High’s Chimney Service is a member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild, and our technicians are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America.  What this means to you is the highest level of competence and skill when we clean and inspect your chimney.  A thorough, annual chimney cleaning will remove creosote buildup from inside the flue and clean out any accumulation of leaves, twigs, small tree branches, animal nests and other obstructions that might have gotten into the system.  Creosote is highly flammable and is responsible for the majority of chimney fires each year in the U.S.

If your chimney needs repair, we can get it fixed quickly and safely.  Our chimney repair services in Alexandria include:

The goal with chimney inspection and chimney repair is to spot problems early so they can be fixed before more extensive damage occurs.

If your chimney is leaking, it means water is getting into the system.  Discolored walls adjacent to the chimney, water in the firebox, staining on the masonry and strong odors coming from the fireplace are all signs of a chimney leak.  Our technicians know how to pinpoint where the leak exists and perform the necessary repair or component-replacement work to solve the problem.

As a chimney ages, it can begin to show signs of wear.  Often small cracks appear in the bricks and mortar, which should be addressed immediately before they expand.  Once water begins to seep into cracks in the masonry, significant damage is very likely.  If the current damage is minor, our team can use a sealant to prevent water infiltration.  For more extensive decomposition, we use a process called tuckpointing to fill crumbling or missing areas within the masonry with fresh new mortar, thereby restoring the chimney to a safe operational state.

When a chimney has suffered serious damage because of a chimney fire, years of extreme weather or the normal settling of the house, chimney rebuilding may be necessary.  High’s Chimney Service employs skilled masonry techs who have years of experience rebuilding damaged chimneys, making them safe to use for many years to come.
