We provide the following services:

Chimney Cleaning

An annual chimney inspection and cleaning is highly recommended by both the National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of America.  A chimney cleaning or sweep is conducted to remove any buildup that has accumulated throughout the latest burn season and to prepare the chimney for safe use. Both a chimney inspection and sweep are recommended at least once a year, even if your chimney has not been used. Especially in the months when the chimney is not in use, debris or critters may have created a blockage inside of the chimney, which can create serious problems if it is not cleaned out.

Gas Logs, Stoves & Fireplace Inserts

We are fully qualified to offer you top brands of gas logs, stoves and fireplace inserts. Our crew will install your new efficient heating appliance and the proper venting that is required. Transform your masonry fireplace from a drafty heat loss source to a beautiful heating source with a new fireplace insert.

Chimney Inspection

Our professional chimney service technicians are specially trained to clean and inspect all types of chimneys including wood, oil, and gas burning appliances. During the chimney inspection our sweeps will examine all areas of the chimney, even those hidden deep within the chimney walls. A special video inspection camera is used when necessary to see inside the chimney flue and determine whether it is safe for use.

Chimney Waterproofing

Moisture posses the biggest threat to the structure of your chimney. For this reason, every precaution must be taken to prevent moisture from entering the chimney system. A waterproof sealant can be applied to the exterior of the chimney to keep water out and tuck-pointing and other repairs can be made to the exterior surface of brick chimneys to correct problems and further increase its resistance to water.

Chimney Repair & Chimney Restoration

At Guardian Chimney Sweep, our professional service technicians are highly trained in all chimney repairs and restoration techniques. Our professional sweeps can repair cracked chimney crowns, replace deteriorating liners, rebuild masonry work, or complete any other necessary chimney repairs. No job is too big or small for our team of professional chimney service technicians.

Fireplace Rebuilding

At times a job goes beyond that of a repair and needs a rebuild instead. For these instances, our chimney professionals correct any structural flaws by reinforcing the back walls of the fireplace and restoring the original condition of the fireplace. After a rebuilding job is complete, your chimney will look and operate as it did when it was built.

Chimney Crown Rebuilding

Over the years chimney crowns crack and deteriorate allowing moisture to enter the chimney system. If our chimney sweeps come across a crown in need of repair, we can rebuild the crown and properly construct a crown that completely seals off the chimney’s interior to outside moisture.

Chimney Cap Installation

The chimney cap is one of the simplest fixes (and least expensive) that have the greatest impact on the operation of your chimney system. A chimney cap keeps leaves, animals, and harsh weather conditions from entering your chimney and causing costly problems. We offer chimney caps with a lifetime warranty and we will take the time to select the perfect chimney cap for your chimney and home structure needs.

Chimney Chase Top Replacement

Your chimney chase top may need replacing if it develops rust or leaks and bends. If your chimney has a masonry chase top on a prefabricated chimney, this may need replacing as well. Keep your chimney clean and dry with a new replacement chimney chase cover.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vent cleaning removes the excess lint the clogs up the vents. When your dryer vents are clogged, the dryer will take longer to fully try your clothes and it will put you at risk of starting a dryer vent fire. Your dryer vents should be cleaned out every 1 to 2 years. This will ensure that your system is running at its optimal performance and it will lesson the risk of a fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Blown-In Insulation

The blown-in insulation products we install are Energy Star Rated. The insulation is an excellent investment with a life span of 30-plus years. Homeowners find that adding needed insulation pays for itself over a course of years.

Roof Cleaning

If your roof develops black streaks or any other unsightly coloring, a thorough roof cleaning will help eliminate these problems and prevent further discoloration and damage from occurring. Dark streaks on your cedar shingle or barrel tile roof may be an indicator of a larger problem. The discoloration is often from microorganisms living on your roof and eating away at the shingles. This can result in major costly repairs if the organisms are not removed. To ensure the longevity of your roof, take care to preserve the appearance and clean any unsightly coloration – it may be more than a surface blemish.
