Most Middleton homeowners don’t realize how fast creosote—tar-like residue from wood fires—accumulates in their chimney. Within just a few months, this highly flammable buildup can ignite, sending flames roaring into your home. Our certified sweeps use rotary brushes and HEPA vacuums to clear every inch of your flue, from the damper to the crown. We also check for cracks in the liner that could leak deadly carbon monoxide into your living room. Serving Middleton’s older homes with modern precision, we leave your chimney cleaner, safer, and ready for winter’s first fire.

Our Level 2 inspections include a video scan of your flue to spot cracks, blockages, or deteriorating mortar—issues that could lead to chimney fires or CO leaks. We document findings with photos and provide a clear report so you can decide what’s urgent. Unlike fly-by-night services, we don’t upsell unnecessary repairs; we only recommend fixes that meet NFPA 211 standards. Your safety isn’t negotiable.
Request this service →A well-maintained fireplace or wood stove isn’t just cozy—it’s a potential hazard if ignored. Middleton’s damp winters accelerate rust in stove pipes and weaken gaskets, while ash buildup restricts airflow, forcing smoke back into your home. Our servicing includes gasket replacement, airwash system cleaning, and a full operational check to ensure your appliance burns cleanly and efficiently. We also test for backdrafting, a silent killer that pushes carbon monoxide indoors. Don’t wait for a cold snap to discover your stove isn’t safe.
Request this service →Middleton’s freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc on masonry chimneys, causing bricks to crack and mortar to crumble. Left unchecked, these gaps let water seep in, rotting wooden beams and corroding metal liners. Our repairs start with a full assessment—we don’t patch blindly. For rebuilds, we match historic brick patterns or install modern, insulated liners to meet code. All work comes with a 10-year warranty, and we handle permits so you don’t have to. Your chimney’s job is to keep fire where it belongs—inside the hearth.
Request this service →Carbon monoxide kills silently, and Middleton homes with older chimneys or attached garages are especially vulnerable. Our CO testing includes a handheld monitor sweep of your flue, living spaces near the fireplace, and even your garage if you park there. We check for backdrafting, cracked heat exchangers, and improper venting—all common culprits in CO leaks. Results are immediate, and we provide a detailed report with next steps. Don’t gamble with a silent killer; schedule testing with every sweep.
Request this service →Middleton’s squirrels and raccoons see chimneys as prime real estate, while heavy rains erode mortar and wash away insulation. A properly fitted chimney cap solves all three problems in one fell swoop. We install custom stainless steel caps that resist rust and match your home’s aesthetic, whether it’s a historic farmhouse or a modern ranch. Caps also prevent downdrafts that force smoke into your home. It’s a small investment that saves thousands in repairs—and keeps pests out of your flue.
