Chimney sweep, inspection and repair in Sterling Heights
Sterling Heights became a city in 1968 and grew mostly through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, so most of its houses are colonials and ranches from those decades, off Van Dyke, Hall Road and the Mile roads.
Factory-built fireplaces and framed chases
A lot of houses from those decades have a factory-built fireplace with a metal flue inside a framed chase, instead of a brick chimney. The chase is a wooden box on the outside of the house, sided to match, with a sheet metal chase cover on top. The original covers are now thirty to fifty years old, and rust is the usual sign that one is at the end of its life.
We measure the chase and replace a rusted cover with one made to fit it.
Brick chimneys from the 1970s
Houses with brick chimneys from the 1970s are at the age where the crown and the mortar joints near the top start to need attention. From the ground they often look fine. An inspection looks at the top of the chimney, the flashing and the inside of the flue.
Knowing what you have
Plenty of Sterling Heights homeowners aren't sure whether their fireplace is masonry or factory-built, or what the chimney is made of under the siding. That's a fair question to start with, and an inspection answers it.
