Chimney & Fireplace Cleaning
Using special rods, chimney brushes, hand tools and a high-powered vacuum, Ultra Pro can effectively remove the soot build up and flaky creosote deposits. Most important, our technicians are instructed to keep your home tidy by taking steps like laying drop cloths and covering areas with tarps to ensure that no dust escapes during the process.
A fireplace can add beauty and warmth to your home, but it requires regular maintenance to prevent dangerous fire hazards. It is recommended that you have your chimney swept and inspected once a year before the heating season to prevent smoke from reentering your home, a build-up of dangerous carbon monoxide, or a chimney fire that can result from creosote build-up igniting.
Our chimney and dryer vent cleaning services will perform a thorough chimney cleaning of your chimney or dryer vent that will leave your home as clean as when we arrived. We can also inspect your chimney, fireplace, and dryer vent to spot potential hazards and recommend needed repairs to safeguard your home and family.
Bricks Repair and Maintenance
Without proper maintenance, chimneys can get damaged over time. Also, it can even shorten its lifespan. Prevent that from happening by working with us. We offer chimney repair and maintenance.
This service also includes the examination and cleaning of both your flue and chimney. Additionally, if you have a chimney appliance, we also offer professional repair and check-up for it. We know that you need your Brickwork Pointing done right the first time. We can handle any size job from big to small at the best service and price your find around.
Chimney Flashing
We only use top quality and corrosion metal for your flashing. Our company also makes sure that the metal used follows all the building codes in your area. Leaks around the chimney are not always evident right away but they can cause serious structural damage. Moisture enters the roofing, the attic, and possibly the ceiling areas causing wood rot, roof damage, attic damage, and drywall damage in the ceilings. It’s a good idea to inspect the chimney area in the attic every six months to a year, to be sure that there are no signs of leakage.
Install/Repair Chimney Crown
The chimney crown is typically constructed from a mortar mix and is located at the top of a masonry chimney. It seals the top of the chimney from the edge to the flue liner. A chimney crown helps prevent erosion by directing water run-off away from the chimney. Unfortunately, weather exposure can cause small cracks or chips in the crown. Luckily, we can reseal or replace the crown, ensuring it’s formed with a cement mixture that can withstand the elements.
Chimney Cap (Stainless Steel)
Chimney caps are arguably the most important protective products out there, and we’re proud to install the very best.
But what exactly is a chimney cap?
A chimney cap is simply a metal covering that’s fitted to the top of the chimney to shield the flue against water, weather, downdrafts, and animals. There are single-flue caps and multi-flue caps, so no matter how big or small your chimney or how many flues you have in a single chimney, there’s a cap for the job .
Stainless Steel
When planning the design of your chimney, we highly recommend a chimney cap. Not only does it protect your chimney from animals, but it also prevents embers from drifting up and out of your chimney. Metal is usually the prime choice to make this. This material is also mainly used for your chimney interior.
For a durable chimney cap and interiors, we only use the best stainless steel. Furthermore, we also offer a fully covered warranty for the stainless steel that we use.
Masonry Chimney (Repair)
This type of chimney is by far the most popular. It is constructed using cement, stone, or bricks. This type of chimney also comes with the aesthetic masonry fireplaces. What’s more, the bricks that we use to build your masonry chimney are all heat absorbent, water-resistant, and sulfate-attack proof as well. Choosing to have a masonry type chimney will give the assurance that you will have something that can last through time.
Sometimes, the bricks are “spalling”, meaning that the face of the brick has separated from the brick itself. The mortar may begin to look sandy or start to crack and crumble. Eventually, some of these pieces can fall off of the chimney structure. If neglected, water will infiltrate the structure causing further damage.
Chimney maintenance is really a job for a professional chimney mason. It is wise to have an experienced professional come and inspect your chimney to identify and make necessary repairs before they become complex and expensive.
Chimney Liner
Chimney liners serve as an extra layer between the inside of the chimney and the framing of your home. This provides another layer of protection as common defects can appear in the chimney. Defects, no matter how small, can begin a process that will further erode the chimney and can pose a threat to your family’s safety through the creation of health risks. Poisonous gases could potentially infiltrate the home.
More importantly, combustible creosote or soot can also escape through these openings and build up outside the chimney flue liner. If the creosote were to catch fire in this area of your chimney, serious damage can occur, because the fire can no longer be contained within the flue. Homes built prior to the 1940’s were typically built without a chimney liner. As a result, chimney and house fires were more common. Today, there are a few reasons why you may need a new liner: If your chimney has no liner, if it was installed improperly, or if it’s deteriorating or defective.
A chimney liner might not seem like an important part of your chimney, but in reality, it’s extremely useful and improves the safety of your fireplace and home. Chimney liners create a clear and direct path for smoke to exit your home safely and efficiently. Without one, your chimney walls will eventually deteriorate and smoke will be able to seep through any cracks.
When you use your fireplace, carbon monoxide gets released and you want to keep that out of your home at all costs. A properly installed chimney liner that’s in good condition will be able to keep it out.
Install Fireplace Dampers
The damper is a door or window inside your fireplace. When you open the damper to have a fire, the smoke goes through this door and out the chimney and not into your home.
We have been installing top sealing dampers for over five years and have observed an influx of inferior quality products on the market. As Chimney Professionals, we install what we believe to be the best top sealing dampers available. Have us come out to your home to see if a top sealing damper is right for your fireplace. Remember, replacing a faulty damper is much less expensive than replacing doors and windows – and faster, too!
Damper Issues & Cooling Bills
A lot of extra money is spent on running air conditioning each summer by homeowners whose chimney dampers are in bad shape. If your damper, which usually is located just above your firebox, doesn’t close with a solid seal, your air conditioning system can easily pull warm air down the chimney, through the gap in the damper and into your home.
The damper is part of a quality chimney inspection. You should have your damper looked at to determine if it’s rusted, corroded or generally no longer working well. You can then either have it repaired or replaced.
Consider having a full-width, top-mount damper installed. This component will solve the conditioned-air problem and also keep your chimney flue more temperate during both hot and cold seasons.
Smelly Chimney
Summer weather, particularly when the humidity is high, can cause chimneys to smell bad. This is usually because of hot moisture mixing with excess creosote and soot that has accumulated in your flue.
If you use a wood-burning fireplace, you can’t avoid making creosote and soot, but you can keep your chimney from sending horrible smells into your home by having it professionally cleaned.
Late spring or summer is the best time to schedule a chimney sweep, because crews aren’t as busy as they are just prior to winter. Additionally, you’ll be able to have your chimney inspected and see to any repairs before you start using your fireplace regularly.
Small Animal Removal
Chimneys that operate without a proper chimney cap often become home to squirrels, birds, racoons, rodents and other critters. Aside from the possibility that one of these animals will make its way down into your home, there are two other serious problems:
Sometimes these animals die inside chimneys, unable to get out. This leads to bad smells and a greater drafting obstruction.
Many small animals build nests, the material of which can obstruct drafting and serve as fuel for a chimney fire.
