Chimney Repair & Sweep in Kirkwood, MO
St. Louis County · Victorian through 1950s, wide mix
Kirkwood has one of the widest ranges of housing age in the county — genuine Victorians near the historic center, a lot of 1920s and 1930s homes, and postwar construction further out. That mix means we cannot assume anything before we look. A Victorian in Old Kirkwood may have an original unlined masonry flue that predates flue tile entirely, while a house six blocks away has a straightforward 1950s system. Both need very different work.

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.
