Chimney Sweep
High’s Chimney Service holds membership with the National Chimney Sweep Guild, and our chimney experts are certified by Chimney Safety Institute of America. Our experience has taught us that chimneys connected to wood-burning fireplaces need annual inspections to remove flammable creosote buildup. Cleaning also is needed to ensure there are no obstructions such as animal nests, leaves, twigs or other debris creating an air-flow problem. Count on us for complete chimney cleaning.
Chimney Repairs
Our team members also hold designations as National Fireplace Institute certified technicians. We have the knowledge and tools to make all types of chimney repairs including:
- Chimney liner repair
- Chimney chase top repair
- Chimney cap repair
- Chimney flashing repair
- Fireplace damper repair
- Repairs to the chimney’s masonry
If any of these components aren’t in good working shape, you may end up with a repair bill that far outweighs what it would cost if the problems were solved early. Each fireplace and chimney component is there for a reason, and it’s our job to make sure our Glenwood, MD, customers have everything working exactly as it should.
Chimney Leak In Glenwood
Do you have a leaky chimney? Have you noticed offensive odors coming from the fireplace? What about discolored chimney bricks or walls near the fireplace? Is there water in your firebox? These all point to some kind of chimney leak. We will perform a thorough inspection to track down the source of the leak and then initiate speedy repairs. A leaky chimney is not safe to use and needs to be fixed as quickly as possible to prevent significant damage.
Chimney Masonry Work
Our chimney masonry work includes the use of a spray sealant to keep water out of small cracks. We also do tuckpointing, a process in which damaged areas of brick and mortar are removed and replaced with a strong new compound. Any compromise to a chimney’s masonry can allow water to infiltrate the system. Once inside, water will freeze and expand, leading to more and more damage over time.
Chimney Rebuilding
For chimneys that are seriously damaged from wear, harsh weather or simple old age, High’s Chimney Service can do complete or partial chimney rebuilding. When a significant amount of masonry is dislodging from the chimney structure, you can actually experience a total chimney collapse. This can cause damage to your roof as well as to people in the vicinity of the chimney. We take chimney rebuilding very seriously, because your safety is our #1 concern.
