Why Chimneys in Rochester Hills Wear Down Over Time
Between heavy snowfall, spring moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles, brick and mortar expand and contract more than most homeowners realize. Over time, that stress can lead to:
Small cracks that gradually widen
Crown separation at the top of the chimney
Flashing gaps where the chimney meets the roof
Draft inconsistencies during colder months
WHAT WE HANDLE
A Closer Look at Your Chimney System
We don’t rely on surface-level inspections. Our team evaluates the full chimney system—from masonry and crown to liner and draft performance—using camera technology when needed.
You’ll receive a clear breakdown of findings and straightforward recommendations.
Clean Work That Protects Your Home
Soot containment matters. We use HEPA filtration systems to prevent dust and debris from spreading inside your living space during service.
The result is improved airflow, safer operation, and a cleaner finish.
Repairs Designed to Withstand Michigan Winters
Quick patchwork doesn’t survive Michigan weather. We focus on structural reinforcement—rebuilding crowns, restoring mortar joints, sealing vulnerable areas, and installing properly fitted chimney caps when needed.
The goal is stability and long-term performance.
Installation & Structural Modifications
From fireplace upgrades to full chimney removals, every project is completed carefully and in accordance with local building standards.

FAQ
Common Questions From Rochester Hills Homeowners
Do you only work in Rochester Hills?
No. While we provide chimney services in Rochester Hills, we also serve homeowners in nearby communities including Troy, Novi, Northville, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, Ann Arbor, and throughout southeast Michigan.
If you're located in or around these areas and need chimney inspection, repair, or cleaning, our team is ready to help.
How often should a chimney be serviced?
An annual chimney inspection is recommended, especially before heavy winter use. Cleaning frequency depends on usage and buildup levels.
A professional chimney inspection can determine whether cleaning is necessary and identify any underlying structural concerns. If buildup is present, scheduling a thorough chimney cleaning helps restore proper airflow and reduce fire hazards.
What usually causes chimney leaks?
himney leaks are most commonly caused by cracked crowns, deteriorating mortar joints, damaged flashing, or missing chimney caps. Over time, exposure to rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles allows water to enter small openings in the masonry.
In many cases, timely chimney repair or proper chimney cap installation can prevent ongoing moisture intrusion and protect the structural integrity of the chimney system.
Are permits required for chimney work?
Some structural rebuilds or fireplace installations may require permits depending on the scope of work.
Should I schedule a chimney inspection before purchasing a home?
Yes, it’s strongly recommended. A professional chimney inspection before closing can uncover hidden structural damage, moisture intrusion, liner issues, or ventilation problems that may not be visible during a general home inspection.
Identifying these concerns early helps you understand potential repair costs, negotiate if necessary, and avoid unexpected expenses after moving in.
