Your chimney liner is your home's first line of defense
Structural
Structural issues like cracked or spalling masonry, a leaning chimney, or a damaged crown can weaken the chimney over time.
Water Damage
Chimneys are highly susceptible to water damage, which can lead to leaks, rusted components, and deteriorating masonry.
Draft & Ventilation
Chimneys face various issues that impact safety and performance, including structural deterioration, water damage, and ventilation problems.
Flue & Liner
A damaged or improperly sized flue liner can lead to serious safety hazards, including heat and smoke escaping into walls.
Fire & Carbon Monoxide
Chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks are major safety hazards often caused by creosote buildup, poor ventilation, or cracks in the liner.
Cap & Flashing
A missing chimney cap or faulty flashing can lead to water damage, debris buildup, and even animal infestations.

"Fast, courteous, and very knowledgeable."
"Answered all my questions thoroughly. Did all the work to my expectations and beyond. Finished the job timely and at the price he quoted. Had him come back to do additional cement work on a patio as well which was excellent. Highly recommend and would definitely use again if needed." - Jessica Eckenroth
