Why Lebanon Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co.
We’ve cleaned chimneys on Mechanic Street homes from the 1840s and on mid-century ranches off State Route 48. That range matters. A technician who only knows one era of construction will miss what aging masonry hides.
Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict - documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman. No vague hand-waving about “safety concerns.” We show you the crack, the glaze, the gap in the flue tile, and we tell you what it means in dollars and priority.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise governs every job: in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. We’ve operated this way for over 42 years, and we plan to be in Warren County in thirty more. That changes how you treat a customer.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Most jobs finish in one visit. The price we quote is the price on the invoice - a square deal, no surprises on the bill.
Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Lebanon
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
We remove creosote, soot, and obstructions from wood-burning and gas flues using professional-grade brushes and vacuums. In Lebanon’s historic district, where one chimney stack often feeds three or four separate flues, we map and clean each independently so nothing gets skipped. Learn more about our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Lebanon.
Chimney Repair
Freeze-thaw damage from Southwest Ohio winters cracks mortar and spalls brick on Lebanon’s older masonry. We repoint joints, rebuild crowns, and restore structural integrity using materials matched to your chimney’s era. Learn more about our Chimney Repair in Lebanon.
Fireplace Services
Firebox refractory panel replacement, damper repair, and smoke-chamber parging for safer, more efficient burns. We work on everything from original Rumford fireplaces in Federal homes to prefab units in 1970s ranch conversions. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Lebanon.
Chimney Cap & Crown Installation
A proper crown sheds water. A proper cap keeps out birds, squirrels, and debris. We fabricate and install crowns and caps that fit your flue configuration, using Gelco and Famco hardware sized for single or multi-flue stacks.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild
Many Lebanon homes built before 1900 have unlined chimneys or original clay liners now at end-of-life. We install stainless steel liners from Olympia Chimney and HeatShield resurfacing systems where appropriate, bringing historic masonry up to modern safety standards without destroying its character.

Why Lebanon’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
Lebanon sits in a pocket of Southwest Ohio where January and February temperatures hover cruelly near 32°F, cycling above and below freezing day after day. That rhythm is murder on mortar. Water seeps into hairline cracks, expands when it freezes, and widens the gap for the next cycle. By March, a joint that looked sound in October has opened enough to let flue gases leak into wall cavities.
Most of Lebanon’s housing stock predates modern flue-liner standards. The pre-Civil War homes along Broadway and Mechanic Street were built with single-wythe brick or locally quarried limestone, and their chimneys were designed to serve multiple fireplaces from one stack - sometimes three or four flues running parallel, separated by thin parging that degrades with age. A homeowner who cleans “the living room flue” every November may leave a bedroom or kitchen flue untouched for a decade, unaware that creosote is glazing hard and corrosive condensation is eating at the interior masonry.
Wood-burning remains common in Warren County’s older homes and rural properties, so the creosote we remove is real accumulation, not the light dusting you find in a gas-only household. Annual cleaning isn’t precautionary here. It’s maintenance on a working system under genuine load.

FAQs About Chimney Cleaning in Lebanon
A standard single-flue sweep runs $189-$249, while multi-flue historic stacks common in Lebanon’s 19th-century homes range $239-$349. The exact price depends on flue count, accessibility, and creosote condition. Call (844) 803-1545 for a free estimate - we’ll give you the number that appears on the invoice.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection, with cleaning as needed. In Lebanon, where wood-burning is common and many chimneys serve multiple flues without modern liners, we advise annual sweeping for active wood-burning systems and at minimum biennial inspection for gas or rarely used fireplaces. Call us to schedule - we’ll tell you honestly if your system can wait.
Lebanon’s pre-Civil War homes often have unlined or single-wythe masonry chimneys serving three or four flues from one stack, a design standard from the 1800s that predates modern safety codes. Each flue must be mapped and cleaned independently, and the thin separating walls between flues degrade with age. We’ve found active wood-stove flues left uncleaned for years because homeowners didn’t realize they were separate from the fireplace flue. Call (844) 803-1545 and we’ll survey your complete stack.
During peak season (September through January), we typically book 24-48 hours out. Off-season calls often schedule same-day or next-day. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - no voicemail, no callback queue - so you’ll know immediately what we have available.
For most historic chimneys in Lebanon’s 45036 ZIP code, targeted repair - repointing mortar, rebuilding the crown, installing a stainless steel liner - preserves the structure at roughly one-third to one-half the cost of full rebuild while maintaining the home’s architectural integrity. We document the condition with camera inspection photos and give you a plain-English verdict with actual numbers. Call (844) 803-1545 for a free second opinion if you’ve been told you need a full rebuild.
