We’re based in Los Angeles, but we’ve built our reputation in Kansas by showing up when we say we will and documenting every job with photos the homeowner can see. Andover’s winters are real - ice storms, hard freezes, and wind sweeping across the Flint Hills - and a chimney that looks fine in October can be a liability by January. That’s why we treat every inspection as if our own family were sleeping in the house.

Why Andover Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co.
We’ve been in business since 1984, and the difference between a company that plans to be here in thirty years and one that doesn’t shows up in the details. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to complete most jobs in a single visit. We use professional-grade materials from brands like HeatShield and Olympia Chimney - no builder-grade substitutes that fail after two seasons.
Our home is built on the K.E.Y.S. values code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 90-Day Done Right Promise governs every job we do in Andover. If it’s not right, we make it right - in writing, no arguing, no paperwork chase. We’ve honored that promise for over 42 years.
Homeowners in Cottonwood Crossing and the older streets near Andover Road know our trucks. They also know that when they call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers - not a voicemail, not a callback queue, not an app. That matters when you smell smoke in the living room or notice bricks crumbling after a freeze-thaw cycle.
Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Andover
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
Our standard sweep removes creosote, soot, and obstructions from the flue, followed by a visual inspection of accessible components. We finish with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict on what needs attention now, what can wait, and what to watch. Learn more about our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Andover.

Chimney Repair
From tuckpointing eroded mortar joints to rebuilding fire-damaged structures, we repair masonry and prefabricated chimneys using materials rated for Kansas temperature swings. Our estimates are upfront - the number you hear is the number on the invoice. Learn more about our Chimney Repair in Andover.

Fireplace Services
We service gas inserts, wood-burning units, and direct-vent systems, checking gas lines, thermocouples, and draft performance. Andover’s older homes near Central and Kellogg often have original masonry fireplaces that need careful evaluation before any burning season. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Andover.

Chimney Cap & Crown Installation
A proper cap stops rain, animals, and debris; a sound crown sheds water away from the masonry below. We fabricate and install caps from Gelco and Famco materials, sized to your flue and roofline. Many Andover homes we inspect have cracked crowns that have been leaking for years, silently destroying the chimney from the top down.

Chimney Liner & Rebuild
When a flue liner is cracked, glazed, or improperly sized, combustion gases can reach the home’s framing. We install stainless steel and relining systems using DuraFlex and other professional-grade products, with full documentation of before-and-after condition.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Andover
We work across Andover and the surrounding 67002 ZIP code, with same-day and next-day availability for most calls. These are the neighborhoods where you’ll most often see our trucks:
- Cottonwood Crossing - newer construction with prefab fireplaces needing cap and liner checks
- Stoney Brook - established homes with original masonry chimneys showing age
- Andover Central area - mixed housing stock near the high school, frequent service calls
- Old Andover near Main Street - historic homes requiring careful, documented inspection
Most Andover appointments are scheduled within 24-48 hours of your call.
Why Andover’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
Andover sits at the edge of the Flint Hills, where continental weather patterns deliver sharp temperature swings and wind that drives rain sideways into chimney crowns. The 67002 area sees an average of 15-20 freeze-thaw cycles each winter, and every cycle expands water trapped in masonry cracks a little further. A chimney that looks sound in September can have spalled bricks and deteriorated mortar by March.
The housing stock compounds this. Much of Andover was built during the 1980s and 1990s growth waves, with a significant number of homes from the 1950s-1970s still standing near the original town center. Those older masonry chimneys were constructed with materials and methods that assumed more regular use than modern homeowners typically give them. An unused chimney doesn’t “air out” properly; moisture accumulates, liners corrode or crack unnoticed, and small animals find entry points that a burning fire would have discouraged.
We’ve also found that Andover’s position in the Wichita metro means homeowners often assume city services cover chimney inspection - they don’t. Your chimney is your responsibility from the roofline up, and the building department won’t flag deterioration until it’s visible from the street or causing active damage inside. That’s why we recommend a documented Level-2 camera inspection every two to three years, with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict you can file with your homeowner’s insurance.
