Creosote isn’t just unsightly—it’s a hidden fire risk that builds up with every burn. In Auburn’s older homes, where wood-burning fireplaces are common, this tar-like residue can coat flues in as little as a season. Our process uses specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to clear every layer, not just the surface. We focus on thoroughness over speed, ensuring no spot is missed. Afterward, you’ll get a clear report with photos and actionable recommendations, so you know exactly what’s happening inside your chimney. No upsells—just honest assessments and free estimates if repairs are needed.

Our Level 2 inspections use cameras to inspect every inch, including hard-to-reach areas like smoke chambers and crowns. We check for water damage, loose bricks, and deteriorating mortar—common in homes built before modern building codes. This isn’t a quick glance; it’s a detailed audit that catches problems early, when they’re cheaper to fix. You’ll receive a written report with images, so you can see exactly what we found and why it matters.
Request this service →Water is the silent killer of chimneys in Auburn, seeping into cracks and freezing to split bricks apart. We repair spalling, rebuild crumbling crowns, and repoint mortar joints to stop leaks before they cause rot in your walls or attic. Our team uses high-temperature mortars and sealants designed for New England’s climate. Whether your chimney leans slightly or has missing bricks, we stabilize it before minor damage becomes a structural nightmare. All work comes with a warranty you can trust.
Request this service →A damper that won’t open or a flue lined with rust can turn your fireplace into a smoke chamber—or worse, a carbon monoxide hazard. We service and replace dampers to ensure they seal tightly when closed and open fully when in use. Rusty flues get patched or relined to restore proper draft, while undersized liners get upgraded to meet modern safety standards. This isn’t just about comfort; it’s about preventing dangerous backdrafts that can fill your home with smoke or deadly gases.
Request this service →A missing chimney cap in Auburn is an open invitation for squirrels, raccoons, or even snow to clog your flue. We install heavy-duty stainless steel caps with mesh screens to block pests, leaves, and rain while allowing smoke to escape freely. Chase covers for prefabricated chimneys get sealed to prevent water from pooling on top, which can rot the chase over time. These small upgrades add years to your chimney’s life and cost a fraction of major repairs. We offer same-day installations for urgent needs.
Request this service →If your chimney starts smoking excessively, you smell gas, or you’ve had a chimney fire, every minute counts.
