Looking closely at chimneys in Coytown
Here is how our local team works through a chimney inspection at your Coytown home.
How far the flue tile stands above the crown
Brick Industry Association guidance for masonry chimneys shows the flue liner rising at least two inches above the top of the crown. A tile that sits flush with the crown, or below it, gives rain crossing the top an easy route into the flue. We measure that projection on the chimney in Coytown, note any chipped rim and explain whether a cap, crown work or no change at all makes sense. Tile height also matters when a cap is fitted, since many caps clamp to the tile and need enough of it standing clear to hold.
A second look at another company's quote
If another contractor has quoted a large repair, such as a rebuild or a new liner, a second inspection is a reasonable step. Share the quote and the reason it gave. We inspect the chimney at your Coytown home independently, explain whether we see the same problem and give our own written estimate. Sometimes we agree, sometimes a smaller repair covers it, and either way you get a clear explanation. We never assume the other company is wrong, and any difference in our view is explained in plain terms.
Embers escaping past the fireplace screen
Burn marks on the hearth, scorched rugs or tiny holes in a nearby floor covering show that embers have been getting past the fireplace screen. We check the screen or doors for gaps and the hearth extension for size and condition. At your Coytown home we then explain whether a tighter screen, hearth repair or a change in how the fireplace is used would best stop it happening again. Rugs should also sit clear of the hearth extension, an easy change you can make today.

If your question is not here, our Coytown team is a phone call away.
What happens if you find a problem?
We explain it on site and put the repair in a written estimate with upfront pricing. Nothing is started without your approval, and the estimate says what each item fixes.
Do you inspect sealed gas fireplaces?
We inspect the vent cap, the visible pipe and the roof or wall around it, and we check for nests or damage. Servicing the appliance itself is a separate job with its own estimate.
