Our Expertise

Types of Chimneys We Service

Every chimney type has unique maintenance needs. Here’s how we address the local challenges Northeast Ohio homeowners face.

Common in older Akron homes and historical areas like Medina, masonry chimneys are durable but prone to water intrusion and freeze-thaw damage. Regular tuckpointing, crown repair, and waterproofing are essential to prevent spalling bricks and interior leaks during Ohio’s wet seasons.

Often found in modern builds or renovations, these chimneys use lightweight metal or insulated pipes. Local homeowners must check for rust, joint separation, and clearances especially after long winters. We recommend annual inspections to catch early wear and fire risks.

Metal chimneys are efficient but can deteriorate quickly from Northeast Ohio’s humidity, snow, and temperature swings. Regular maintenance includes corrosion checks, cap replacement, and ensuring vent pipes are properly insulated and free of condensation buildup.

Gas fireplaces and furnaces vent through smaller flues that must stay clear and properly lined. In homes across Summit and Stark Counties, blockages from animals or collapsed liners can pose carbon monoxide hazards. Liner inspections, gas flue cleaning, and draft testing are crucial.

Common in rural or suburban properties around Wadsworth and Green, wood stove chimneys build up creosote rapidly. These chimneys require more frequent cleaning, ideally twice per season if used daily in winter, along with cap maintenance to block nesting animals.

Installed within masonry fireplaces, inserts increase heating efficiency but require careful venting and sealing. Regular service includes inspecting connector pipes, liner integrity, and ensuring smoke isn’t leaking into the living space especially after harsh winters.

Homeowner Education

What Every Ohio Homeowner Should Know

Your chimney might seem like a low-maintenance part of your home but ignoring it can lead to serious safety and structural issues. Here’s what you need to know.

Creosote Buildup Is the #1 Cause of Chimney Fires

Creosote is a sticky, flammable substance that builds up inside your flue every time you burn wood. Even if you only use your fireplace occasionally, creosote can still accumulate. Once it thickens, it can ignite with a single spark, leading to a fast-burning, high-heat chimney fire that can spread to your roof or attic in minutes. The best defense? Professional sweeping at least once a year.

Leaking Chimneys Cause Mold, Rot & Interior Damage

In Northeast Ohio, with its heavy rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles, moisture is a chimney's worst enemy. A cracked crown, missing cap, or deteriorating flashing can allow water to seep in leading to mold growth, ceiling stains, wall damage, and even rotted framing inside your home. These problems are often invisible until they're severe. Our team can spot and stop leaks early, before repairs get expensive.

Carbon Monoxide Can Enter Through a Damaged Liner

Gas-burning fireplaces and appliances rely on a proper flue liner to vent exhaust safely. If your liner is cracked, deteriorated, or missing, it can allow deadly carbon monoxide to leak into your home without warning. Symptoms of CO poisoning include headaches, fatigue, and dizziness but it can be fatal if undetected. A quick chimney inspection can catch liner issues before they become life-threatening.

The NFPA Recommends Annual Chimney Inspections

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends having your chimney inspected at least once per year regardless of how often you use it. Why? Because issues like creosote, liner cracks, and moisture damage can develop silently and quickly. A simple, low-cost inspection can provide peace of mind, prevent major repairs, and keep your family safe.

If Your Home Is 10+ Years Old, You're Overdue

Many chimneys in the Akron-Canton area were built decades ago and have never been properly serviced. If your home is more than 10 years old or if you're unsure of the last inspection it's time to get checked. For just $49, Oak Tree Solution will thoroughly inspect your chimney and give you a full safety report.
