Chimney sweep and repair in Parma, OH
Also covering Parma Heights, Seven Hills, Brooklyn.
What we see on Parma chimneys
Parma is mostly post-war housing — bungalows and ranches from the building boom, many with a single masonry chimney serving the furnace and water heater rather than a fireplace. Those flues are often oversized for the appliances now attached to them, which causes condensation and eats at the liner from the inside.
What we get called out for most in Parma
Parma's post-war ranches usually have one masonry flue serving a modern furnace and water heater that are far smaller than the flue was built for. Oversized flues let exhaust cool and condense, and that acidic condensate eats the liner from the inside.
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.
