Why Newtown chimneys work harder than most
Newtown has some of the oldest houses in Fairfield County. The colonials and farmhouses along Main Street and in Sandy Hook have big center chimneys that were built long before modern flue liners. Out on the wooded lots, plenty of homes burn wood all winter in a stove or insert. Both put a lot of wear on a chimney, and both need more than a quick brush.
- Wood stoves and inserts that run every day from fall to spring build creosote fast
- Antique center chimneys with no liner, or a liner that has cracked or shifted
- Inserts installed without a full-length liner up the chimney
- Crowns and mortar broken up by Connecticut freeze-thaw cycles
- Leaks at the flashing, and animals nesting in chimneys with no cap

Learn moreFive parts we check on every visit
Most chimney problems start in one of these places. Each one is photographed during the inspection, so you can see exactly what we see.
- CapKeeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue and stops sparks landing on the roof. Caps, Crowns & Waterproofing →
- CrownThe concrete slab on top of the stack. Once it cracks, water goes straight into the masonry below. Masonry Repair →
- Flue linerCarries smoke and exhaust safely up and out. Cracked or missing liners are the most common hidden problem. Chimney Liners →
- MasonryBrick or stone and mortar. Freeze-thaw cycles open the joints first, then the bricks start to spall. Masonry Repair →
- FlashingMetal that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof, and the source of most leaks. Caps, Crowns & Waterproofing →
No theatre, no scare tactics, no invented emergencies
Wood-burning specialists
Stoves and inserts that run all winter need different care than a fireplace used twice a year. We know the difference.
Careful with old houses
Antique chimneys get repairs that suit them: matching mortar, matching brick and stone, and liners sized to the flue.
Photos, not guesses
You see inside the flue and the top of the stack. Every recommendation comes with a picture.
