Tyler Acevedo Chimney Inc provides chimney sweep services in Hugo, including creosote removal & deep cleaning, chimney liner inspection & repair, masonry & brickwork restoration, and more. Every job is handled by licensed, insured technicians with upfront written pricing, and backed by a workmanship guarantee, with free estimates for all of Hugo and nearby areas.
Older homes in Hugo often have chimneys with uneven brickwork or cracked mortar, which traps creosote deeper than a standard sweep can reach. Our team doesn’t just run a brush through the flue; we inspect the entire system for hidden buildup, especially in corners and behind rusted liners. Creosote isn’t just a fire risk, it’s corrosive, eating away at your masonry over time. We’ll show you exactly where the buildup is worst and how to prevent it next season. No shortcuts, just a clean that protects your investment.
Call about this serviceMany Hugo homes built before the 1970s still have original clay or metal liners that weren’t designed for today’s high-efficiency fireplaces. We use a camera scope to check for rust spots, loose joints, or cracks that let smoke back into your home. If your liner’s failing, we don’t just patch it, we recommend the right upgrade for your setup, whether that’s a stainless-steel liner or a full relining. Ignoring a bad liner isn’t just a safety issue; it can ruin your brickwork faster than Hugo’s freeze-thaw cycles already do.
Call about this serviceHugo’s older neighborhoods have chimneys with bricks that’ve been through decades of snowmelt seeping into mortar and freezing overnight. We don’t just sweep, we check for soft bricks, crumbling mortar, and water stains that mean your chimney’s letting in moisture. A small crack can turn into a major repair if left alone, especially after a heavy rain or when the lake-effect snow hits. Our team repoints mortar, tucks bricks back into place, and applies waterproof sealant to extend the life of your chimney. Think of it as a tune-up for your home’s most exposed structure.
Call about this serviceSome Hugo homeowners assume their fireplace works fine because the smoke goes up, but what if it’s just barely making it out? We test your venting system to ensure it’s sized correctly for your stove or insert, especially in older homes where the original chimney might be too narrow. A blocked vent or improper connection can cause carbon monoxide buildup or force smoke into your living room. We’ll check your damper, smoke chamber, and the connection points for gaps or rust. If your setup needs adjustments, we’ll explain your options without upselling unnecessary work.
Call about this serviceYou might not smell smoke, but that doesn’t mean it’s not seeping into your home. Older chimneys in Hugo often have gaps around the liner or cracks in the masonry that let carbon monoxide and fine particles into your living space. We use a smoke puff test to find hidden leaks, then seal them with high-temperature mortar or flexible sealants. This isn’t just about comfort, it’s about making sure your fireplace isn’t slowly poisoning your family. We’ll also check your carbon monoxide detector’s placement, since Hugo’s older homes sometimes have dead zones where alarms won’t trigger.
