Winter in New London is long and hard, the housing stock is old, and many chimneys predate modern liner standards entirely. This is what we actually find here, and what we check on every visit.
Generations of New London homes heated with oil, then gas, and those appliance flues live inside the same chimney as the fireplace. Oil soot, acidic condensate and cracked tiles degrade those liners quietly, and a failing appliance flue is a safety problem, not a detail.
Coastal storms drive rain and wet snow sideways at New London chimney tops, tear at caps and soak crowns that are already cracked by freeze-thaw. After a big storm, the cap, crown and flashing all deserve a look before the next fire gets lit.
A tall exterior chimney in a New London January holds a column of heavy cold air that sinks into the room between fires, carrying creosote smell with it and making the first fire smoky. A clean flue, sound damper and right cap solve most of it.
A chimney fire can crack flue tiles and warp metal liners without leaving much evidence in the room - the fire burns up, not out. Any chimney in New London County that has had one needs a full camera inspection before it is used again, without exception.

Once a year at minimum for a fireplace in regular use - and after about every cord of wood burned, whichever comes first. New London fireplaces work for months in a cold flue, and creosote builds steadily the whole season. The sweep and inspection together are the safety check.
Serious enough to fix before another winter. Mortar is the sacrificial layer that keeps water out of the brickwork, and freeze-thaw in Connecticut opens failed joints fast once they start. Repointing sound brick is a repair; waiting until bricks loosen and shift turns it into a rebuild.
Yes - in many New London homes the furnace, boiler or water heater vents through its own flue in the shared stack, and oil and gas liners crack, soot up and block with age. A blocked appliance flue can spill exhaust indoors, so we inspect every flue in the chimney.
Often ice and flashing working together: ice dams push meltwater against the chimney, flashing loosened by freeze-thaw lets it in, and saturated brick passes it through to the wall. The stain shows by the fireplace, but the repair belongs at the roofline and the crown, in that order.

No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
