About this service

A top hatter chimney sweep inspection specifically evaluates the upper assembly of your chimney, including the cap, crown, and flashing. These components are responsible for keeping moisture out of your masonry. You should request this service if you see water stains near your ceiling or notice crumbling mortar at the top of the stack. Addressing these issues early prevents minor leaks from turning into expensive structural repairs for your roof and fireplace.
