Chimney Cleaning/Inspection:
Our CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps use state-of-the-art equipment to inspect and clean chimney’s of all kinds, including wood, oil, pellet, gas, and coal burning chimneys. While sweeping your system and removing dangerous, flammable creosote from the inside of your chimney, we ensure that it is in working order. We look for any problems that could prevent optimal performance and recommend what is needed for your system to burn cleanly and safely. When necessary we use video inspection camera equipment to examine hidden parts of the flue. Our inspection is not just of your chimney flue, we also thoroughly inspect your crown condition, brickwork, mortar joints and flashing, smoke chamber and shelf, damper, firebox and hearth. Our technicians are very clean and thorough to protect the valuables in your home, that is why we have a “NO MESS CLEAN-UP POLICY!"

Chimney Repair:
Rebuild Crowns:
A chimney crown is a masonry layer that covers the top of your chimney. It prevents water from seeping into the masonry below. Water-damaged or cracked chimney crowns can lead to costly chimney repairs. If your crown is cracked or poorly constructed –allowing water penetration or posing a fire hazard – we’ll build a technologically advanced crown that’s guaranteed not to crack. Advanced Chimney Solutions uses ChimneySaver; these products provide an extremely long lasting crown. We have a 15 year warranty on all crown work performed by Advanced Chimney Solutions, that’s 5 years longer than the standard manufacturer warranty offered by our competitors.

Chimney Caps
Does your home have an uncapped chimney? If your answer is yes, you need a chimney cap/top. WHY? Your chimney has a hole in your roof!
An uncapped chimney:
- Says “come on in, make yourself at home!” to nesting birds and animals
- Allows rain, snow and other debris to enter your chimney, which leads to moisture damage and expensive repairs.
- Creates a fire hazard as burning embers and sparks escape through the open chimney and can land on your roof or in your yard.
Advanced Chimney Solutions offers lifetime warranty on all chimney caps-available in stainless steel or copper.

Chase Tops:
Leaky or damaged chase tops and those made of masonry, are potential hazards on prefabricated metal fireplaces. We help eliminate problems before they start by replacing masonry and rusty metal chase tops, with a brand new custom chase cover to fit your chimney.
Chimney Relining:
We can help prevent deadly carbon monoxide from penetrating through your unlined or deteriorating Chimney.
Before we explain what a chimney relining system is, let's learn what a chimney lining system is. Most masonry chimneys are constructed with an inner liner of clay tiles. The purpose of this liner is to keep the heat of flue gases inside the chimney so the chimney can't overheat the nearby combustible material, such as the framing and walls of your house, and possibly cause a fire. The liner also keeps carbon monoxide, moisture, smoke, creosote, and other products of combustion from seeping through the bricks and mortar of your chimney and leaking into your home. As you can see, a secure lining system is crucial to the safety and well being of your home and family.
This brings us to a chimney relining system. What is it? Simple. It's what you need when the original clay tile liner was either never installed, or when the tile lining cracks, crumbles and deteriorates over time. Water damage, chimney fires, or just age can cause the deterioration of your clay liner. When that happens the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) code 211 says it must be replaced. The most popular, effective and economical way to reline your chimney is with UL listed, HomeSaver stainless steel relining pipe. HomeSaver has been used for over 20 years in chimneys throughout North America and is the industry leader.

Waterproofing/Repair and Restoration:
We offer the full range of repairs to chimney systems, big and small-from repairing leaky flashing to tuckpointing, masonry repair and chimney rebuilding. If water is damaging your fireplace inside and out, we’ll find it and fix it.
Animal Removal:
If squirrels, raccoons, birds or other pests have made a home in your chimney or dryer vent duct, we’ll eliminate the problem, removing the animals and their nesting materials and prevent future infestation.
Dryer Vent Cleaning/Inspection:
In addition to servicing chimneys, we inspect and clean dryer vents. A thorough sweep by one of our dryer exhaust technicians includes searching for any issues that might interfere with optimal operation. Highly effective diagnostic tools allow us to detect and solve issues before they become problems.
