Multi-Level Chimney Safety Inspections

Failure to prevent creosote buildup in your chimney can cause fires.

That’s why the National Fire Protection Association recommends that chimneys, fireplaces, and vents that are in frequent use be:

  • Annually inspected to help ensure the ventilation paths are clear and free of harmful deposits and blockages.
  • Compliance with clearance requirements.
  • Checks to ensure the chimney is structurally sound.
 

Priddy’s Chimney’s staff are experienced and certified professionals and will perform a thorough inspection of your fireplace or appliance flue for you.

If blockages or significant soot deposits are found inside your chimney flue, our experienced sweeps are equipped with the tools & training to clear the flue of any deposits to ensure a safe and clear ventilation path for your appliance or fireplace.

Customer Reviews of our Chimney Sweep Services

TRI ME

I recently had to get my chimney inspected. I contacted Priddy Chimney Solutions and made an appointment. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly they could fit me in. The technician, Ariel Whitman, arrived on time. He was very pleasant and well mannered. Ariel and his assistant made sure their shoes were covered prior to entering my home and they ensured that my carpet was covered prior to beginning their work. They worked very efficiently cleaning and examining my chimney both in my home and up on the roof. Once they completed their work, Ariel came back to the door and showed me pictures of the inside of my chimney and made recommendations about how I should proceed. Ariel took the time to answer all of my questions and made a note to put me on an annual inspection schedule. My overall experience with Ariel and Priddy Chimney Solutions was fantastic and I am looking forward to using my fireplace this season with the knowledge and peace of mind that my family and I will be safe doing so. I highly recommend this company.

I recently used Priddy Chimney Sweeps to reline two chimneys in my house. The techs who came were extremely nice, respectful of my house, earnest in their work ethic, politely answered all my questions and generally just nice people. They came on time, worked hard all day and cleaned up afterwards like they were never here. I am actually calling them back one month later to request more work with a smile on my face.

Ariel and Dom came to my home to clean my wood stove. They were awesome! Very knowledgeable, thorough , respectful of my home. It was a pleasure to deal with them and talk with them.

Masonry Contractor Services in Baltimore

The Best Brick and Masonry Contractor in Baltimore

Masonry is both a trade and an art. It involves more than just adhering block together using mortar: masonry is a mix of smart design, color matching, materials science, and the ability to repair bonded structures already in place. 

Priddy Chimney firmly believes masonry is the one trade that mixes physics and sculpture, strength and design.

Chimney and Rebuilding & Repair Service

We Take Pride in Our Chimney Repair & Rebuild Services

Many chimneys are covered with terra cotta clay tiles, stacked one on top of the other all the way from the foundation to the top of the chimney.

Over time, the clay tiles will weaken due to the acidic nature of the vented gases, extreme heat, absorption of moisture from rain and snow, and the shifting and settling of the house and foundation.

These compromised tiles will spall, crack and split, at which point they can no longer contain the gases and the flammable byproducts of combustion they are designed to vent.

With a new chimney liner installed by Priddy Chimney Solutions, you can restore the safety and efficiency of your chimney.

Gas Fireplace Repair and More

We have deep experience with clay brick, concrete block, and stone structures in historic and contemporary homes. Our repair expertise includes repointing (also known as “tuckpointing”) of deteriorated mortar joints, removal and replacement of cracked or distressed (sometimes called “spalling”) brick, as well as shelf angle and lintel replacement/restoration.

If it involves brick, block, or mortar, chances are we have project experience. Call us with your issues and let’s chat about the right masonry solution for you.

Gas Fireplace Repair in Washington DC
Worker Tuck Pointing and Repairing

Quality Tuckpointing & Fireplace Mortar Repair

Tuckpointing involves using two different colors of mortar to fill in the joints of brickwork.

One color used for tuckpointing is created to match the actual bricks. This causes it to blend in and creates the appearance of seamlessness.

The second color is contrasted, and used for the actual appearance of mortar joints.

By placing the second color in between the brick-colored mortars it produces the illusion that joints are very fine instead of appearing thick.

Fireplace Design & Build

A fireplace can set the tone for the whole aesthetic and style of a room by acting as a focal point. Rough brick or stone can give the space a rustic feel, while smooth tile can be used to set a modern tone.

Whatever your personal style, Priddy can work with you to design a solution that fits your living environment.

We do the following:

  • Design Fireplace Mantels and Built-Ins
  • Install Fireplace Glass Doors
  • Installation of New Factory-Built Fireplaces
  • Conversion of wood burning fireplaces to gas
  • Wood burning fireplace insert upgrades
  • …and More!

Top Rated Dryer Vent Cleaning Baltimore

Having a clean dryer vent improves the safety and efficiency of dryer installations. Dryer vents get filled with lint and other debris over time.

This increases drying time which, in turn, can cause the dryer to overheat. Best practice is to have dryer vents cleaned and inspected periodically to avoid exhaust restrictions.

Our Certified Dryer and Exhaust Vent technicians use equipment designed specifically to tackle both simple and complex dryer vent systems. The technicians remove lint as well as remedy blockages caused by animal nesting and collapsed ducts.
