Chimney Sweeping
A clean flue is what stands between a warm October fire and a chimney fire. We pull the soot, tar and creosote out of the flue, smoke chamber and firebox so the smoke goes up the stack instead of back into your front room.
See what's included →Chimney Inspection
An inspection tells you what is actually happening inside the flue, cracks, blockages, creosote or a failing liner, before it turns into a fire or a carbon-monoxide problem you cannot see from the living room.
See what's included →Masonry & Repair
Damp Baltimore falls and freeze-thaw winters are brutal on old brick. Water gets into a failing mortar joint, freezes, expands and pries the masonry apart a little more every year. We stop that cycle with repairs that match what is already on your roofline.
See what's included →Caps & Liners
A cap keeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue. A liner makes sure the smoke and gases go up and out the way they should. Two small parts that head off the big, expensive problems.
See what's included →Waterproofing
Brick is a sponge. Every wet Baltimore fall your chimney soaks up water, and every freeze that water expands and cracks the masonry from the inside out. Waterproofing breaks the cycle without sealing moisture in.
See what's included →Fireplace Service
A fireplace that will not draft, a damper stuck shut or a gas log that will not light, we fix the parts that actually get used, for both wood and gas setups.
See what's included →Creosote Removal
Creosote is the tar that burning wood leaves behind, and in its hardened, glazed form it is the number-one cause of chimney fires. A standard brush will not touch it. This takes the right tools.
See what's included →Animal Removal
Scratching, chirping or a bad smell coming from the fireplace usually means something moved in. We get the animal out humanely, clean up the mess and seal the way it got in.

Damp falls and freeze-thaw winters are hard on old Baltimore brick. A free inspection now beats a crown rebuild in January.
