Chimney Repair & Sweep in Clayton, MO
St. Louis County · 1920s–1940s masonry, plus newer infill
Clayton homes tend to be substantial masonry construction from the 1920s and 1930s, frequently with multiple fireplaces — a formal living room fireplace, sometimes a study or bedroom fireplace, and a separate furnace flue. That means multiple flues in one stack, and multiple opportunities for one of them to be quietly failing. We are also called out to a fair number of Clayton homes where a fireplace was closed off during a renovation without the flue being properly sealed or the damper addressed.

Why Greater St. Louis chimneys take such a beating
St. Louis runs through roughly 40 to 50 freeze-thaw cycles a year. Water soaks into brick and mortar, freezes, expands, and splits it apart. This is the single biggest cause of chimney damage in the region.
