A1 Remodel | General Contractors & Roofing in Green Bay, WI 54304

A clean, efficient fireplace creates proper draft, which helps expel corrosive combustion byproducts like creosote and acidic moisture up and out of the chimney. If these byproducts condense inside the flue, they can deteriorate the chimney flashing—the critical seal between your chimney and roof. In Green Bay's climate, compromised flashing is a major cause of leaks and roof deck rot. Our professional cleaning removes these damaging deposits, helping to protect the entire roof-chimney interface.

Absolutely. For a lasting repair, it's crucial to address the source of the moisture that caused the rot. Often, leaky chimney flashing is the culprit, which itself can be worsened by a dirty or damaged flue. Our chimney sweep service includes an inspection of the flashing condition from inside and out. By cleaning the flue and identifying flashing issues first, we ensure your roofing team can make a permanent repair to the decking, preventing the problem from recurring after your new roof is installed.

Yes. A neglected chimney is a leading source of whole-home moisture issues. Creosote buildup restricts airflow, causing smoke and excess moisture to back up into your home, raising indoor humidity. This moisture can seep into attic spaces and roof sheathing, exacerbating common local issues like wood rot around the chimney and roof decking. Our thorough fireplace cleaning removes this buildup, promoting proper ventilation to help keep your attic and roof structure dry, which is vital for preventing the costly roof deck rot we frequently see in the area.
