Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our chimney services and maintenance.

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections and cleanings as needed for Wheaton residents. If you use your fireplace frequently (more than 3 times per week during colder months), you may need cleaning more often.

Common signs in Wheaton homes include: crumbling or missing mortar, white staining (efflorescence), rust on the damper, pieces of tile in the fireplace, water in the firebox, smoke entering your home, or visible cracks in the exterior masonry.

Level 1 is basic visual inspection. Level 2 includes video scanning and is required when selling a home in Wheaton or after chimney fires. Level 3 is the most comprehensive, involving removal of chimney components when serious hazards are suspected.

It depends on the extent of damage. Small cracks can sometimes be repaired with special sealants, but significant damage usually requires complete relining. Our Wheaton technicians will assess and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Most standard cleanings in Wheaton take 45-90 minutes, depending on chimney height, creosote buildup, and accessibility. Complex jobs or those requiring additional repairs may take longer.

Water intrusion in Wheaton typically indicates missing or damaged chimney caps, cracked crown, deteriorated flashing, or porous bricks/mortar. We offer waterproofing solutions and repairs to prevent water damage and costly structural issues.

Yes! Chimney caps prevent animals, debris, and water from entering your chimney in Wheaton. Even unused chimneys can develop problems without proper capping. We recommend quality stainless steel caps with mesh siding for optimal protection.
