What’s Wrong With My Chimney?

The chimney system is a complex compilation of hard-working parts, and the CSIA-certified technicians at Blue Ridge Chimney Services are trained to understand the inner workings of these parts and the physics behind their proper function. When it comes to chimney troubleshooting, rest assured – we know our stuff!

Why is my chimney leaking?

Chimney leaks are a huge headache, and they can be coming from a variety of places within your system = from the chimney crown to the flashing. Our technicians know where to look and how to make the appropriate repairs.

Why is my fireplace smoking?

You’d be surprised how many different things can cause smoke to come into your home instead of flowing out of your chimney. Some smoke problems have simple fixes (like a clogged chimney cap), but some require much more involved repairs. Our technicians are trained to understand the various issues that could be contributing to smoky chimneys – and fix them without suggesting unnecessary work.

Why does my chimney smell?

A warm wood fire smells wonderful, but when your chimney offers an unpleasant aroma, it’s hard to be around it. Some common contributors to chimney odors are animals, water, and combustible creosote build-up. Blue Ridge Chimney Services knows how to find the source of unpleasant odors and how to clear them up for good.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and Joseph did an excellent job cleaning our chimney and taking care of our wood stove. They gave us tips on how to help us getting even longer use of our wood stove. They had a complete report including photos of what was happening on our stove and chimneys. Blue Ridge Chimneys put in our wood stove a few years ago. We have been happy with their work each year when they have come to work at our home.
