Seasoned, Local, Mastic Beach Chimney Specialist

The chimney is one of the most overlooked structures of a residence. A Home’s chimney tends to not receive the redress or the concern usually provided other obstructed household systems. A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather may be a potential safety hazard. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue obstructions and loose masonry products all present a risk to houses.

Each year there are thousands of cases of carbon monoxide poisonings due to shodily lined chimneys.

Expressway repairs weakening to all parts of your fireplace or chimney. Whether a resident wishes for a chimney repointing, chimney repairs to missing or loose bricks, repair of a leaking chimney crown, broken flue liner or other chimney complication.

A stone chimney acts and appears like a brick chimney & it could also be protected from the effects of water penetration.

Chimney caps have long been recognized as an important chimney safety and leak-prevention feature.

Defective mortar joints or the use of substandard mortar or brick may greatly increase the tendency to absorb & carry water to the interior of the masonry chimney.

Our experts could advise a client in your own distinct 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 high-priced harm. If you don’t have a chimney cap on your chimney, stop reading & call our chimney pros for an estimate now! Every chimney expert knows that a safe chimney cap is a must.

Many chimney caps today are built from aluminum, galvanized steel or decorative metals.

In especially windy areas chimneys also sometimes prevent downdrafts by blocking crosswinds from entering the chimney.

With precision engineering this damper is easy to open & close, sealing tight when not in use.

It is the perfect upgrade for fireplace chimneys in older houses that hardly ever have a damper.

These blockages can cause fire hazards & smoke back drafting into the building.

Metal fireboxes, liners & dampers all can suffer rust and deterioration. Chimney liner tiles & mortar can crumble and crack, leading to critical damage. The chimney cap cover deflects rain and the side mesh prevents pests and leaves from entering. Still, regular chimney cleaning and maintenance are always recommended.

Our chimney repair & installation technicians are knowledgeable about a wide variety of chimney caps, guards & dampers.

Water starts more problems than any other element. It soaks into porous bricks & weathers the mortar. A chimney cap that covers all flues can protect you from costly repairs.

Chimneys can block correct ventilation and even allow pests to enter your house, potentially spreading disease & causing havoc. Our strong mesh and lids will keep even the most determined animals out!

Your fireplace can send sparks onto the roof or nearby flammable products. Stray sparks can be stopped by the mesh cover that is a component of all our chimney caps.

The method recommended for your chimney will depend on the type of deposits. The Thermocrete process coats the inside of the chimney with a durable ceramic sealant. Thermocrete has UL Listing & is approved for gas & oil.

It conforms to any chimney size & shape, becoming a corrosion-proof, flame- and heat-resistant, airtight system with steel-like rigidity. A stainless steel chimney liner is air- & water-tight.

Stainless steel liners are UL tested under extreme conditions, including simulated chimney fires over 2100°F, so you’ll sleep soundly knowing your house is safer.

The liner protects your house from heat transfer to nearby combustibles. NBS tests showed that unlined chimneys let heat move so quickly that adjacent woodwork caught fire within 3½ hours.

If flue gases penetrate brick & mortar, the chimney’s lifespan is drastically reduced. As mortar joints wear away, heat transfers more quickly to combustibles & gases like carbon monoxide may leak into the house.

Modern stoves and furnaces need a properly-sized flue to operate efficiently. An incorrectly-sized liner can cause creosote buildup in wood stoves & increase carbon monoxide risks.

Our objective is to provide recommendations that will improve the safety and efficiency of your appliance & venting system.

Chimneys should be cleaned when soot and creosote accumulations approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Glaze build-up over 1/8 inch may be removed. Our pros employ several cleaning systems to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney estimates are the only way to know when the chimney requires attention.

Several of the typical chimney cleaning practices we provide include:

Standard Sweep. This is the standard cleaning method & uses brushes to clean the flue. A powerful, well-filtered vacuum prevents soot and creosote from entering the home. This cleaning is effective for soot and light creosote deposits but has little effect on glaze build-up.

Mechanical Sweeping. Mechanical cleaning uses wire brushes, plastic cables, or special chains rotated at high speed by an electric motor. It is often employed to remove hard creosote or glaze deposits. In rare cases where it’s impossible to clean the flue by standard or mechanical methods, chemicals may be used to loosen & dissolve heavy deposits.

A thorough chimney sweep can remove soot, creosote & blockages from the flue liner, smoke chamber and shelf, firebox & damper. Heat, moisture, creosote & gases may be removed, repaired, or relined with a UL-listed liner system or other approved product that will resist corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gases at temperatures correct for the class of the chimney job.

Chemical Cleaning: This requires two trips — sometimes three if necessary. Our chimney experts may usually complete the job in a couple of hours and ensure your residence stays clean and undisturbed. Our pros pride ourselves on “no mess,” top-notch service with minimal interruption to the owner.
