When a East Troy chimney smokes into the room, leaks after a thaw, or smells of old fires all summer, it is rarely random - a cracked liner, spalled mortar, or a cap buried and rusted through under snow. We diagnose it properly and repair it with the right materials.

A chimney in East Troy works from the first cold night to the last thaw, then sits damp through a humid summer. Deep freeze-thaw, lake moisture and heavy wood heat do the damage here. This is what we actually find, and what we check on every visit.
Homes downwind of the Great Lakes in Wisconsin can take heavy lake-effect snow and damp while towns an hour away stay dry. Snow piles on caps, meltwater soaks masonry, and a flue that never fully dries rusts its damper and cap. A sound, screened cap matters more here than most places.
Plenty of East Troy homes burn wood as real heat for months, not decoration, and steady burning lays down creosote - the glazed kind fastest, from low, smoldering fires. That buildup can ignite inside the flue and crack liners. Regular sweeping removes it, and a camera check shows what it coated.
Older East Troy chimneys were lined with clay tiles that expand and contract with every fire. A bitter-cold flue meeting a hot fire, season after season, cracks tiles and opens gaps at the joints. Those faults hide inside the chimney, which is why we diagnose liners on camera, not by guessing.
An open flue in spring and summer is shelter, and raccoons, birds and squirrels nest in chimneys across Walworth County while the fireplace sits idle. A nest blocks the draft, holds moisture against the liner, and can push smoke and carbon monoxide into the room. We clear blockages and fit screened caps.

It is serious, because open joints are how water gets in and heat gets out. Spalled brick and recessed mortar let freeze-thaw work deeper every winter, and gaps near the flue let hot gases reach the masonry and framing. Small joint repairs are straightforward when caught early, before the damage reaches the liner.
A flue full of cold, heavy air pushes down until it warms, and a blocked cap, cracked liner or tightly sealed house makes the spill worse. The fix depends on the cause - warming the flue, clearing the cap, repairing the liner, or correcting the pressure. We check them in order instead of guessing.
Be careful, and leave the fireplace off until the top is checked if the cap is buried or the fire burns oddly after a big snow. A blocked cap means the flue cannot vent properly, and exhaust can spill into the room. Once the cap and vent are cleared and checked, the fireplace can go back into service.
Do not light a fire. Raccoons, birds and squirrels nest in open flues across Wisconsin in spring and summer, and a nest blocks the draft and holds moisture against the liner. Lighting under a blockage pushes smoke and carbon monoxide into the room. We remove the blockage, check for damage, and fit a screened cap.
Not until it has been looked at. Cracked flue tiles, gaps in mortar, creosote buildup and freeze-thaw damage are all invisible from the room. An inspection checks the firebox, flue and chimney top end to end, gives you a plain-language report, and tells you honestly what is sound and what needs work before the first fire.
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.
