Exposure is the thing that catches people out in East Hartford. A chimney is the only masonry on the house with weather hitting it from five sides, so it degrades faster than the walls below it and gets looked at far less often.
Pricing is quoted in writing before work starts and does not move once we are on site. If we open something up and find more than we expected, the job stops and you decide — we do not add to an invoice after the fact.
The Connecticut River corridor has some of the oldest continuously occupied housing in the state, and East Hartford is no exception: chimneys built for open fires, relined at some point in the second half of the last century, and converted again when the heating system changed. Each of those changes left a joint, and the joints are where most of what we find actually sits — between an original clay flue and a later liner, or where an old thimble was closed up when a furnace moved.
Ground moisture and freeze-thaw finish the job. Masonry in the valley tends to stay damp longer than masonry on higher ground, and Connecticut cycles through freezing repeatedly rather than freezing once for the season. Water that got into a crown crack in November is expanded and released dozens of times before spring, which is why a crack that looked cosmetic in the fall can be a spalled corner by March.

Eight of the several thousand chimneys we have swept, lined and rebuilt across Connecticut.

The inspection found a cracked clay liner two other companies had missed. Relined in stainless the following week and the smoke coming back into the room stopped dead.

Open fire had not been swept in six years. They pulled out a shocking amount of creosote, sheeted the whole hearth, and left the room spotless.

Damp was coming through the chimney breast for two winters. They traced it to a failed crown, recast it and waterproofed the brickwork — bone dry since.

Flashing had lifted and the damper had seized shut. Both repaired in one visit, and they showed me the before and after photos on the roof.

Full stack rebuild above the roofline on a 1920s house. They matched the original brick and mortar so closely the neighbors asked who did our repointing.

Booked the sweep on Monday, done Tuesday. The photographs and written flue report are more thorough than the survey we paid for when we bought the place.

Our wood stove never drew properly. They worked out the flue was oversized for the appliance, fitted an insulated liner, and it lights first time now.

Needed the chimney looked at fast for a house sale. On the roof the next morning, and I had a clear answer and a price the same afternoon.
