Chimney Sweep In Kansas City KS
- Especially for wood-burning fireplaces, chimney sweep services are critical for keeping your flue clean and safe. Our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps have two primary jobs:
- Remove creosote from the interior walls of your chimney or its liner
- Remove obstructions that can cause drafting problems
Creosote is a highly flammable byproduct of burning logs. This substance clings to the inside of your chimney and can easily ignite and start a chimney fire.
Is your flue blocked? Various things can cause this including animal nests, leaves, twigs and other debris. Cleaning all this out keeps smoke and carbon monoxide from backing up into the home.
Chimney Inspections
Fluesbrothers is a member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild, and our techs are certified by the National Fireplace Institute. When we perform chimney inspections and recommend masonry repairs, tuckpointing, leaky chimney repair and other tasks, you can be assured these tasks are necessary and will improve the function of your fireplace and chimney while saving you money on larger repairs down the road.
Professional inspections include close assessment of the fireplace damper, the flue liner, the chimney’s interior and exterior bricks and mortar, the chimney crown, the chimney flashing, the chimney cap and all other components. A thorough inspection allows you to catch trouble and get it fixed before more serious damage occurs.
Chimney Leak & Repair In Kansas City KS
Several possible reasons exist for a leaky chimney. Water can come in under the flashing; a damaged or missing chimney cap can let water penetrate the system; cracks and compromises in the masonry can give water a clear path to cause damage.
Over the years, a variety of things can go wrong with a chimney, and we’ve seen all of them. Our chimney repair service includes:
- Chimney liner repair and installation
- Flashing repair and installation
- Mortar and brick replacement
- Tuckpointing
- Firebox rebuild
- Waterproofing and sealing masonry leaks
- Rebuilding of cement chimney crowns
- And all other repairs needed to keep your fireplace and chimney in top shape.
For all chimney repair services including masonry work and chimney rebuilding, call Fluesbrothers of Kansas City, KS, first.
Chimney Masonry Work
Brick spalling, small and large cracks, breaks in mortar joints and missing sections of mortar are common with older chimneys. Serious decomposition of a chimney can bring about a safety risk for anyone in its vicinity – a chimney that’s damaged badly enough can literally fall apart. Water is another concern when doing chimney masonry work. When water from rain or snow gets into the bricks or cracks in the mortar, it freezes and expands, causing more damage. We’ll help you keep your chimney safe from extensive water damage.
