From diagnosis to repair of chimney damage
A discount counted from your own inspection
Any service you book within 72 hours of your free inspection comes with a 10% discount. The window runs from the inspection at your home, so it depends on your schedule rather than a date printed somewhere. It covers repairs and the other services listed on the estimate.
Take the time you need to read the scope and ask questions. If you decide within that window, the discount applies to the services you book. If you need longer, you can still book the work later, just without the discount. Either way, the scope, the materials and the sequence stay exactly as described.
A new appliance means checking the flue
A flue lined for one appliance may not suit another. Adding an insert, switching fuels or connecting a different heater changes the exhaust the chimney has to carry. The code ties the lining to the appliance served, and appliance manuals often set their own requirements as well.
Tell us before you buy or install new equipment that will use the chimney. We look at the existing lining and explain whether it can serve the new appliance or needs work first. Sorting that out early avoids installing an appliance the chimney cannot properly support.
Different metals touching can corrode
When two different metals touch in the presence of water, one of them can corrode faster than it would on its own. On a chimney this can happen where a new cap meets old flashing or where fasteners differ from the sheet they hold.
We look at what metals are already in place before choosing new ones. Replacement parts are selected so they sit well with the metals around them, or they are separated where that is not possible. The estimate names the metal for each new part.
The trouble with quick patch kits
Patch kits, spray sealants and roof cement promise a fast fix for chimney cracks and leaks. Applied over damp or broken material, they tend to fail and can make the real repair harder to carry out.
If you have already tried a patch, tell us what was used and where. We may need to remove it to see the damage beneath. There is no judgment in that, and knowing about it early keeps the estimate accurate. The removal is listed as its own step, so you can see what it adds before approving.

Chimney and roof repair questions
What happens to the old brick, mortar and metal?
We clean up as the work goes and haul the debris away when the job is done. Broken masonry, old metal and packaging leave the property with us rather than in your bins.
When would an engineer need to look at my chimney?
Signs such as cracks running through several bricks, stepped cracking, a stack pulling away from the house or widespread broken brick can point to a structural cause. We tell you when that assessment should come before repair.
Can you repair a chimney that also vents a furnace or water heater?
Yes, with planning. If the repair would interrupt that vent, the appliance may need a heating or plumbing contractor to disconnect and reconnect it, and we build that step into the schedule.
