Who Can I Call in St. Louis for Leaky Chimney Repairs?

Count on us for these too! We can do a thorough chimney inspection to get the bottom of any leak-related issues throughout your chimney and fireplace, then offer effective solutions for resolving them. We provide chimney crown repairs, flashing repairs, chimney cap installation, and waterproofing services.

How is water harmful to chimneys?

Now, we can’t stress enough how important it is to address water-related chimney and fireplace damages – and fast. Masonry materials are very porous, so they’ll easily soak in water when left vulnerable. This quickly leads to decay and deterioration, especially during the winter when the freeze/thaw process can occur.

In addition, water causes rusting, mold growth, staining, discoloration, and all sorts of other issues that are difficult to address – and expensive to repair.

Does English Sweep Sell Fireplace Inserts & Stoves?

Absolutely – as well as the parts that protect them, like dampers, chimney caps, and chase covers. Which product are you interested in?

  • Freestanding Stoves: Stoves are known for being an excellent and efficient source of heat (say hello to lower energy bills), and they look stylish too. They’re easy to personalize, can be placed nearly anywhere, and you don’t even need to have a chimney in place to own one – we can vent it right through your wall or ceiling.
  • Fireplace InsertsFireplace inserts work great for those who already have an existing masonry fireplace and chimney, but are looking to modernize it in terms of efficiency. Easily switch fuels by upgrading to a gas insert, or get more from your wood-burning setup with a new wood fireplace insert. Either way, we’ve got you covered.

Like we said above, we also can install a new custom chase cover, an efficient top-sealing damper, a reliable stainless steel chimney cap, and more. Whether you want an entirely new setup – or just some renovations for your current one that make it look like new – we’re here for you.

What Chimney Relining Services Does English Sweep Offer?

We offer the following in terms of chimney relining:

Why are chimney liners important?

Well, up until the last century or so, they weren’t really considered important at all! Fortunately, now we know better – and we have facts to back this up. Facts like… chimneys without liners can cause adjacent woodwork to catch fire in only a matter of hours. Yikes.

In addition to protecting your home from heat and flames, chimney liners are also essential for protecting the chimney structure itself. All of that acidic smoke and those harmful gases that fly up your flue would quickly eat away at your system’s materials if a reliable liner wasn’t in place. Finally, count on a well-fitted liner to help guide all of those fumes safely up and out of your flue – in the most efficient way possible.

Who Can I Call for Emergency Chimney Services in the St. Louis Area?

Sometimes a chimney service can’t wait. What constitutes an emergency chimney situation?

  • The presence of carbon monoxide in your home
  • A flue blockage that leaves your chimney unsafe for use (i.e. smoke is billowing into your home)
  • A chimney fire or other fire hazard/event

If an event of this nature occurs, you give us a call, and we’ll be out as soon as we can (usually within 24 – 48 hours). Simple as that.

We’ll Clean Your Dryer Vents Too

Oh – one more thing. When it comes to venting-related services, we don’t stop with chimneys. We can also service and clean your dryer vents.

Why is this a necessary service? And do you really need to hire a professional for it?

Here’s the thing – dryer-related fires make up a large portion of home fires in the United States every year, and the number one cause of these are clogged up vents (or a lack of cleaning). As flammable lint accumulates in your vents over time, it forms into tight balls that block airflow and cause your dryer to overheat. Combine an overheated appliance with flammable materials and – you guessed it – you’ve got a fire.

Now, we know there are lots of DIY dryer vent cleaning kits online, and some sites suggest homeowners even use a vacuum hose to get this job done on their own. We can’t say this is a practice we recommend, especially for those with longer vents (you know, the ones with lots of twists and turns). It’s simply too easy to push a clog in tighter without realizing it, which would only exacerbate any issues. In addition, you run the risk of breaking the vent if improper equipment or techniques are used.

In the end, the only way to truly gain peace of mind knowing everything was done right – and that your dryer is functioning safely – is by hiring a team of experts to handle it all.
