Routine sweeping and cleaning that keeps your system drafting safely.
Soot, creosote and blockages cleared out — so your fireplace drafts clean and burns safely all winter.
Learn more →The traditional rod-and-brush sweep, done thoroughly and cleanly — the foundation of a safe fireplace.
Learn more →The part you actually see — firebox, glass, and surround — cleaned so your fireplace looks as good as it works.
Learn more →Camera-backed inspections that show what's really happening inside.
A camera goes where eyes can't. We show you the actual condition of your flue and masonry before recommending a thing.
Learn more →The firebox, damper and connections that make a fireplace safe to use — checked by people who know what failure looks like.
Learn more →Buying or selling a Pittsburgh home with a fireplace? Know the true condition of the chimney before you sign.
Learn more →When something's wrong — or you simply want peace of mind — a focused safety evaluation tells you where you stand.
Learn more →From draft problems to full rebuilds, corrected the right way.
Crowns, flashing, brickwork and liners — repaired before small cracks turn into major rebuilds.
Learn more →Water stains near the fireplace? We track leaks to their actual source and stop them — not just cover the drywall.
Learn more →If smoke rolls into the room instead of up the flue, something's interfering with the draft. We find out what.
Learn more →A chimney that smells — smoky, musty, or worse — is telling you something. We find the cause and clear it.
Learn more →When masonry has deteriorated past the point of repair, a rebuild restores the structure — done right, to last.
Learn more →Bringing a tired, deteriorated chimney back to safe, sound, good-looking condition — with respect for the original.
Learn more →Birds, squirrels, and raccoons love an open flue. We remove them, clear the mess, and keep them out for good.
Learn more →Brick, mortar, flashing and waterproofing against Western PA weather.
Spalling brick, cracked joints, deteriorated stone — masonry restored by people who understand why it failed.
Learn more →The joints between the bricks do the quiet work of holding everything together. When they fail, we renew them.
Learn more →Raking out failed mortar and packing in fresh — the single most cost-effective way to extend a chimney's life.
Learn more →Porous brick soaks up water like a sponge. A breathable sealer stops that — and the freeze-thaw damage that follows.
Learn more →The seam where the chimney meets the roof is a top source of leaks. Proper flashing keeps that joint watertight.
Learn more →The parts that keep heat contained and water out.
The liner is the chimney's most safety-critical part — and the hardest to see. Our camera shows its true condition.
Learn more →A cracked or gapped liner lets heat and gases reach places they shouldn't. When it's repairable, we repair it.
Learn more →The liner is the chimney's inner shield — containing heat and gases and protecting the masonry. We install it right.
Learn more →When a liner is beyond repair, relining with stainless steel restores safe venting — often better than the original.
Learn more →A small part that does a big job — keeping rain, animals and debris out of your flue, and sparks off your roof.
Learn more →A damaged cap is barely better than no cap. We repair or replace it so your flue stays protected.
Learn more →The crown is the chimney's roof. When it cracks, water pours into the masonry below — so we seal and restore it.
Learn more →When a crown has crumbled beyond sealing, we rebuild it the way it should have been built — to shed water for decades.
Learn more →Wood, gas, and masonry fireplaces serviced and restored.
Cracked firebox, failing damper, tired masonry — we repair the fireplace itself, inside and out.
Learn more →The real thing — the crackle, the warmth, the character. We keep wood-burning fireplaces, stoves and inserts safe.
Learn more →Clean, convenient, and low-maintenance — but not no-maintenance. We keep gas fireplaces burning safely.
Learn more →The firebox holds the fire. When its brick and mortar crack, safety is on the line — so we rebuild it right.
Learn more →The hidden transition above your firebox funnels smoke into the flue. When it's rough or damaged, draft and safety suffer.
Learn more →A damper that sticks or won't seal wastes heat all winter and lets weather in year-round. Often, it can simply be repaired.
Learn more →When a damper is too far gone to repair, a new one — especially a top-sealing model — restores a tight seal for good.
Learn more →New caps, liners, dampers and fireplaces installed to code.
New chimney system or a major component? We install liners, caps, crowns and connections correctly — and to code.
Learn more →Adding or upgrading a fireplace or insert? We install it correctly — with venting and clearances done to code.
Learn more →Tell us what you're seeing and we'll help you figure out the right service.
