Check out this awesome Modern Flames Redstone electric fireplace we installed in Tremont! This customer had a zero-clearance prefabricated fireplace that the chimney had ripped off of. She didn’t want to replace it with a wood or gas fireplace, so she went with one of our electrics. This fireplace changes colors, produces heat, and even has a timer so you don’t have to worry about shutting it off! These units are nice! Interested in one? Give us a call!

More storm damage inspections today in Morton, IL. This customer's chase cover had come unscrewed in the recent storms, leaving their chimney chase fully exposed. We were able to get up there and got it set back in place and reconnected for the time being. Measurements were taken for a new stainless steel chase cover, and a recommendation for a level three inspections to ensure no further damage is done lower in the chase. We have been dealing with a ton of lifted chase covers, missing chimney caps, and even leaning chimney pipes. Take a second and look up at your chimney. Does anything look off? If so, give us a call!

One of the most vital pieces of equipment we use is our flue camera. We use this to scan chimney flues after we have cleaned them to ensure there are no cracks or gaps in the chimney flue tiles. These cracks and gaps can allow heat and gases to escape into the house or, in the event of a chimney fire, they can allow them to enter the structure. Don’t wait! Call today for a cleaning and camera scan of your chimney!
