Union’s humid summers and cold winters create the perfect storm for creosote buildup in chimneys. If your chimney hasn’t been swept in over a year, you’re likely dealing with a sticky, flammable tar that can block airflow and even cause a chimney fire. Our standard sweep uses rotating brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove all three stages of creosote, no scraping, no guesswork. We’ll inspect your flue lining for cracks or corrosion while we’re there, so you don’t miss hidden problems. Pricing starts at $120 for a basic sweep, with no surprise fees for extra steps. If we find something serious, like a damaged liner, we’ll explain your options upfront, no pressure to buy repairs you don’t need.
Request this service →Wood-burning fireplaces in Union homes take a beating, especially if you’re using them through our damp springs or long winters. The kind of creosote that builds up from wood fires is thicker and more dangerous than what comes from gas or oil. Our deep clean includes chemical treatments to break down stubborn tar, followed by a second pass with specialized brushes. We also check for soot in the smoke chamber and damper area, which many sweeps miss. This service runs $180-$250 depending on chimney height and obstruction, but it’s the only way to truly protect your home. We’ve seen chimneys in Union with creosote so thick it looked like black ice, ignoring it isn’t just risky, it’s expensive in the long run.
Request this service →Union’s old brick homes and newer developments both hide chimney problems that aren’t obvious until it’s too late. A cracked flue liner, corroded damper, or even a small gap in the mortar can let deadly gases into your home. Our Level 2 inspection includes a video scan of your chimney interior, so you see exactly what’s wrong, no vague estimates. If we find a damaged liner, we’ll quote repairs on the spot, but we won’t push you into work you don’t need. For example, a minor crack might just need sealing, while a collapsed section requires a full relining. Pricing varies, but we’ll never lowball you or overcharge for parts. We’ve fixed chimneys in Union after storms knocked down flue tiles, and we’ve saved homeowners thousands by catching issues early.

A clogged dryer vent doesn’t just make your clothes take forever to dry, it forces your dryer to work harder, cutting its lifespan in half. Our vent cleaning includes a full inspection for pinched ducts, sharp bends, or missing transition boots (a common problem in Union’s post-1980 homes). We use a motorized brush system to clear lint from the vent pipe and the dryer exhaust, so you’re not just moving the problem. Pricing starts at $95 for a basic clean, but if we find a vent that’s completely blocked or damaged, we’ll explain why a repair might be worth it. Many Union homeowners don’t realize their dryer vent needs cleaning until they smell burning or their dryer overheats, don’t wait for that.

If your chimney has cracks, your gas fireplace isn’t venting right, or your dryer vent is clogged, CO could be seeping into your Union home while you sleep. We use a handheld monitor to test for leaks during every inspection, and we’ll show you how to use a home CO detector properly. This isn’t just for old houses, even newer homes with high-efficiency fireplaces can develop issues if the venting is installed wrong. The test costs $50 extra, but it’s the only way to know for sure if your family is at risk. We’ve found leaks in Union homes where the homeowner thought their chimney was fine, until we ran the test. It’s a small step that could save your life.
Request this service →Union’s spring thunderstorms and winter ice can knock loose bricks, crack flue liners, or even dislodge chimney caps. If you’ve had high winds or a chimney fire, you must have it inspected before lighting another fire. We’ll check for displaced mortar, damaged crowns, and signs of water intrusion that could lead to rust or rot. Many insurance companies require a professional assessment after storm damage, and we’ll provide a detailed report for your claim. Pricing depends on the damage, but we’ll never upsell you on repairs you don’t need. For example, a loose cap might just need re-sealing, while a shifted chimney could require structural work. We’ve seen Union chimneys shifted by storms, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong, and what you can safely ignore.
