Palmer & Contreras Chimney Corp provides chimney sweep services in Norris, including level 2 chimney inspection, creosote removal & flue cleaning, chimney cap installation, and more.

A Level 2 inspection goes beyond a basic sweep by using a camera to inspect every flue tile, crown, and joint for cracks, gaps, or hidden damage. In Norris, where older masonry and seasonal temperature swings stress chimneys, this isn’t optional—it’s the only way to spot a problem before it becomes a $5,000 repair. We document findings with photos and video so you see exactly what we see, no jargon, no surprises. Ideal for homes built before 1990 or any property changing hands in the last 12 months.
Request this service →Creosote builds up like tar in your flue, and in Norris’s damp climate, it grows faster than you’d think. Our rotary brush system and HEPA vacuums strip away every layer—even the stubborn stage-3 glaze that can ignite at 1,000°F. We leave zero residue, so when you light your first fire, you’re not just warm—you’re safe. Expect a 30–45 minute job for most Norris homes, and zero dust tracked through your living room.
Request this service →Norris’s squirrels, raccoons, and summer storms don’t care about your chimney—they’ll turn it into a nest or a waterfall. A custom stainless-steel cap blocks debris, animals, and rain while improving draft. We measure on-site to ensure a snug fit, and our caps come with a 20-year warranty against rust or cracking. Installation takes under an hour, and it’s the only chimney upgrade that pays for itself the first winter by preventing liner damage.
Request this service →Old mortar joints in Norris chimneys crumble faster than you’d expect, especially on north-facing walls that never see sun. We remove damaged mortar, tuck-point with Type-S mortar, and seal with a waterproof breathable coating that lets moisture escape without letting water in. Most Norris jobs finish in a single afternoon, and we guarantee the repair for two years—no callbacks.
Request this service →Ash, soot, and hidden creosote lurk in the smoke shelf and smoke chamber where most sweeps miss them. We disassemble the damper, vacuum the firebox, and brush the smoke chamber until it’s factory-clean. Norris homes with catalytic stoves or high-efficiency inserts need this service twice a year—once before heating season and once mid-winter to keep emissions low and efficiency high.
Request this service →A cracked crown lets water seep into the flue, freeze, and split tiles from the inside out. We rebuild damaged crowns with reinforced concrete, then apply a siloxane-based waterproofing that repels rain but lets vapor escape. Norris homeowners see a 30% drop in future masonry repairs after this upgrade, and we back it with a two-year warranty against leaks.
