The weather in Colorado Springs CO and Castlerock, CO areas can change from one extreme to another. With the swings in temperature come gale-force winds that can be present on a sunny day or in a blizzard. These winds can wreak havoc on your chimney caps, flue caps, and chase tops. All it takes is the wind finding an edge to peel a cover back. Sometimes a tree limb carried by strong wind can smash a chimney cap or chase top or put a dent in your chimney topper. We offer chimney repair services that can repair or replace your damaged chimney covers.
A clean chimney is a healthy chimney. When you have your chimney cleaned at least once a year, it will experience fewer problems over the life of the chimney. Buildups of creosote inside your chimney from burning wood are not only a fire hazard; they can produce an overwhelming smell. Mold and mildew can also grow inside your chimney, exposing your family to unhealthy spores. Wildlife that gets in your chimney can leave droppings and bits of food that invite insects. Regularly cleaning your chimney is not only good for your chimney's health, but your family's as well.
To determine if your chimney caps or any part of your chimney are in good shape, we must first inspect them. We use a three-level chimney inspection method to examine your chimney for any defects or damage. Included in this process is a video inspection of the interior of your chimney, so we leave no stone unturned in the inspection.
Once your chimney has been inspected and defects or damage detected, our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps will begin the needed repairs. We will treat your home as if it were our own and clean up any debris and trash we create during the repair. Here are just a few of the repairs we do:
Chimney caps and flue are all vital to the longevity of your chimney and fireplace. Flue caps, chimney caps, and chase tops protect your chimney and fireplace from water entering them, and they seal off the flue from rain, snow, and hail. They also serve as no vacancy sign to wildlife seeking shelter in your chimney. Our chimney sweeps can repair damaged chimney caps, flue caps, or chase tops, and if they are too damaged, we can quickly replace them. See why the greater Colorado Springs, CO area trusts our sweeps to take care of their damaged chimney covers.
Your chimney isn't just bricks and mortar; it has a liner on its interior. The liners protect the chimney from extreme temperatures caused by fires that cause brick and mortar to deteriorate. Your chimney liner is too important to ignore; without it, the heat from your chimney can set the attic, ceiling or roof on fire. If you have a bad chimney liner, we can replace it with either a stainless-steel liner or pour in FireGuard Refractory Mortar.
When water can get inside a chimney, it's only a matter of time before a host of problems occur. Water freezes in the wintertime and thaws when the springs arrive, which can be on the same day in the Colorado, CO area. The expansion and contraction of brick lead to cracks and broken bricks that eventually cause your chimney to fall. We can repair leaks in your chimney before they become catastrophic and expensive.
In the course of our chimney inspections, we run into several issues:
We can rectify all of these issues and more.
