Kelvin Chimney Inc

At Kelvin Chimney Inc, chimney cleaning is viewed as an important preventative measure that supports the long-term performance and maintenance of residential chimney systems. One of the primary concerns associated with wood-burning fireplaces is creosote, a combustible substance that forms during combustion and can gradually accumulate along the interior surfaces of a chimney. Excessive creosote deposits can create a significant fire hazard if they are not removed appropriately. In addition to creosote, chimneys may become obstructed by leaves, twigs, bird nests, animal nesting materials, and other debris that restricts the passage of smoke and combustion gases. These obstructions can contribute to poor airflow, unpleasant odors, smoke entering the home, and other fireplace performance concerns. Regular professional chimney sweeping helps remove accumulated soot and creosote while allowing visible blockages and maintenance concerns to be identified.

Inspection & Flue Maintenance

Every heating season demands verified venting clearance and intact structural boundaries against combustible framing.

Rotary Creosote Removal

Multi-Point Video Analysis

Stainless Steel Liners

Heavy-duty poly and steel rotary whip systems strip glazed creosote down to bare flue tile, paired with HEPA-filtered vacuum containment to safeguard living spaces.

High-definition 360-degree articulating camera scans evaluate internal flue joints, hidden mortar erosion, and cracked clay tiles from damper to chimney crown.

Custom-sized UL-listed 316Ti stainless steel flexible and rigid liners insulate venting channels, permanently sealing compromised flues and preventing gas migration.

Masonry & Hardware Solutions

Cast Concrete Crowns

Cracked mortar wash crowns allow Maryland freeze-thaw cycles to split chimney tops. We cast reinforced, overhang concrete crowns with drip edges to shed driving rain clear of the brickwork.

Tuckpointing & Flashing

Spalling bricks and crumbling mortar joints are ground out and packed with color-matched Type N masonry mortar. Custom-formed lead and copper counter-flashing locks the roofline transition water-tight.

Top-Sealing Lock Dampers

Leaky throat dampers let conditioned indoor air escape year-round. Top-mounted stainless steel spring-loaded dampers clamp shut with silicone gaskets, sealing out rain, drafts, and pests.

Photographic Evidence Before Every Structural Quote

We document internal flue fissures and roofline masonry wear on camera before submitting any repair quote. Homeowners see exactly what our technicians see.
