Chimney Sweep
High’s Chimney Sweep technicians who will clean your chimney are all certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and are members through our company in the National Chimney Sweep Guild. When you run a wood-burning fireplace, it’s very important to have the creosote buildup in the flue professionally cleaned once a year. This way you reduce the possibility of a chimney fire. Chimney sweep services also include the removal of air-flow obstructions such as small animal nests, twigs, leaves and other debris.

The parts that make up a chimney and fireplace system are prone to wear and compromise after many years of use. High’s Chimney Service encourages our Colesville, MD, customers to schedule regular inspections so we can spot any signs of damage early and get it fixed fast.
Chimney Leaks
A leaky chimney can be a serious problem. Infiltrating water can cause the erosion of bricks and mortar, making your chimney a safety hazard. Only a comprehensive inspection by a skilled chimney services company can determine exactly where the leak originates. Once we know that, we can perform the necessary repairs in a timely manner. Common signs of chimney leaks include discolored bricks and nearby walls, strong odors coming from the fireplace and water in the firebox.
Chimney Masonry Work
When a chimney begins showing small cracks, that’s the time to address the problem rather than waiting until extensive damage has occurred. Depending on the specific circumstance, chimney masonry work can include seal coating the cracks to prevent water from getting into the system. For more significant damage, tuckpointing may be done to remove crumbly brick and mortar and replace it with a new, strong and long-lasting compound.
Colesville, MD Chimney Rebuilding
Some older chimneys are damaged to the point they need partial or complete chimney rebuilding. Is your chimney leaning to one side? Are you spotting chunks of masonry around the chimney on the roof or on the ground below? These are signs that your chimney is compromised and unsafe. Don’t delay in scheduling and inspection.
