Chimney Sweep in Northwood, Baltimore
Northwood, up around Morgan State, is a tidy grid of 1940s and 50s brick rowhomes, and those flues are now the age where liners and crowns start needing attention.
We sweep, inspect and repair chimneys across Northwood and the surrounding NE city neighborhoods. Older flues here frequently need a stainless liner and some tuckpointing to be truly safe.
Whether you own the home or manage a rental, you get a photo report and a firm quote so there are no surprises. Free inspections, same-week appointments.
Up around Morgan State and the grid between Hillen Road and Loch Raven Boulevard, the rowhomes went up in the forties and fifties and their chimneys are all arriving at the same age together. Party walls make it more complicated than it looks, because one stack often serves two houses and the responsibility has never been written down anywhere. We work that out before any repair starts, so nobody pays for their neighbour's brick.
What we usually find on Northwood chimneys
- Post-war rowhome stacks all reaching the same age in the same decade
- Shared party walls where one chimney serves two homes and neither owner is sure whose it is
- Flat roofs where the flashing at the base of the stack fails long before the brick does
- Liners sized for coal or oil, now venting gas at the wrong volume
