Chimney Cleaning In Olney MD
Our chimney sweeps are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America. Regular chimney cleanings are important for reducing the risk of a fire. Throughout the winter, fire protection agencies around the state respond to home fires caused by excessive creosote. Creosote is a natural by-product of combustion. Every time the chimney is ignited, creosote is formed. Most of the sticky, tarry substance is vented through the chimney, but some of it sticks to the interior walls in the flue. A professional chimney cleaning at least once per year by a certified chimney sweep is the best way to ensure the removal of creosote, soot, ash and air flow obstructions.
Chimney Repairs
Our Certified Chimney Professionals and Certified Chimney Reliners are industry experts for all chimney repairs, including:
- Chimney liner repair
- Chimney masonry repair

- Chimney flashing repair
- Fireplace damper repair
From small minor cracks in the masonry to complete restorations, we do it all. No job is too big or too small. Making timely chimney repairs is the best way to protect your chimney from further damage and excessive deterioration. Even small cracks in the surface or flashing can let water inside the chimney. This can soften the masonry, damage the liner, rust the damper and damage other components resulting in an unsafe chimney.
Chimney Leaks
A water leak can occur in the chimney at any time. Moisture in the firebox, water spots and stains in the flue and a smoky fireplace are all signs of a possible water leak. Our certified chimney technician will inspect the chimney to locate the source of the leak and make the necessary repairs. We respond to chimney leaks quickly giving our customers in Olney the peace of mind knowing that their chimney will be safe for use.
Chimney Masonry Work
If you have an older home or if your chimney has a weathered appearance, it probably needs some masonry work. Over time, harsh winter conditions can eventually cause cracks in the masonry. From tiny holes in the bricks to cracked or missing bricks, its important these repairs be made by an experienced chimney mason. That’s because damaged masonry can allow water to leak inside the chimney where additional damage can spread quickly. Also, the porous brick material will continue to absorb moisture leading to more extensive masonry work.
Chimney Rebuilding
Sometimes the chimney damage is so extensive that it needs to be either partially or completely rebuilt. Chimney rebuilding is a huge undertaking and should only be done by an experienced chimney contractor like High’s Chimney Service. Chimneys with structural damage are in danger of collapsing. This can cause extensive damage to your home.
