Learn about Gas Fireplace RepairWhy it matters
A clean chimney is a safer home
Removes soot & creosote
Buildup on the flue walls narrows the passage, weakens draft, and is the fuel behind a chimney fire. Regular cleaning clears it.
Improves efficiency
A clear, sound flue drafts the way it was designed to, so a fireplace or appliance burns cleaner and vents properly.
Protects your home
Keeping water out and the flue intact prevents the masonry decay, leaks, and hazards that quietly develop over the years.
Since 1998
A field-service company, not a franchise script
Mister Chimney has worked on chimneys and fireplaces across Missouri since 1998. We serve two metros — St. Louis and Kansas City — with the same approach in both: look at the actual system, explain what we find, and do the work that’s needed rather than a packaged upsell.
We handle wood and gas fireplaces, masonry and prefab chimneys, wood and pellet stoves, and the venting that ties them together, for homes and commercial properties alike.

Good to know
Common questions
How often should I have my chimney cleaned or inspected?
The widely recommended practice is a yearly inspection of any chimney or venting system in use, with cleaning added whenever soot or creosote buildup, an animal, or a blockage calls for it. Households that burn often may need cleaning more frequently.
Do you serve both St. Louis and Kansas City?
Yes. We cover the St. Louis metro (including the Metro East communities in Illinois) and the Kansas City metro (on both the Missouri and Kansas sides), generally within about 65 miles of each primary city. Each area has its own direct phone number.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
Chimney and fireplace work is scoped from what we find on site, because two systems that look similar can need very different work. We assess the system, explain the options, and are clear about scope before any work begins.
Are you available after hours?
We are available 24/7 to take your call and schedule service. Timing for the work itself depends on the job and the season.
My fireplace is gas. Do you still service it?
Yes. We service gas fireplaces, gas logs, and their venting, along with wood-burning fireplaces, prefab units, and wood and pellet stoves.
