Genuine Chimney & Fireplace Service for Sharpsburg Residents
Sharpsburg’s mix of old and new construction means chimney issues can be wildly different from one house to the next. Older brickwork usually has water damage or masonry decay. Newer homes often suffer from poor builder installation. But the solution stays pretty consistent: skilled work, quality materials, and paying attention to the details.
Chimney Sweep in Sharpsburg, MD
If you have searched for “chimney sweep near me” or “chimney cleaning near me,” look no further. Creosote is a thick sticky substance generated when wood is burned and it can be highly combustible. Such build-up of the creosote inside the chimney flue can cause chimney fires. If you let it sit for too long, it becomes fuel that can flare up easily. Moreover, chimney fires are extremely loud, dangerous, and fast. In Sharpsburg, MD, our chimney sweeping service can handle your chimney needs. We clear blockage inside your duct at Pacific Chimney from creosote, soot, bird nest, for smooth operation of your duct. We don’t merely use a flashlight to clean the chimney, we do a whole lot more than that to make sure your chimney is safe to use.
Fireplace Repair in Sharpsburg, MD
Fireplaces go through a lot of wear and tear. Metal parts can become warped, and mortar can be weakened while cracks may appear in bricks due to excessive heating. If not fixed, these small problems could lead to a safety issue of huge magnitude. We can fix anything from cracked fireboxes and crumbly mortar to broken dampers and damaged smoke chambers. Gas fireplace issues we troubleshoot include ignition failures, burner problems, and thermocouple faults. For any repair or rebuild, we use a good, heat-resistant product that dwells for long and not a cheap patch that rips off after a season.
Fireplace & Chimney Repair Sharpsburg, MD
Sometimes, the problem with your fireplace is hard to see. Your fire may be putting smoke back into your house. Alternatively, the fire may be going out. Finally, your draft may just feel “off.” When that happens, we don’t make a guess, we look at the whole system to find the real cause. We ensure to check the chimney height, the draft is working correctly, nothing is blocking the flue, the damper is functioning just fine, and we check the masonry and firebox to check if anything is damaged or loose. Once we know what the problem is, we can go about fixing it. It could be a one-off problem or could be a combination of a few issues working together.
Chimney Inspection in Sharpsburg, MD
Sharpsburg weather can be tough on chimneys. They are worn out slowly from the inside out, thanks to the hot summers, freezing winters and constant moisture. This might be why our chimney inspection in Sharpsburg, MD is so thorough. We examine the external brickwork on the chimney, check the crown and flashing, and run a camera through the flue to see what’s going on inside the chimney. Then, we inspect the firebox, smoke chamber, and damper. If we feel that there has been an incursion of water, we also take moisture readings. The inspection will result in clear photos, simplified explanations, and honest answers on what requires immediate repair and what can wait.
Chimney Caps & Crowns
The chimney cap and crown are what protect your chimney from water damage. When they crack or break, water begins to seep in and everything below them can start to fall apart. That’s why we repair cracked crowns, rebuild ones that are too far gone, and install strong stainless steel caps that keep out rain, animals, and cold air pushing back down into your home. A good cap and crown can add years to the life of your chimney and save you from expensive repairs down the road.
