Chimney and fireplace company serving Belle Meade

Some chimneys carry more than one flue, and our family team works on them for homes in Belle Meade. We repair the crowns, caps, liners and masonry of multi-flue chimneys. Our local team also services the fireplaces and appliances that vent into them, so each flue is judged by what it serves. The free inspection starts by finding out what each flue is for.

We explain the condition of each flue and of the shared top, and you receive a free written estimate with every item priced upfront. A 10% discount comes with each service you approve before 72 hours have passed from the free inspection. Each flue has its own job. One may serve a wood fireplace in the living room and another a fireplace upstairs or a gas appliance.

The masonry chimney section of the Florida Building Code sets out how flues sharing a chimney are separated. The fuel gas volume adds its own rules where a gas appliance vents into masonry. Problems in one flue can affect the next. Smoke from one fireplace can come down a second flue if the tops sit at the same height with nothing between them.

A crack in a dividing wall can let gases pass from one flue into another. At the top, a multi-flue chimney usually needs a cap sized to cover every flue, fastened to the crown or the chimney walls as its maker instructs. Count the fireplaces and appliances in the house for us, and name the room each one sits in.

Mention whether smoke or smells from one ever appear at another. Read us any model labels you can find. During the work, each open flue is covered at the close of the day and debris is hauled away. Your written record lists each flue, and our workmanship warranty covers the repairs.
