The best way to keep your chimney in great shape is with annual chimney cleaning and inspections. Timely repair work also contributes to a safe and efficient chimney. The Chimney Guys has provided these services in Newark, Ohio, since 2004. Here’s how we can help you.
Chimney Sweep & Chimney Inspection
Chimney sweeping involves the use of specialized tools and equipment to remove flammable creosote and drafting obstructions from chimney flues. Ignited creosote is the #1 cause of chimney fires in Ohio each year.
Licensed chimney inspections, from basic to advanced, are designed to find early signs of problems and better diagnose serious problems. Chimney inspections save lives and homes.
Chimney & Fireplace Masonry Repair
Sometimes, a severely damaged chimney or fireplace will need to be partially or completely rebuilt. In other cases, basic masonry repair that includes brick replacement and tuckpointing to strengthen mortar joints is sufficient.
Our skilled masons do rebuilding and repair jobs correctly and in compliance with state and local building codes.
Common Problems
Many things can go wrong with a chimney and fireplace. Here are some of the problems we address for our Newark customers:
- Fires that burn sluggishly and don’t stay lit
- Smelly chimneys
- White, black or other stains on the chimney’s exterior
- Smoke backing up into the house
- Rusted or broken fireplace dampers
- Leaky chimneys and collateral damage
- Carbon monoxide alarms going off near the fireplace
- Debris and small animals in the flue
Chimney & Furnace Liners
The liners inside chimney and furnace flues are designed to channel away combustion materials. When damaged, these liners can allow dangerous carbon monoxide to spread into the home.
A damaged chimney liner means that intense heat and flames may come into contact with adjacent home building materials. Both types of liners should be inspected annually and cleaned, if necessary.
Gas Fireplace Service
Another item on your annual checklist should be an inspection and service for your gas fireplace or stove. Our Newark gas fireplace specialists will check the gas lines and look closely at every part and component of your appliance. We know how to spot early signs of trouble and get it repaired fast.
