The housing stock in Old Saybrook is the reason most of our calls come in. Older masonry chimneys were built for open fires, and once an insert or a stove goes in, the flue is usually the wrong size for the appliance — which is what causes the poor draw, the smell and the creosote that follows.
We work across Middlesex County most weeks, so a Old Saybrook booking rarely means waiting. Hearth sheeted, vacuum running, boots covered, and the room left exactly as we found it.
Salt air is the condition that separates Old Saybrook from an inland town, and it works on a chimney from the top down. Airborne salt accelerates corrosion on anything metal above the roofline — caps, chase covers, flashing, the top plate of a stainless liner — so a cap that would last decades in Middlesex County's interior can start showing rust much sooner within a few miles of the water. It also holds moisture against the masonry longer than plain rain does, which keeps the brick wetter going into a freeze.
Wind-driven rain is the second one. On an exposed coastal elevation water does not just land on the crown, it is pushed sideways into the joints on the weather face and up under flashing laps that would shed a vertical fall without trouble. That is why so many shoreline leaks show up on one side of the chimney only, and why ABC Chimney Solutions checks the exposed face and the flashing detail before assuming a leak came through the crown.

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.
