Some jobs explain the whole trade in a single day. These two brick chimneys sat a few streets apart, both original to their houses, one wearing a scorched top plate where heat had slowly cooked the old system. The fix for each was the same honest sequence: retire the old pipe, run a continuous flexible stainless liner down the flue, and finish with a galvanized cap fastened for wind. The crew photographed the day as it happened, and this page is that record.

What the old chimneys told us
Why a continuous liner
The scorched plate came off in one piece and told the whole story. Heat had been working on that steel for years, and nobody could see it from the ground.

The cap is the finish line
Two chimneys, one day, and both houses burning safer that evening than they had in years. If your own chimney top looks anything like our before footage, the camera inspection that starts this process is free.
