Mission Chimney Sweep, Inspection & Repair

Because water is behind most chimney trouble, a Mission service call often starts by checking the parts that keep rain out, the cap, crown, flashing, and mortar, before anything else. Catching a small crown crack or a rusted cap early tends to prevent the larger masonry and interior damage that follows a season or two of water getting in.

In a climate like Mission's, water is the quiet driver behind most chimney trouble. Rain and snowmelt work into porous brick and open joints, then freezing temperatures do the rest. A chimney that sheds water well — cap, crown, flashing, and sound masonry all doing their jobs — holds up far better through the years here.

Mission, Kansas falls inside the region we service from Kansas City, MO. Coverage extends to about 65 miles from the primary city, and we plan routes so Mission appointments fit into the surrounding Kansas City schedule.

When to call about your Mission chimney

For homes in Mission, these are good reasons to schedule service rather than wait:

• a burning smell or long drying times from the clothes dryer
• the fireplace or gas unit will not light or will not stay lit
• you are buying or selling the home and need the chimney assessed
• black flakes or debris appearing on the hearth
• you have not had the chimney inspected or swept in the past year
• water, staining, or a musty smell around the fireplace or ceiling nearby
• a strong smoky or campfire smell inside, even when there is no fire

What to expect from a visit

A visit to a Mission property starts with looking at the actual system rather than assuming. We check the flue, firebox, damper, cap, crown, and the masonry or chase, explain what we find in plain terms, and go over the options before any work begins. You get a clear picture of what needs attention and what can wait.

A well-kept chimney is a quiet part of a safe, comfortable Mission home, and most of what keeps one that way is unglamorous: clean venting, sound masonry, a working cap and damper, and water kept out. We focus on those fundamentals and are straightforward about what needs attention now versus what can reasonably wait.
