WHAT BROWN CHIMNEY HANDLES AROUND NOVI
THOROUGH INSPECTIONS

You can’t see every chimney issue from the ground. That’s why inspections in Novi homes are so important. We check everything from the crown down to the firebox and show you where the next issue might start.

We use cameras and draft tests to catch cracks or leaks early—before they turn into costly structural problems.

CLEAN AND SAFE WORK

We clean with HEPA vacuums that trap soot instead of spreading it around your home. The result? A cleaner flue and smoother draft when you light your next fire.

From older Novi homes to newer builds, every job comes with photos, a clear report, and work that passes inspection the first time.

RELIABLE REPAIRS AND CAPS

Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on brick and mortar. We tighten joints, rebuild crowns, and seal flashing so water stays out for good.

We also install chimney caps that fit tightly and protect against rain, debris, and animals—helping your system run more efficiently year-round.

SAFE INSTALLS AND REMOVALS

Installing a new fireplace or upgrading an old one? We install gas and wood systems that meet code and pass inspection.

If a chimney has reached the end of its life, we remove it safely and protect your roof throughout the entire process.

BUILT TO LAST

WORK THAT’S DONE RIGHT, NOT RUSHED
Our Novi crew handles it all: cleaning, tuckpointing, rebuilding, and full take-downs when a chimney can’t be saved. We also install gas or wood fireplaces, built to vent right and pass inspection. We work steadily. No mess in your house, no tools forgotten. When we’re done, you’ll see clear photos and a thorough report of our work.

BUILT BY LOCALS, FOR LOCALS
We’re not a call center or a rotating crew. The Brown Chimney teams fixing your roof are the same ones shoveling their own driveways through the same storms. Our repairs last because we’ve learned what fails here and what doesn’t.

What are the warning signs a chimney may need repair?

Common signs include cracked or loose brickwork, deteriorating mortar joints, water leaks near the fireplace, rusted components, strong odors, or smoke drafting back into the room.
Michigan’s seasonal freeze–thaw cycles can gradually weaken masonry, making early detection especially important.

Are pre-purchase chimney inspections available?

Yes. Chimney inspections are commonly requested during real estate transactions to identify structural concerns, liner damage, moisture intrusion, or safety hazards before closing.
A professional inspection can provide clarity on the system’s condition and help prevent unexpected repair costs after purchase.

Do chimney projects require local permits?

Routine chimney maintenance services such as cleaning and standard inspections typically do not require permits. However, structural repairs, full chimney rebuilds, or complete chimney removal may require approval depending on local building codes and the scope of work.
Before beginning any major structural project, requirements should always be verified to ensure full compliance with applicable regulations.

Can chimney damage lead to interior leaks?

Yes. Damaged flashing, cracked masonry, or missing caps can allow moisture to enter. Over time, this may lead to interior staining, mold growth, or structural deterioration if not addressed early.
