Chimney sweep, inspection and repair in Livonia

Livonia filled in fast in the 1950s and 1960s, and a lot of the city is still the brick ranch houses built then, on streets off Five Mile, Six Mile, Seven Mile and Middlebelt.

The Livonia ranch chimney

The typical Livonia ranch has one brick chimney near the middle of the roof. It often carries a flue for the living room fireplace and a second flue for the furnace or water heater. After sixty-some years, the parts that take the most weather are the crown on top and the flashing where the chimney meets the roof.

New roofs, old flashing

Most of these houses are on their second or third roof. Every re-roof is a chance for the flashing around the chimney to be done well or done in a hurry, and a lot of chimney leaks we look at start there. If you've had a water stain near the chimney since the last roof went on, mention it when you book.

Two flues, one chimney

When a furnace gets replaced with one that vents out the side of the house, the chimney flue it used can end up serving only the water heater, or nothing at all. An inspection looks at every flue in the chimney and tells you what each one is doing.

Crowns and flashing

On these chimneys, the crown and the flashing are the repairs we quote most. We show you the damage first and tell you whether a smaller repair will solve it before we talk about rebuilding anything.
