With twenty years in business, we know the best product to remedy any problem in your chimney. They're in stock and ready to install or apply.

A good chimney cap will prevent thousands of dollars in damage by preventing animals, debris and water from entering the chimney flue. And it will make your chimney more efficient by preventing wind from blowing directly down the flue. We sell top quality stainless steel and copper caps with lifetime warranties, build masonry caps, and install custom copper caps.

Masonry is a porous material. It can absorb large quantities of water. But typical masonry sealing liquids are not a good choice for waterproofing chimneys. They don't let the chimney breath — the condensation of liquids associated with combustion needs to escape. ChimneySaver acts like a one-way door for water, letting the chimney breath while keeping rain out. It prevents bricks from spalling and calcium deposits from leaching through masonry. ChimneySaver has a 10 year warranty, though it's most effective when applied every five years or so.

To increase fireplace effeciency or just replace a broken damper, we have a great solution: a top sealing damper. A top sealing damper keeps the flue warm and seals tight to stop unwanted air flow when the chimney is not in use. A damper handle at the fireplace opening is attached to a cable that runs to the top of the flue. It comes with a lifetime waranty.

A lot of damage can start at the top of a chimney. The cracked or damaged chimney top can let water flow down the interior of a chimney, leading to leaks, spalling bricks, cracked cement, and many other forms of water damage. Crown seal is a great solution for a damaged or leaky mortarwash. This product forms a flexible coating on the top of a chimney preventing water from soaking in. Crown seal is great for increasing chimney life, and carries a 10 year warranty.

When a fire is built with wet or soft wood, or doesn't burn hot enough, a special type of creosote called glaze can form in the flue. Glaze occurs in a chimney when the smoke entering the flue cools before exiting the chimney. This flammable glaze is very difficult to remove and cause major damage to a chimney. Cre-Away turns glaze into a lighter form of creosote that can be easily removed.

Our lining materials are the strongest available, made of heavy-guage top grade alloy stainless steel, with a lifetime warranty. Less expensive alternatives can easily tear or crush, making a dangerous flue lining. Poured liners can be thin in the corners of the flue space, making them very difficult to clean without compromising the integrity of the liner. And unlike poured or "bladder" liners, stainless steel will not deteriorate or chip away. (We can, and often will, do a poured lining around heavy gauge stainless steel liners for double strength.)
