Chimney Sweep In Rockville MD

Unswept chimneys are the biggest cause of chimney fires. Creosote is a black, tarry and flammable substance that is a natural by-product of wood-burning. It sticks to the walls inside the chimney and continues to accumulate with every burn. To reduce the risk of fire, it is recommended homeowners have their chimneys cleaned by a professional chimney sweep at least once yearly. Our chimney cleaning service is performed by a Certified Chimney Sweep. The technician will thoroughly clean the chimney, remove the creosote and eliminate hazardous obstructions like leaves, bird’s nests and other debris that may be blocking the flue. 

Chimney Repairs

High’s Chimney Service is a member of several national credentialing organizations including the National Fireplace Institute and the Chimney Safety Institute of America. Our Certified Master Chimney Technician can perform any chimney repair, including:

• Masonry repair
• Fireplace damper repair
• Chimney liner repair / Chimney relining
• Chimney crown repair
• Chimney flashing repair
• Chimney cap repair

The chimney structure is comprised of a variety of components that contain the heat while venting toxic fumes and contaminants. If any of these components, like the flashing, crown or masonry have cracks or other damages there is an increased risk of fire and carbon monoxide exposure. Our skilled masons and technicians provide expert chimney repairs for your home in Rockville, MD.

Chimney Leaks

While chimneys are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, the masonry and other components naturally deteriorate over time. A broken cap, cracks in the crown, and missing or spalling bricks are just some of the problems that can allow water to leak in the chimney. Moisture inside the flue, or on the floor of the firebox and water stains are some of the signs of a water leak. It is not safe to use a chimney that has a water leak. Our Certified Chimney Professional has the equipment and knowledge required to track down the source of the leak and quickly make the repairs that are necessary for a safe chimney operation.

Chimney Masonry Work

It’s important to maintain the structural integrity of the chimney. When you notice cracks in the masonry, chipped or missing bricks, or erosion of the mortar joints, making timely repairs is critical. If the problem continues to worsen a minor masonry repair can turn into a major chimney rebuilding project. Our expert masons will fill in the gaps, replace any missing bricks and make other masonry repairs. Not only will your chimney look great, you will have peace of mind knowing that your fireplace and chimney will provide years of safe operation.

Chimney Rebuilding

When there are severe structural issues, a partial or complete chimney rebuilding will be necessary. This is often caused by years of neglect, foundation issues or home settling. It will need extensive brick work and you may notice that the chimney is leaning to one side. Without chimney rebuilding, it is in danger of a total collapse which will likely result in significant damage to your home. If your chimney is in disrepair, our expert masons and craftsmen will inspect the chimney and recommend the best solution for repairing the chimney.
