From dust, dirt and dander to debris and allergens, any number of potentially harmful particles can get trapped inside your duct system. A dirty duct system will continue to re-circulate this contaminated air and, in some cases, it can escape the system and be distributed inside your home. In other cases, it can stay in your ducts and continue to attract even more dust, increasing the amount of contamination day after day. Our professional air duct cleaning system features powerful vacuum equipment to reach deep into your air duct system, remove the contaminants and help get a dirty duct system working efficiently again.
"Everything went very well. Will use them in the future for preventative maintenance."

A properly constructed chimney crown using quality materials can last 50 to 70 years with appropriate maintenance. Poorly constructed crowns might need replacement in 20 years or less. Weather exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and construction quality all affect longevity. Regular inspections and prompt repairs of minor issues can significantly extend your chimney crown's useful life and prevent more costly repairs down the road.
Homeowners' insurance covers sudden, accidental damage to chimney crowns from events like fallen trees or storm damage. However, gradual deterioration from age or lack of maintenance falls outside coverage parameters. Review your specific policy details, as coverage varies between insurers. Document any storm-related damage with photos and maintain records of regular chimney maintenance to support potential claims for weather-related damage.
The chimney crown forms the concrete or masonry covering across the entire top surface of your chimney, sloping away from the flue to direct water away. A chimney cap, by contrast, is a smaller component that fits directly over the flue opening to prevent animal entry and block sparks. While the cap protects just the flue opening, the crown safeguards the entire chimney structure from water penetration.
Professional chimney inspections should occur annually to evaluate crown condition along with other chimney components. Homeowners in regions with severe weather patterns or frequent freeze-thaw cycles might benefit from semi-annual inspections. A thorough inspection examines the crown for cracks, spalling, deteriorating mortar joints, and proper water drainage. Early detection of minor issues prevents them from developing into major structural problems.
A deteriorating chimney crown frequently leads to interior moisture problems. When water penetrates crown cracks, it can travel through the chimney structure into adjacent walls and ceilings. This moisture migration often results in stained drywall, peeling paint, and potential mold growth. Early intervention through crown repair or sealing prevents these secondary damages and protects your home's interior from water-related deterioration.
