Questions we get a lot
Smoke comes into the room when I light a fire. What causes that?
Usually a draft problem rather than a dirty flue: a cold chimney on the first burn, a house sealed tight enough to starve the fire of air, an undersized flue, or a partial blockage. We diagnose which one before selling you a sweep that will not fix it.
What is the 3-2-10 rule for chimneys?
A chimney has to extend at least 3 feet above the roof where it exits, and at least 2 feet higher than anything within 10 feet of it. Chimneys that fail it draft poorly and spill smoke. It is one of the first things we measure on a draft complaint.
Do you cover Butler Township and the neighborhoods near the airport?
Yes, all of Vandalia and Butler Township. Most of our work up here is annual sweeps, crown and cap replacement, and the occasional reline on a post-war masonry flue.
My damper is rusted shut. Can that be fixed?
Usually. The throat dampers in post-war fireplaces seize from decades of moisture, and most free up or take a replacement plate without touching the masonry. If the frame itself has rusted through, a top-sealing damper at the flue is the better answer and it seals far tighter than the original ever did.
