Chimney sweep and repair in Cleveland Heights, OH
Also covering Coventry, Cedar Fairmount, University Heights.
What we see on Cleveland Heights chimneys
Cleveland Heights has some of the oldest and most substantial masonry in the county — large early-twentieth-century homes, often with multiple fireplaces and slate roofs. Slate is exactly the roof you don't want to walk on, which is why a lot of our inspections here get flown by drone instead.
What we get called out for most in Cleveland Heights
Slate roofs and tall early-century stacks make Cleveland Heights the neighborhood where we fly the chimney rather than climb it most often. Slate breaks under foot, and there's no reason to risk a roof to photograph a crown.
Drone Chimney InspectionWhy 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.
