"I was facing a deadline around the sale of my home and I never hear from the company I originally hired. After loosing about 10 days, and finally having to enlist the help of Angie's List customer service representatives, I was really just looking for someone who could complete the work quickly and accommodate my shrinking deadline. To their credit C&A's Chimney Sweep & Lawn Maintenance Services reached out to me quickly . . . prioritized my needs . . . and got the job done with time to spare. They were accommodating and easy to work with. There were some cheaper companies, and I did have to pay an additional surcharge because we had a masonry (brick/stone) fireplace, but sometimes a bargain isn't really a bargain if it leads to lost time and added stress. We found C&A's Chimney Sweep & Lawn Maintenance Services to be proactive, communicative, eager for our business and committed to doing a good job."

"They did exactly what we asked them for. We have an extra large fireplace and they did an excellent job customizing it for the box. They cleaned up after the work was finished and we thought the price was fair for the work they did. The quality of their work and the responsiveness were excellent. We would use them again in the future if needed. "
Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.
Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.
Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.
Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.
Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
