Chimney & Fireplace Services in Hancock, MD

Fireplaces take a beating due to being exposed to so much heat every time they are used. Over time, this heating and cooling may cause cracks, loose or crumbling mortar, a broken or stuck damper, and damage inside your firebox. Gas fireplaces have issues of their own like problems with ignition, burners not working or sensors that fail. We can repair and rebuild any fireplace, whether gas, wood, or biofuel, and regardless of the size. If your firebox is cracked, we can fix or replace it. If your damper won’t budge, we’ll install one that does. We will rebuild it with heat-resistant materials, if not in sound health, but falling apart. If your gas fireplace is having trouble staying lit, we investigate the source of the problem and make the necessary repairs so it can run safely once again.

Hancock’s weather is tough on chimneys. Due to the extreme weather variation bricks and mortar are continuously exposed to both cold and heat causing them to contract and expand. Cracks to the crown and damage of the flue liner occur after a time. Until serious problems arise, a chimney isn’t something most homeowners ever give much thought to. That’s why regular inspections matter.

While doing the chimney inspection in Hancock, MD, we will check everything which includes cracks in the outside brickwork, condition of the crown, and inside the flue, with a camera that shows what you don’t normally see. We also examine the firebox, smoke chamber and damper to ensure all components are functioning correctly. Once inspection is done, you will receive clear images and honest opinion on what requires immediate attention and what can just be monitored later.

If you’re thinking about adding a fireplace to your home, we can take care of the entire process from start to finish.
