Chimney Sweep In Leawood KS
It’s important to schedule chimney cleaning once a year to prevent the buildup of obstructions that will hamper air flow and to remove dangerous, flammable creosote.
Chimneys that don’t have a sturdy chimney cap are open to all manner of debris, animal nests and animals themselves who die after being unable to get out. When the air passage is narrowed in the flue, smoke and carbon monoxide won’t draft properly and can back up into the home.
Our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps will clean all obstructions out of your chimney and remove creosote. This sticky compound is a byproduct of burning wood – think of it as concentrated fuel – and is responsible for most chimney fires in the U.S. each year.
Chimney Inspection
Along with cleaning, all chimneys and fireplaces should be inspected on a regular basis to uncover signs of damage and wear before they become serious and expensive problems.
When our trained technicians inspect a chimney, they look closely at every component and the structure itself. Some initial clues that a problem exists are fairly obvious: efflorescence on the exterior chimney walls, spalling bricks, strong odors coming from the fireplace and others. Certain types of chimney problems, however, can only be spotted by experienced chimney service personnel with the proper training and tools to do the job thoroughly.
Chimney Leak & Repair In Leawood KS
A leaky chimney may not show immediate signs of structural damage, but it will at one point if the leak is ignored. Over time, water in a chimney system will begin to erode mortar joints and eat away at bricks. If you see water on the floor of your firebox or white staining on the outside of your chimney, it’s time to have a professional take a look.
Along with addressing chimney leaks, we perform a variety of chimney repairs for our customers in Leawood, KS, and surrounding areas:
- CrownSeal crown repair

Chimney Masonry Work
When you require chimney masonry work, you should only trust professionals who are expert masons and who are trained specifically in performing this work on chimneys. Damage or wear to the masonry of a chimney needs to be addressed promptly and the right solution implemented to prevent serious structural problems down the line. Our technicians can replace missing sections of masonry (tuckpointing), apply a water-resistant sealant and oversee any other chimney masonry work that might be required.
Chimney Rebuilding
In cases where a chimney is in serious disrepair, chimney rebuilding usually is necessary. Many events can cause a chimney to become compromised including large infiltrations of water, house-settling, extreme winds and the normal aging process. A chimney with crumbling mortar, missing bricks and significant water damage is an unsafe chimney. Our certified technicians are experts in partial rebuilds as well as complete chimney rebuilds.

If you’re looking for a new fireplace, stove or fireplace insert, let us help you select the perfect brand and style to heat and beautify your home. When you’ve got the appliance you want, we’ll professionally install it in a way that is safe and meets all manufacturer specs and local safety codes.
