Canton, CT, Chimney Sweeps
Have you had a thorough chimney cleaning lately? Regular cleaning is important to prevent chimney fires and keep air circulating properly. The Chimney Safety Institute of America, the National Fire Protection Association and most other home safety agencies recommend that chimneys connected to wood-burning fireplaces be cleaned at least once a year to remove flammable creosote and clear away any obstructions. We’re on the job to clean chimneys in Canton and outlying cities and towns year-round.
Chimney Repairs
Northeastern Chimney offers a full menu of chimney repair services. Our skilled technicians understand what all can go wrong with a chimney and its components, and each has the training to perform expert repair work that gets done right the first time. Here are some of the types of repair services we regularly perform for our customers in Canton, CT.
Chimney Rebuilding & Restoration
When damage to a chimney is caught early, a process called “tuckpointing” can usually be performed to replace missing sections of mortar. Small cracks in the bricks or mortar in some cases can be coated with a sealant to prevent more moisture from entering. Sometimes, however, deterioration is extensive, and the only way to save the chimney system is to rebuild it. Our chimney repair experts are fully trained in this work. You can count on us to restore your chimney to its original safe operating capacity.
Chimney Crowns
One of the things our technicians look for during inspections is cracks in the chimney crown, which is the protective concrete layer at the very top of the chimney. Cracks will allow water to get into the structure. Once inside, the water freezes and expands, causing further damage. When caught early, this problem can be fixed relatively inexpensively. If left unaddressed, the damage can be severe and require a partial or complete chimney rebuild.
Leaky Chimneys
Have you noticed water in your firebox or staining on the interior or exterior walls of your home? What about discoloration on the bricks of the chimney itself? These and other signs tell you there’s a leak somewhere in the chimney structure. Through meticulous inspection, we’ll determine where the compromise exists and initiate a solution quickly before extensive – and expensive – damage occurs.
