Murrells Inlet’s older homes, particularly those near the marsh, face unique chimney challenges: high humidity accelerates creosote buildup, and shifting foundations crack brickwork. We’ve restored chimneys in this area where homeowners thought their ‘minor’ rust was just ‘moisture’—until a fire nearly destroyed their home. Our inspections include testing for carbon monoxide leaks, which are more common in Murrells Inlet’s damp climate. If your chimney has a clay liner, we’ll check for hairline cracks that let toxic gases into your living space. Pro tip: Murrells Inlet’s older homes often have ‘hidden’ dampers that rust shut—we’ve cleared them in under an hour, saving homeowners from a $1,000+ repair. Schedule your sweep before the next hurricane season.
