Chimney sweep, inspection and repair in Southfield
Southfield's neighborhoods are mostly brick ranches and colonials from the 1950s and 1960s, with condominium communities and apartment buildings along the main roads.
Mid-century brick
A brick ranch chimney from the 1950s is usually one chimney with two flues: one for the fireplace and one for the furnace or water heater. After sixty-plus years we see a lot of worn crowns, and flashing that has been sealed over more than once.
These chimneys are low on the roof and easy to forget. An inspection looks at the crown, the flashing and every flue, and you hear what we found in plain language.
When the furnace was replaced
Most of these houses are on their second or third furnace. When a new furnace vents out through a side wall instead of up the chimney, the water heater can end up alone in a flue sized for both, and that's worth checking.
Condominiums, HOAs and rentals
Southfield has a lot of condominium communities and rental houses. Alongside homeowners we work with commercial properties, property managers, and condo and HOA communities. If you manage several units, call {phone} and we'll plan the visits together.

Repairs on brick ranches
Crowns and flashing are the most common repairs on these chimneys. We show you the damage first, go over whether a smaller repair will do, and send a written quote.
A fireplace you want to use again
