Hello! I'm Jim McPherson with the Chimney Service Co. I'm nationally certified, I'm insured, and I'm the one who does the work. I started doing this work in 1984 and over the years have worked on multi-thousands of chimneys and fireplaces. I sincerely appreciate your business. Based on your individual situation I make suggestions, not sales pitches. I only sell products and services I believe in and stand behind.

When it comes to repairs, I go by the old adage, "Check the fuses before you replace the engine." Please feel free to call me if you have any questions at all about your fireplace, chimney, roof leaks, or any of the services I provide. If I can't help you I will try to direct you to someone who can.
FIREPLACE SMOKING PROBLEMS
Based on my many years of experience in this business I can generally tell you fairly quickly what is causing fireplace smoking problem. I have several simple diagnostic tests to see exactly what is happening. My general approach is to try the most simple and easy solutions first.
CHIMNEY LEANING PROBLEMS
Some brick-covered chimneys are subject to leaning in towards the house. This happens when the weight of the bricks on the roof is not properly supported. I have developed a number of methods to repair this type situation without having to tear down the entire structure of the chimney.
PRE-FAB RAIN PAN REPAIRS
Pre-fab (factory made) fireplace and chimney systems are subject to leaking, especially around the rain pan. The rain pan is a large sheet of galvanized steel which covers the top of the chimney chase (the chimney-shaped box around the pipe). Rain pans can suffer rust damage, especially if they are pushed down in the middle and holding rainwater.
MASONRY CHIMNEY REPAIRS
I repair fireplaces, brickwork and mortar crowns. I reline chimneys with UL approved stainless steel liners and a lightweight cast in place concrete mix. I install dampers and chimney caps. I diagnose and fix leaks, smoking problems and odor situations. I remove birds and animals.
BIRD AND ANIMAL RESCUE
Critters have a way of getting into chimneys. In the springtime chimney swifts will nest in uncapped chimneys and raise their young. These beneficial birds are noisy but harmless. The droppings they leave behind are another matter though. If you hear fluttering in your chimney, please call me about it. I can advise you how to avoid harming the birds and how I can clean things up and prevent them from moving back in next year by installing a chimney cap.
