Chimney sweep and repair in Cleveland, OH
Also covering Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit Shoreway, Cuyahoga County.
What we see on Cleveland chimneys
Much of Cleveland's housing stock predates the Second World War, and in neighborhoods like Ohio City and Tremont you find original brick chimneys serving fireplaces that were later joined by a furnace flue. Those double-duty stacks are where we most often find cracked clay tile, and lake-effect weather off Erie is hard on the mortar at the top.
What we get called out for most in Cleveland
Cleveland's double-duty stacks — one flue doing fireplace duty, another taking the furnace — are the ones we most often end up relining. When we camera an original clay-tile flue in Ohio City or Tremont, cracking is the rule rather than the exception.
Chimney Liner Installation & ReliningWhy Ohio chimneys fail
Ohio's freeze-thaw cycle is what destroys chimneys here: water soaks into brick and mortar in the fall, freezes, expands, and breaks the masonry apart from the inside. Add a long heating season and you get creosote buildup on top of structural damage. More on Ohio.

What the work looks like
Our own photographs, from real jobs. Before and after where we have both ends of it.
Cracked crown, and the same crown after
The crown surface is unbroken again, sloped away from the tile and carried out over the brick.
New chase cover and cap
New cover fitted over the chase and the flue capped — the rust it replaced is still showing underneath.
Stainless liner run down the chase
The chase opened at the roof and a single length of stainless flex liner fed down it.
