KANSAS CITY CHIMNEY & DRYER VENT SERVICE

Chimney Cleaning:

While in your home cleaning the chimney, or doing repairs, we take the utmost care. We treat your house like it was ours by keeping it clean. We use a large tarp and special vacuums, we are prepared for any situation. We have the tools to clean the dirtiest chimneys, and with our exclusive
"No Mess Guarantee," you are assured of a clean home.

Repairs:

No job is too small. We can do needed repairs, such as re-pointing the fire box mortar joints, completely rebuilding the fire box, (see picture to left) or rebuilding large sections of chimney having severe water damage. If you notice gaps, cracks, loose brick or other damage to your fireplace or chimney, call Chimney Solutions for a professional estimate! Standard size firebox back wall remove and replace bricks that are damaged, generally cost $450.00 to $500.00. We use new firebricks as needed  and mortar with fireclay for added durability.

Waterproofing:

Have you ever noticed white powdery material on the outside of your chimney? This is caused by water penetrating the brick. The white powder is lime and salts in the mortar being pushed out by pressure and water vapor evaporation out of the chimney. We have found the best products to help prevent this problem.

Chimney Saver® is a water repellent treatment. This material is far superior to similar items you find at Lowes or HomeDepot. Most products you buy in the local homestore's are sealers, (ie. Thompson Water Sealer) this is not what you want to put on brick chimneys. Water vapor must be able to pass through the brick for the structure to dry.

Some treatments can actually cause more damage to your chimney, however Chimney Saver® is specifically suited for masonry chimneys. It creates a bond to the brick and helps prevent water from entering the pores of the brick by creating an invisible shield of the surface while allowing water vapor to escape through the bricks pores. We have been very happy with results from using this fine product.  

Crown Repairs:

Water can also enter your chimney through cracks in the crown mortar. We can repair the cracks using Crown Seal® a material designed especially for mortar crowns. It covers the crown sealing cracks and remains flexible when dry to allow for expansion and contraction of the chimney.

This product come with a 10 year warranty which is backed by the manufacture SaverSystems. We have used both products for over 5 years and highly recommend them to our customers. For pricing information please call and schedule to have your chimney looked at soon. We do charge a $45.00 inspection fee which is deducted from cost when the work is complete.

LockTop Damper:

Installs on top of your chimney flue to prevent cold air from coming down the chimney. LockTop Dampers keep your fireplace warm, dry and secure and a low-cost solution to replacing rusted, worn-out throat dampers.

Power Washing:

We can  power-wash your chimney to remove most of the dark stains and mildew growth that accumulates on unprotected masonry and brick. This cleaning helps open the pores of the brick allowing the water repellent treatment to be more effective when used. We can power wash the driveway and other items

We sell and install top quality stainless steel and copper chimney caps to keep out birds, squirrels, water, and debris. Our chimney caps have a lifetime guarantee against breakage and they WON'T rust. We can also have a cap made especially for your chimney.

Relining Your Chimney

If you have a chimney fire the first thing to do is call 911. After the Fire Dept. leaves, call Chimney Solutions to have your chimney evaluated before using again. A chimney fire can cause damage inside the structure make it UNSAFE to use.

If we find damaged tile there are several options depending on the fireplace type and usage. If you are using a wood-stove insert in a masonry chimney we can install a stainless steel liner down the flue connecting to the top of your wood-stove using a special cast iron boot. This is the least expensive way to make your chimney safe and usable.
If you are using a regular open masonry fireplace we can also make them usable. Pre-fab chimney systems require a different method of repair, but rest assured we will give you our professional advise and only do what is best for the customer.

Our certified chimney sweeps will be happy to assist you in safety inspections, chimney repair, chimney reline questions or any fireplace, dryer venting needs.
