Chimney sweeping and inspections
All chimneys, both masonry and factory built, as well as wood stove inserts, and free standing stoves should be swept and inspected annually per NFPA code. Even if a fireplace is not used frequently it should still be inspected annually for possible hidden construction defects or general deterioration due to age or weather damage..
Chimney sweeps and inspections typically cost from around $150 and up according to the type of chimney and driving distance to the job.
Dryer vent cleaning typically varies from $125 and up according to configuration and distance to job..
Be cautious of extremely low or high priced quotes.

Dryer vent cleaning and repair
There are many fire hazards to consider throughout your home. One fire hazard that is often overlooked is dryer and dryer lint fires. We rely heavily on these helpful appliances. Yet keeping their venting system in top operating condition is something that many people have very limited knowledge about.
A quick bit of research presents some startling statistics. There are about 17,0000 clothes dryer fires in residential buildings annually in the United States. These preventable fires cause injuries, deaths, and property damage. Have your dryer vent inspected and cleaned by professional and experienced technicians. Annual cleaning and inspection of the dryer and vent is necessary.
​
Here are a few tips to help keep your dryer operating more safely.
​
-
Keep your clothes dryer free of lint.
-
Inspect your outside dryer vent twice a year. (Many dryer vents terminate on roofs which makes inspection difficult and should be performed by a professional).
-
Use the right type of ducting material.
-
Take special care drying clothes stained with volatile chemicals such as gasoline, cooking oils, cleaning agents, or finishing oils and stains.
-
Buy dryers that use moisture sensors rather than ordinary thermostats to end the auto-dry cycle.
-
Occasionally wipe the sensor with a soft cloth or cotton ball and rubbing alcohol to keep it functioning accurately.
-
Keep the areas surrounding your dryer clutter-free.
Water damage specialist
We have extensive experience and knowledge at putting a stop to water penetration into masonry chimneys which causes costly damage to these structures..
Customers often comment "My chimney has never leaked before now." But masonry chimneys absorb tremendous amounts of water from the day they are constructed. Keeping water out of a chimney is not a priority to most contractors or masons. If water penetration is not prevented the structure will fail to perform it's intended function and it will fail prematurely.
