Chimney Repair & Sweep in Arnold, MO
Jefferson County · Mostly 1955–1985 ranches, with newer subdivisions west
Arnold is where Jefferson County meets St. Louis County, and most of it went up between the mid-1950s and the mid-1980s as brick and frame ranches. Those houses were built with one masonry chimney doing two jobs: venting the fireplace, and venting the furnace or the water heater alongside it. Almost every one of those furnaces has since been replaced, and modern high-efficiency units vent sideways through a plastic pipe in the wall instead. That leaves the old flue running at a fraction of the heat it was sized for, which is the single most common thing we find wrong on an Arnold chimney — a flue that is now far too large for whatever is still connected to it, cooling flue gases until they condense and eat the liner from the inside.

Why Greater St. Louis chimneys take such a beating
St. Louis runs through roughly 40 to 50 freeze-thaw cycles a year. Water soaks into brick and mortar, freezes, expands, and splits it apart. This is the single biggest cause of chimney damage in the region.
Most requested in Arnold
Chimney Relining
Relining means fitting a new liner inside the existing chimney so combustion gases have a sealed, correctly sized path out of the house. It is the fix when the clay tiles have cracked, when the flue was never lined at all, or when a new appliance needs a different sized flue than the one the chimney was built with.
