Creosote is the sticky, tar-like residue that coats your chimney flue after wood burns. In Westerly’s damp coastal air, it builds up faster than inland homes, increasing fire risk and blocking airflow. Our certified sweeps use brushes and vacuums sized for your flue, clearing every inch without leaving a speck behind. We check for cracks, gaps, or animal nests—common in older Westerly homes near Weekapaug or Misquamicut. You’ll get a clean certificate for insurance, plus photos of your flue’s condition. No harsh chemicals, just elbow grease and precision.
Request this service →Most homeowners assume their chimney is fine if smoke flows freely, but hidden cracks or deteriorating mortar can’t be seen from the living room. We perform a Level 2 inspection—required for real estate transactions in Westerly—using a camera to peer inside your flue. We’ll flag issues like loose bricks near the crown (common in homes near Watch Hill’s salt spray) or a cracked flue liner that could leak carbon monoxide. You’ll receive a detailed report with repair recommendations, not a sales pitch.
Request this service →Westerly’s freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc on chimneys, especially on older brickwork near downtown’s historic homes. We repair spalling bricks, repoint mortar joints, and replace damaged flue liners using materials rated for coastal climates. All work comes with a 1-year warranty, and we’ll match local codes for permits. Whether it’s a small crack or a full rebuild, we’ll explain the fix in terms you’ll understand—no contractor-speak.
Request this service →A chimney cap isn’t just a cover—it’s your first line of defense against Westerly’s wind-driven rain, nesting birds, and falling branches. We install custom caps that block debris while allowing smoke to escape, preventing costly water damage to your flue liner. Caps also keep squirrels and raccoons out of your chimney (they love nesting in Misquamicut’s older homes). Choose from mesh or solid-top styles, both backed by a 5-year warranty.
Request this service →Your fireplace or wood stove works hard in Westerly’s chilly winters, but soot buildup and air leaks can turn it into a hazard. We clean fireboxes, adjust dampers for better airflow, and inspect gaskets to prevent smoke leaks. We’ll also show you how to bank a fire for overnight warmth—something locals near Weekapaug swear by. Regular maintenance ensures your stove runs efficiently, saving you money on firewood.
Request this service →Water is a chimney’s silent enemy, especially in Westerly’s humid summers and icy winters. We apply a breathable, vapor-permeable sealant that repels rain but lets moisture escape, preventing bricks from crumbling and mortar from eroding. This is a must for homes near the Pawcatuck River or older downtown buildings. We’ll treat your entire chimney in under 2 hours, with no strong odors or messy cleanup.
