"Robert arrived right on time to complete the job. He was very professional and provided a lot of great information for a first-time wood burning fireplace owner. Very courteous, considerate and clean. The inspection and cleaning took about an hour. I plan on using QPS each time I need any work done on my chimney."

"Would recommend Riaz Chimney and Masonry 1000%. My husband and I noticed bad smoke draw and we found this company and requested a quote. They got back to us very quickly and were able to come out the very next day. They were very professional and really broke down the next steps. They made us feel comfortable. The got the job done quick and efficiently! Definitely would recommend."

"Great experience, Don showed up when he said he would, and was personable and flexible on scheduling. He made two trips to our home in Akron, the first to quote and the second to complete the quoted work, a gas log tune-up. He also told us a little about the ventless gas fireplace and the gas log we have(we've never had a fireplace before, so the added insight was helpful) and gave us some extra fireplace rocks he had left over from a previous job at no charge. We've already recommended Cleveland Clean Sweep to our neighbors who have a similar fireplace that doesn't work properly, and will definitely be calling them again for routine maintenance on the fireplace and gas log."

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.
