Every chimney inspection at Cockatoo Chimney Inc starts with a laser-focused safety audit. We check for creosote levels, structural integrity, and clearances to combustibles—critical in Midland’s older homes where decades of use may have masked unseen damage. Our Level 2 inspections include camera-assisted imaging to spot flue cracks or mortar gaps that could leak deadly carbon monoxide into your living space. We document findings in plain Midland terms, so you understand risks and repairs without industry jargon. Fast, transparent, and compliant with NC building codes, our inspections give you peace of mind before lighting your first fire of the season.

Our rotary brush system and HEPA vacuums remove every layer, from flaky Stage 1 to tarry Stage 3 deposits, without damaging your masonry. We target hotspots like offsets and smoke chambers where creosote hides thickest, especially in homes with older, unlined flues common in Midland’s historic neighborhoods. The result? A chimney that drafts cleanly, burns efficiently, and meets NFPA 211 standards for fire safety.

We seal flue joints, repair cracked liners, and install top-sealing dampers to cut CO intrusion by up to 90%. In Midland, where many homes rely on wood heat during winter power outages, we prioritize CO testing and detector placement as part of every service. Our team also checks for backdrafting, a common issue in tight, energy-efficient homes, and recommends solutions like draft inducers if needed. Safety isn’t optional—it’s built into every visit.

We repair damaged crowns, repoint mortar joints, and apply breathable waterproof sealants that repel water without trapping moisture inside. Our process includes pressure-washing to remove algae and moss before repairs, ensuring a clean surface for lasting adhesion. For chimneys showing signs of tilt or separation, we’ll recommend stabilization options to prevent collapse—a critical fix for Midland’s aging housing stock.

For Midland homes with inefficient masonry fireplaces, we offer energy-efficient inserts that convert wasted heat into usable warmth while cutting fuel costs by 30% or more. Upgrades include adjustable dampers, glass doors, and spark arrestors—all tailored to your home’s unique needs and aesthetic. We handle permits and inspections to ensure every upgrade is code-approved.
