Sergio Chimney Group In Barrington, RI

Rigorous NFPA-standard sweeping, diagnostic video surveys, and historic New England masonry restoration engineered for long-term hearth safety and performance.

Ten Core Specialties

Comprehensive Hearth Maintenance

Diagnostics & Clearing

Rotary Sweeping & Video Inspections

Dual-motor HEPA containment paired with mechanical rotary whip heads clears stage-three glazed creosote. We run continuous high-definition camera probes through each flue tile to document internal fractures.

Flue Restoration

Stainless Relining & Draft Diagnostics

Damaged clay tiles receive heavy-gauge UL-listed 316Ti stainless steel liners with thermal insulation wraps. We resolve back-puffing, pressure imbalances, and sluggish wood-stove drafts through exact pressure diagnostics.

Masonry Preservation

Tuckpointing, Crowns & Firebox Repointing

Coastal freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate historic mortar joints. We grind spalled mortar, hand-strike high-strength lime mortar, rebuild crumbling chimney crowns with elastomeric sealants, and repoint interior firebox refractory bricks.

Terminal Protection

Caps, Dampers & Flashing Reseals

Custom stainless steel and copper chimney caps prevent coastal wind-driven rain, sparks, and wildlife entry. We install energy-saving top-sealing throat dampers and counter-flash roof transitions with hand-soldered lead step flashing.

Internal Camera Survey

Dust-Free Rotary Sweep

Digital Report Delivery

We lay clean neoprene hall runners and triple-layer canvas tarps from your entryway directly to the firebox, sealing the entire hearth threshold.

Our technician guides a 360-degree rotating diagnostic camera up the entire flue shaft, inspecting every clay liner joint and smoke chamber wall.

High-volume HEPA filtration maintains continuous negative air pressure while motorized nylon whips strip combustible soot without releasing airborne dust into living spaces.

We review high-resolution internal photos on an iPad before leaving and email a comprehensive NFPA safety compliance report within twenty-four hours.
