Our Services The National Fire Protection Association recommends that homeowners have their chimney inspected at least once a year. United Chimney offers a full portfolio of chimney and venting system services. Whether it’s woodstoves, fireplaces, chimneys, or dryer vents, we understand the intricacies of the venting systems in your home. And we’re equipped to address all of your maintenance and safety needs. Our services include: Chimney Inspections & Sweeping Our expertly trained specialists use state-of-the-art equipment to inspect and sweep chimneys of all kinds, including oil-, wood-, and gas-burning chimneys. While sweeping your system, we ensure that it’s in working order. We look for any problems that could prevent peak performance and recommend what is needed for your system to burn cleanly and safely. When necessary, we use video inspection camera equipment to examine hidden parts of the flue. Dryer Vent Inspections & Cleaning In addition to servicing chimneys, we inspect and clean dryer vents. A thorough sweep by one of our dryer exhaust technicians includes searching for any issues that might interfere with optimal operation. Highly effective diagnostic tools allow us to detect and resolve issues before they become problems. Waterproofing/Repair & Restoration We offer the full range of repairs to chimney systems, big and small—from repairing leaky flashing to tuckpointing and masonry repair to relining the flue and chimney rebuilding. Rebuild Fireplaces Water damage resulting from a missing chimney cap is all too common. We remedy this situation by reconstructing the back walls of fireplaces, returning them to their original pristine condition. Rebuild Crowns Improperly built crowns are another common problem. If yours is cracked or poorly constructed—allowing water penetration or posing a fire hazard—we’ll build a proper concrete one that’s guaranteed not to crack. Install Chimney Caps The best way to prevent moisture from rain and snow, animals, leaves, and other debris from entering your chimney is to install a chimney cap. Our high-quality stainless steel caps carry a lifetime warranty. Replace Chase Tops Leaky or damaged chase tops, and those made of masonry, are potential hazards on prefabricated metal fireplaces. We help eliminate problems before they start by replacing masonry and rusty metal chase tops. Water Leak & Condensation Resolution & Repair If water is damaging your fireplace or chimney, inside or out, we’ll find and fix it—no matter the source. Air Vent Problem Resolution The quality of the air you breathe in your home is important, and we take it seriously. Our technicians have extensive knowledge about the entire venting system in your house, and we have the expertise to detect and resolve the full range of air vent issues. Animal Removal If squirrels, raccoons, birds, or other pests have made a home in your chimney or duct, we remove the animals and their nests in order to prevent future infestations.
