Youngstown homes come in every age and style, from older brick houses in established neighborhoods to newer builds on the edges of town. What most of them share is a chimney that works hard every winter. Chimney Sweeps and Masonry of America is a chimney sweep in Youngstown, OH homeowners can call for cleaning, inspections, chimney repairs, and masonry work, all from one local team.

We are based just up the road at 11 North Main St in Niles, and Youngstown and the rest of Mahoning County are a regular part of our week. Our technicians are certified chimney professionals, and we are a member of the National Chimney Guild.

Chimney Cleaning, Inspections, and Repairs for Youngstown Homes

A clean, sound chimney is the foundation of a safe fireplace. Every fire leaves creosote and soot on the inside of the flue, and over time that buildup becomes a fire hazard and slows the draft. Our chimney cleaning removes it from the flue, smoke chamber, and firebox, and clears out nests or debris that can block the chimney.

An annual inspection is just as important. We check the outside of the chimney for cracked masonry, loose bricks, and signs of water getting in, then look inside the flue for creosote, damaged flue tiles, and blockages. If the chimney serves a fireplace, wood stove insert, or gas appliance, we inspect that too, and you get a clear report of what we found.

When something needs fixing, we can usually handle it ourselves:

Chimney cap installation and repair to keep out rain, animals, and debris.

Chimney crown repair and replacement to stop water at the top of the chimney.

Chimney flashing installation to seal the joint where the chimney meets the roof.

Chimney liner installation and repair, including stainless steel liners for older flues and inserts.

Gas fireplace cleaning and repair, from dirty burners to a pilot light that will not stay lit.

Masonry Repair for Youngstown Chimneys

Brick and mortar take a beating in northeast Ohio. Water soaks into worn joints, freezes, and slowly pushes the masonry apart, and a chimney that looked fine a few years ago can start to flake, crack, or lean. Our masonry repair in Youngstown, OH covers repointing worn mortar joints, replacing cracked or spalled brick, rebuilding damaged chimney tops, and full chimney rebuilds when the structure is beyond a patch.

Because we are chimney sweeps and masons, we see the whole picture. A leak that looks like a flashing problem might really be a cracked crown, and a crumbling chimney top usually means water has been getting in for a while. We find the cause and fix it, so the repair lasts.

Not sure whether your chimney needs a sweep, a repair, or both? Start with an inspection. It tells you where things stand, what can wait, and what should be handled before you light another fire, so you can plan the work on your schedule instead of after an emergency.
