Common Problems We Find

Some of the most common signs that your system needs professional help are:

• Odors
• Smoke
• Brick Discoloration
• Moisture
• Rust
• Decaying Masonry Or Joints

Odors and smoke can be a sure sign of a flue obstruction or a draft problem, which means your system is not working as efficiently or as safely as it should. Dealing with these issues immediately can help you save money and can protect you, your family and your environment from the dangers of smoke, carbon monoxide, incomplete combustion and fire.

If you’re noticing any moisture in the bottom of your firebox, any rusted parts (i.e. chimney cap, damper, firebox, chase or chase cover), or any brick discoloration, vegetation, or decaying masonry and joints, there’s a good chance you’ve got a water problem on your hands. Water can quickly and easily lead to expensive repairs, so don’t put off calling us! For more information on chimney leaks and how to prevent them in the future, please click here.
