Chimney Sweep & Repair in Ann Arbor, MI

Ann Arbor, a city in Washtenaw County with roughly 122,000 residents, is the center of our Ann Arbor-area service territory. The typical home in Ann Arbor was built around 1971 (about 20% of homes here were built before 1950), a period that mixed site-built masonry chimneys with factory-built fireplace systems — so caps, crowns, and flashing tend to fail before the structure itself does. Most homes in Ann Arbor (about 72%) heat with natural or propane gas, and gas furnaces and water heaters vent through the chimney too — a blocked or deteriorated flue can push carbon monoxide back into the house. At roughly 4,300 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Ann Arbor together with nearby communities such as Pittsfield Charter Township, Scio Township and Ypsilanti.

Michigan winters are long and cold, with many days below freezing — that means heavy freeze-thaw stress on masonry and a longer burning season, which increases creosote buildup for regular wood-burning households.
