Chimney Sweeping & Fireplace Repair in Mississauga

Expect $189 to $349 for a single flue in Mississauga, including a Level 1 inspection and a written report you can hand to an insurer. Two flues on one visit, steep Lorne Park and Mineola roof pitches that need a harness, or a wood insert that has to be pulled to reach the liner push the number toward the top of that band. Whatever the figure is, you approve it in writing before any tarp goes down.

Every burning season for wood — fireplace, insert or stove — and at minimum every second year for a gas appliance vented through masonry. Homes near the lake in Port Credit and Clarkson also deal with damp, salted air that corrodes caps and dampers faster than inland Peel, so we check those hardware items on every visit rather than only on the wood side.

Almost always a tired thermopile, a soot-glazed pilot sensor, or a pilot flame that has drifted off the probe. The millivolt safety circuit reads the voltage drop and closes the valve exactly as it is designed to. Our trucks carry thermopiles, thermocouples, pilot assemblies and glass gaskets for the units Peel builders installed most, so it is usually solved on the first visit.

A stainless cap runs roughly $195 to $470 installed, depending on flue size and whether you need single, multi-flue or a draft-correcting design. Resealing a crown is about $360 to $720; a full poured concrete crown rebuild lands between $950 and $2,300. A hairline crown crack caught this year is the cheapest insurance against a five-figure rebuild in five years.

Yes, and it is one of our highest-volume jobs. Brokers covering Mississauga, Oakville, Milton and rural Caledon routinely refuse to bind or renew until they see WETT documentation on a wood-burning appliance. You get a signed report, photographs and clearance measurements, emailed the same day in a format brokers accept without follow-up questions.

Urgent enough to book this season. Spalling faces and washed-out mortar mean water is already inside the masonry, and every freeze-thaw night along the lake turns that water into expanding pressure. Repointing the top few courses is a fraction of the cost of rebuilding from the roofline once the stack starts leaning.

If your house predates roughly 1955 and was later converted to gas or oil, there is a real chance the flue is unlined or running on cracked clay tile. It is the most common serious defect we photograph in Port Credit, Cooksville and the older Streetsville blocks. A correctly sized insulated stainless liner solves it, generally $2,300 to $4,900 installed.

Carbon monoxide alarms, gas odours, chimney fires, smoke pouring into a room and no-heat calls are triaged ahead of everything else. Routine sweeps and inspections book inside the same week outside the October-to-December crush. If you want a specific date, September is the month to call.

Napoleon, Valor, Regency, Continental, Marquis, Montigo, Heat & Glo, Majestic, Mendota, Pacific Energy, Osburn, Enviro and Kozy Heat, plus the builder-grade zero-clearance units that went into Erin Mills, Churchill Meadows and Meadowvale subdivisions from the early 1990s onward. We service them regardless of who installed the unit.

Every tech is WETT certified for solid fuel, carries a G2 or G1 gas licence, is TSSA registered and works under $2M liability coverage, and every one of them is background checked. Ask any contractor for those four credentials before you let them open a firebox in your house.

Yes, and it is rarely the wood's fault. Roll-out comes from negative pressure in an airtight modern house, an undersized or partially blocked flue, a cap creating downdraft, or a smoke chamber that was parged badly the day it was built. We take a manometer draft reading and diagnose the actual cause instead of guessing at it.

A photo-documented report covering flue condition, creosote grade, liner status, crown and cap condition, draft readings and clearances to combustibles, plus a short list of anything worth watching before next winter. It is written in plain English for a homeowner, and insurers accept it as-is.
