Your Chimney Works Hard — Make Sure It's Safe

Your chimney is one of the hardest-working parts of your heating system — and one of the easiest to forget about. Creosote builds up with every fire, liner cracks go unnoticed, and caps deteriorate through harsh Montana winters. By the time you notice a problem, it's usually bigger and more expensive than it needed to be.

That's why regular chimney maintenance isn't optional in Southwest Montana. It's how you keep your family safe.

At Perry's Fireplace & Stove, we've been servicing chimneys across the Butte–Helena corridor since 1934. Our technicians are in-house employees — not subcontractors — and they know Montana chimneys inside and out. Whether you need a routine sweep, a full inspection, or structural repair work, we'll handle it right the first time.

What We Do

Chimney Sweeping

Creosote, soot, and debris accumulate every burning season. A professional sweep removes the buildup that causes chimney fires and restores proper draft. We recommend an annual sweep for any wood-burning fireplace or stove — and it's a good idea for gas appliances, too.

Chimney Inspection

We offer Level I and Level II inspections depending on your situation. Level I covers the accessible portions of your chimney and is recommended annually. Level II adds camera work inside the flue — required when buying or selling a home, changing fuel types, or after a chimney fire.

Chimney Repair

Cracked liners, deteriorated mortar joints, damaged crowns, and leaking flashing — we've seen it all and we fix it all. A small repair now prevents a major rebuild later. We'll assess the damage, explain your options, and get it done.

Chimney Cap Installation

A chimney cap keeps rain, snow, animals, and debris out of your flue. It's one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to protect your chimney from Montana's weather. We carry caps in standard and custom sizes, and installation is quick.

Why Regular Chimney Service Matters

Fire Safety

Creosote is the leading cause of chimney fires. A clean chimney is a safe chimney — and an annual sweep keeps your family protected.

Heating Efficiency

A blocked or dirty chimney reduces draft and makes your fireplace or stove work harder. Clean flues mean better heat output and lower fuel costs.

Prevent Costly Damage

Small issues — a hairline crack, a missing cap, a bit of water — become expensive problems fast. Catching them early saves you money.

Peace of Mind

When you know your chimney's been inspected and serviced by a professional, you can light every fire with confidence — all winter long.

Chimney Service FAQ

How often should I have my chimney swept?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual chimney inspection, and a sweep whenever there's significant creosote buildup. If you burn wood regularly in Southwest Montana — which most of our customers do — an annual sweep is the standard. Schedule your sweep today.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Southwest Montana?
A standard chimney sweep in the Butte–Helena area typically runs between $200 and $350, depending on the type of chimney, accessibility, and the level of buildup. We'll give you an honest assessment before we start any work — no hidden fees, no surprises.
What's included in a chimney inspection?
A Level I inspection covers the readily accessible portions of your chimney — firebox, damper, flue liner, and exterior. A Level II inspection adds camera work inside the flue and is required when buying or selling a home, changing fuel types, or after a chimney fire. We'll recommend the right level for your situation.
Do you repair chimney liners?
Yes. We repair and replace chimney liners, including clay tile, stainless steel, and cast-in-place liners. A damaged liner is a serious safety issue — if your inspection reveals cracks or deterioration, we'll walk you through the repair options and get it fixed.
How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
Common warning signs include white staining on the exterior (efflorescence), crumbling mortar joints, a damaged or missing chimney cap, water in the firebox, and a strong odor coming from the fireplace when it's not in use. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection before using your fireplace.
