Safety First, Every Visit

We follow NFPA and CSIA best practices, use HEPA filtration to keep your home tidy, and document findings with high‑resolution photos. If we spot hazards—like stage 3 creosote, missing clay tiles, gaps in the liner, or crown cracks—we explain options clearly and give you written estimates.

Connecticut winters are tough on masonry. We use water‑repellent sealants, crown coatings, and stainless components that resist freeze‑thaw cycles, wind‑driven rain, and wildlife.

Chimney Care Tips for Glastonbury, CT

Annual Sweep: Your First Line of Defense

A routine sweep removes creosote—a combustible byproduct of wood burning—that can ignite at high temperatures. In a typical New England heating season, glazed (stage 3) creosote can build up quickly, especially with unseasoned wood or restricted airflow. We brush, vacuum, and verify a clear smoke path to reduce fire risk and improve efficiency.

Stop Water Before It Wrecks Masonry

Water is a chimney’s #1 enemy. Freeze‑thaw cycles widen tiny cracks into costly damage. A properly formed crown, intact flashing, and a rust‑proof cap protect your structure. We repair mortar joints with color‑matched tuckpointing, seal porous brick, and reline compromised flues to restore safe venting.

What Happens During a Level II Inspection?

For property transfers or after a change in appliance, a Level II inspection is recommended. We perform a visual exam of accessible areas, run a video camera through the flue to check tiles, joints, offsets, and clearances, and then provide a written report with photos and repair recommendations if needed.
