Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs

Small issues today become structural (and safety) disasters tomorrow.

Smoke Backing Up Indoors

Poor drafting, blocked flues, or negative air pressure force smoke into your living space. Often a sweep or liner fix.

Water in Your Fireplace

Rain in your firebox means failed flashing, a cracked crown, or a missing cap. Every rain accelerates the damage.

About East Hartford

Chimney Specialists Serving East Hartford

East Hartford's mid-century housing stock — split-levels, ranches, and cape-style homes built between the 1940s and 1970s — has a consistent chimney problem: clay tile flue liners that have reached the end of their service life. These liners crack under decades of heating cycles and Connecticut winters, and once the liner fails, the chimney is no longer safe to use without relining.

In Hockanum and along the Burnside Avenue corridor, we also see frequent crown failures. Flat or poorly sloped crowns allow water to pool and freeze, eventually cracking the concrete and letting moisture run into the firebox and framing. Crown repair or replacement is often the most cost-effective first fix for a leaking chimney in this area.

Our team reaches the area via I-84 and Route 2 and carries liner systems for every appliance type — wood stoves, oil furnaces, gas boilers, and wood-burning fireplaces. Video-scan confirmation before and after every reline is standard practice.

We’ve been the local go-to for chimney sweeping, masonry restoration, relining, and inspections since 1995. Our CSIA-certified sweeps arrive in branded trucks, protect your home with drop cloths and HEPA vacuums, and finish every masonry job with our white-glove cleanup — roof washed, gutters cleaned, footprints raked.

What Our Customers Say

5 average from 1,000+ reviews

“Found a leak during the heavy rains last week. They were out the next morning, traced it to the flashing, and fixed it same day. Clean, professional, and fair pricing.”

Michael R.
West Hartford, CT

“Our 1920s chimney needed a full rebuild. The crew rebuilt it beautifully and then washed the roof and raked the lawn afterward. You'd never know they were here, except the chimney looks brand new.”

Susan & Tom P.
Wethersfield, CT

“Booked a sweep and inspection by text. The tech laid down drop cloths, used a HEPA vacuum, and showed me the video scan of the flue. Genuinely the most thorough chimney company I've used.”

East Hartford Chimney Questions Answered

How quickly can you reach East Hartford for chimney service?

+
We cross into East Hartford via I-84 in about 20 minutes from our West Hartford location. Same-day slots are available for sweeps; relining and masonry work is scheduled a few weeks out during fall booking season.

What chimney issues are most common in the mid-century homes along Hockanum and Burnside?

+
Crumbling clay tile liners and cracked chimney crowns are the most frequent problems in the split-levels and ranches along Hockanum and Burnside Avenue. Homes built before 1975 typically have clay tile liners that are now past their design life. A video-scan inspection confirms the liner condition before we recommend relining.

How much does chimney relining cost in East Hartford?

+
Stainless steel liner installation starts at $1,500 and varies by flue length and appliance type. HeatShield cerfractory repair — for chimneys with minor joint damage rather than full liner failure — typically runs $800-$2,500. We provide a fixed price after a video-scan assessment, with no surprises.

Do you repair leaking chimney crowns?

+
Yes. Crown repair is one of our most common jobs in this area. A cracked or flat crown lets rain pool and freeze, which accelerates damage to the masonry below. We pour a sloped crown cap or replace the entire crown, then seal the masonry to stop water infiltration.

Can you service oil-burning furnace flues?

+
We clean and inspect oil-burning furnace flues as well as wood and gas appliances. Many older East Hartford homes have oil heat, and the furnace flue should be inspected annually for soot buildup, liner condition, and proper draft. We reline oil furnace flues with UL-listed stainless steel liner systems when needed.
