We are Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certified National Fireplace Institute (NFI) certified and are members of the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG). We are family owned and operated. It is important to have a certified chimney sweep inspect your chimney on an annual basis. Due to New Jersey’s climate, it is important to have your chimney swept and maintained for the fall and winter seasons. A good chimney cleaning and inspection will have your chimney ready when you need it the most. Chimney fires are a major source of household fires and chimney maintenance is imperative to maintain the safety and integrity of your fireplace or wood stove.
Other than sweeps and inspections our service repairs include:
· Masonry Repair & Chimney Rebuilds — Masonry chimneys are strong, but sometimes mortar joints recede or crack, brick spalls and pops, and chimneys deteriorate. Whether you need repointing work done, brick replaced, or a total chimney rebuild, you can count on Top Cat Chimney Sweep to do the job quickly and to provide professional and attractive results. We also offer masonry waterproofing services, which can protect your newly repaired or rebuilt chimney, and keep water from damaging it in the future.
· Chimney Relining — The liner of the chimney is one of the most important components, as it contains and vents smoke and gas produced by the fireplace, stove, or furnace, and prevents heat from encountering nearby combustibles like wooden framing. Unfortunately, clay tile liners can crack and fall into the chimney, leaving the chimney unsafe and inefficient. If liner damage is a concern in your home or if your chimney was built without a liner, we can reline with stainless steel for a lifetime of protection.
· Leaky Chimney Repair — Have you heard water dripping down into your chimney, noticed pooling water in your firebox, or spotted rust streaks on your chimney or roof? It is time to schedule an inspection! Chimney leaks can quickly destroy more than just your chimney, but we can put a stop to your leak quickly and help prevent future leaks. From chimney waterproofing to chimney cap installation, chase cover installation, and crown repairs and rebuilds, we are ready to tackle any leak, no matter how big or small.
· Smoke Chamber Repair — Have you stopped using your fireplace because of all the smoke that backdrafts into your home when you light a fire? We repair smoke chambers and parge them smooth so that smoke can quickly funnel up into your chimney and out of your home and prevent heat or sparks from finding their way through any spaces or gap that may lead to combustibles.
· Damper Replacement — Tired of feeling all the cold or hot air (depending on the season) coming down into your home through your fireplace opening? We can help. We install top-sealing dampers. These dampers are more energy efficient and are installed at the top of your chimney, rather than in the throat. These dampers are easy to open and close and they provide protection against water, conditioned air loss, and downdrafts!
· Fireplace Makeovers — Is an outdated fireplace preventing your space from looking as good as it could? Is your fireplace more of a heat loser than a heat producer? We can help. From rebuilding your firebox to updating your fireplace facing and installing a new, highly efficient fireplace insert or stove, at Top Cat Chimney Sweep we have the experience, knowledge, and skill to makeover your fireplace.
