Chimney services in Niles, from the cap down to the hearth
Chimney work usually starts for one of a few reasons: the chimney needs cleaning before the burning season, the fireplace smells or drafts poorly, or damage is letting water or animals in. A chimney inspection is often the first step when you're not sure what's wrong, because it shows the condition of the flue, liner, crown and flashing before any work is recommended.
When an inspection turns up problems, our chimney repair service covers masonry, crowns, flashing, liners and dampers. If the top of the flue is open to rain, leaves or nesting birds, chimney cap installation closes it off while still letting smoke out.

Fireplace and dryer vent work for Niles homes
Work isn't limited to the chimney. Wood-burning fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves can be cleaned and repaired, and Gas fireplace and gas appliance work is offered. That ranges from routine service to new installations.
Dryer vents are worth checking too. Lint that builds up in a long or bent vent line slows drying and traps heat, so cleaning, airflow testing, blockage removal and rerouting are all available for Niles homes.
Asking about a home in Niles
When you get in touch, it helps to mention what kind of fireplace or stove you have, whether it burns wood or gas, and what you've noticed, such as smoke in the room, a musty smell, water stains near the chimney or a dryer that takes too long. That makes it easier to plan the visit around the actual problem.
