.

What does a chimney inspection include?

We examine the flue, cap, crown, mortar, brick, and connections to the roof. We look for creosote, blockages, cracks, and areas needing waterproofing or repair.

How do I know if my chimney needs waterproofing?

Signs include rust stains, damaged mortar, water leaks near the chimney, or white discoloration on exterior brick. Rain and humidity in Wyoming County speed deterioration.

Can I reline my chimney myself?

No. Relining requires specialized equipment and knowledge of building codes. Our licensed team ensures your chimney is safe and compliant.

What's the difference between a cap and a crown?

A cap sits at the very top and keeps out water and animals. A crown is the concrete or brick seal below the cap that slopes water away from the flue. Both matter.
