Great, Local, Freeport Chimney Company

The chimney is one of the most under appreciated things of a property. Your chimney tends to not receive the redress or the concern usually afforded other concerning household systems. A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather could be a potential safety hazard. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue obstructions and uplifted masonry materials all present a problem to buildings.

Inexactly lined chimneys might cause a number of ritzy structural & cosmetic problems for the client and also create potentially pertinent safety hazards. Lots of masonry chimney products (except for real stone) suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. While most stone is not affected by water penetration, large amounts of mortar are required to bond the stone correctly. Chimney caps, also called rain covers, are probably the most inexpensive preventive measure that a consumer should employ to prevent water penetration and issues to the chimney. Installing chimney caps & dampers may protect your chimney and maintain a safe chimney damper. Our masons might advise an owner in your own subjective situation what is best for you.

One of the least expensive parts of the chimney venting system is the one that will prevent some of the most inordinate trouble. If you don’t have a chimney cap on your chimney, stop reading & call us for an estimate now! Every chimney expert knows that a safe chimney cap is a must. The job of the chimney cap is to stop rain from entering the flue & to stop pests from building nests in your chimney or using the chimney for a doorway into your home. In especially windy areas chimneys also will prevent downdrafts by blocking crosswinds from entering the chimney. With precision engineering this damper is easy to open and close. When closed, the damper serves as a chimney cap and with a slight pull of the chain it releases the spring-loaded top into the open position when you’re ready to enjoy a nice fire. Even just falling leaves might build up without the most apt chimney cap in place.

Metal fireboxes, liners and dampers all could suffer rust & deterioration. Chimney liner tiles & mortar may crumble & crack leading to pivotal leaks. The chimney cap cover deflects the rain & the side mesh areas prevent pests and leaves from entering the chimney. A properly fitted chimney cap or guard might slow down wear-and-tear on your chimney & lining, potentially saving you from large repair costs.

We will be happy to come out & make a recommendation for you & provide a written estimate to install a new chimney cap, chimney damper or guard on your chimney.

Chimneys can block the right ventilation and even enter your home, potentially spreading disease and wreaking havoc. Our strong mesh and lids could keep even the most determined animals out! Your fireplace can spew sparks out into the environment, onto the roof or nearby flammable materials. Stray sparks could be stopped cold by the meshing cover that is a component of all of our chimney caps.

The method chosen or recommended for your chimney may depend on the type of deposits. The Thermocrete process coats the inside of the chimney from top to bottom with a highly durable ceramic sealant. A lining cleaning is cost-effective & the best possible for your fireplace chimney and in chimneys serving gas, oil, wood or coal burning appliances. It conforms to any shape, size and length of the chimney and become a non-destructive chimney lining system which is corrosion-proof, flame and heat resistant, airtight liner with a rigidity of a steel. A stainless steel chimney liner is air & water tight.

Stainless steel liners have been UL Tested under the most extreme conditions including multiple simulated chimney fires exceeding 2100F so you’ll sleep soundly at night knowing that your residence is safer for yourself and your family. The liner protects the house from heat transfer to combustibles. Liners protect the masonry from the corrosive byproducts of combustion. The flue gases are acidic in nature & literally eat away at the mortar joints from inside the chimney. As the mortar joints wear away, heat transfers more rapidly to the nearby combustibles & dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide may leak into the living areas of the property. Your is responsible for not only allowing the products of combustion a way out of the house, but the draft generated by the chimney also supplies the combustion air to the appliance. Our obvious function is to remove flue deposits and evaluate the total condition of the chimney system.

Our goal is to provide recommendations that could improve the safety & efficiency of your appliance & venting system. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot and creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze more than 1/8 inch may be removed. We employ numerous cleaning plans to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney inspections are the only way to know when the chimney needs fixing.
