About Us

Bringing the Latest Safety Innovations to Your Doorstep — That’s What We Do, Every Day.

Union St. Augustine Chimney & Dryer Vent Pros isn’t a company that settled on a method years ago and stopped evolving. We actively pursue better approaches, newer materials, and more effective techniques — because your home deserves the best that the industry currently has to offer, not what was considered acceptable a decade ago.

Our Story : 

Union St. Augustine Chimney & Dryer Vent Pros was founded with a deliberate focus on progressive, knowledge-driven chimney and dryer vent service for the St. Augustine community. We recognized that too many homeowners in St. Johns County were receiving services based on outdated practices — repointing with the wrong mortar formulations, vent installations that didn’t account for current appliance requirements, odor treatments that covered symptoms without addressing causes. The outcomes weren’t just unsatisfying — in some cases, they were actively counterproductive.

We built this company to do better. That meant investing in training, staying current with NFPA updates and industry research, sourcing the right materials rather than the cheapest available, and building a team culture that treats quality as non-negotiable. It also meant being honest with customers about what their chimneys actually need — even when the honest answer is less profitable than the alternative.

From our location at 1701 Lakeside Ave #3 in St. Augustine, we serve the wider St. Johns County area with services that reflect the current state of chimney science and safety standards — delivered within a 3 to 4 hour service window by people who genuinely know what they’re doing.

Our Mission :

Our mission is to provide St. Augustine homeowners with chimney and dryer vent services that represent the current best in the industry — performed with transparency, technical accuracy, and a genuine commitment to long-term outcomes over short-term convenience.

We believe that the people who live in this community deserve to have their homes maintained by professionals who take the work seriously enough to keep learning, keep improving, and keep applying new knowledge where it produces better results. That’s not an extraordinary standard — it should be the baseline. But in our industry, it’s rarer than it ought to be, and we’re proud to represent it.

What Makes Us Different

Our technicians are continuously updated on industry developments. When new mortar formulations emerge that better match the thermal properties of historic masonry, we learn them and use them. When updated ventilation standards change the recommended approch to vent installation, we adjust. When advances in odor diagnosis allow for more accurate identification of root causes, we incorporate them.

That commitment to staying current isn’t just a differentiator — it’s the reason our work holds up. Chimney repointing done with the wrong mortar fails prematurely, often within a few years. Vent installations that don’t account for current appliance specifications create performance and safety issues. Odor treatments that don’t identify the source produce repeat calls for the same problem. We avoid all of these outcomes by doing the work correctly the first time — using current best practices from start to finish.

Our Values :

Continuous Learning The industry evolves, and so do we. Our team is committed to staying current with developments in chimney safety, materials science, and service methodology — and applying that knowledge on every job.

Transparency in Process We explain what we’re doing and why at every stage. You’ll never wonder what’s happening in your chimney or why we’ve made a particular recommendation. Clear communication is part of the service.

Long-Term Thinking We make decisions based on what’s genuinely best for your chimney’s long-term performance and safety — not what’s fastest or most convenient in the moment. The results we deliver are ment to last.

Chimney Repointing

Mortar joints are among the most vulnerable parts of any masonry chimney. Exposed to the full range of Florida's weather — driving rain, thermal expansion from intense sun, and the persistent humidity that defines the region's climate — the mortar that holds a chimney's bricks together gradually erodes, cracks, and recedes. As it does, it creates pathways for water to penetrate deep into the chimney structure, accelerating deterioration in the bricks themselves, the flue liner, and the internal components. Left unaddressed, deteriorated mortar joints are a leading driver of costly structural chimney damage. Chimney repointing — also known as tuckpointing — is the process of removing the deteriorated mortar from the joints to a sufficient depth and replacing it with fresh, properly formulated mortar. It sounds straightforward, but the quality of a repointing job depends critically on getting two things right: the depth of removal and the mortar specification. Removing mortar to an insufficient depth means the new mortar won't achieve proper mechanical adhesion and will fail prematurely — often within two to three seasons. Using a mortar that's harder than the brick (a common error when modern Portland cement mortars are used on older masonry) means thermal expansion forces will crack the brick rather than the sacrificial mortar joint — the exact opposite of what proper masonry design intends. At Union St. Augustine Chimney & Dryer Vent Pros, we approach every repointing project with attention to both of these factors. We assess the existing mortar composition, match the replacement mortar to the structural requirements and age of the chimney, and remove material to the correct depth before application. The result is a repointed chimney that performs as it should — not one that looks repaired but fails again within a few years. On-site within 3 to 4 hours, anywhere in St. Johns County.

Chimney Vent Installation

A chimney vent installation done correctly is invisible in its success — the appliance draws properly, combustion gases are safely expelled, and the system performs efficiently and safely for years. Done incorrectly, it creates a cascade of problems: poor draft, backdrafting that pushes combustion gases into the living space, condensation in the flue, accelerated liner corrosion, and in serious cases, carbon monoxide exposure. Union St. Augustine Chimney & Dryer Vent Pros provides chimney vent installation services designed around current ventilation engineering standards and appliance manufacturer requirements. Whether you're installing a new vent system for a gas appliance, adding a dedicated vent line for a dryer or range hood, or configuring a shared flue system, we approach each project with the specific technical requirements of your setup — not a generic installation template. The process begins with a proper assessment of the appliance's venting requirements, the available flue pathway, and the structural characteristics of the existing chimney or wall penetration. We size the vent correctly for the appliance's BTU output and flue gas temperature, select appropriate vent materials for the fuel type and application, and ensure all connections are secure, sealed, and code-compliant. Every installation concludes with a full operational test to confirm proper draft and safe gas clearance before we consider the job complete. We're familiar with both the NFPA standards governing residential chimney and vent installations and the specific requirements of the St. Johns County building environment. Our installations hold up to inspection, hold up to use, and hold up over time — because they're built correctly from the start. Available within our 3 to 4 hour service window.

Chimney Odor Removal

Chimney odors are among the most persistent and frustrating issues homeowners encounter — and one of the most frequently misdiagnosed. The smell of creosote or smoke entering a room, musty damp odors during rainy periods, or the unpleasant scent of organic decomposition can all originate in the chimney system — but each has a different root cause and requires a different approach to resolve. At Union St. Augustine Chimney & Dryer Vent Pros, our chimney odor removal service begins with proper diagnostic work. We don't apply deodorizing treatments before we understand where the odor is coming from and why it's entering the living space. The most common culprits include creosote deposits that become volatile in heat or humidity, moisture intrusion that creates conditions for mold or organic growth within the flue, negative air pressure in the home that draws air down the chimney rather than up, animal or bird nesting material decomposing in the flue, and deteriorated or absent chimney caps that allow outdoor odors to channel directly into the home. Each of these causes requires a targeted response. Creosote-related odors require professional cleaning and, in some cases, a sealing treatment to the liner. Moisture-driven odors require waterproofing and, if mold is present, appropriate remediation before the chimney is returned to service. Negative air pressure issues require changes to the home's ventilation balance — not just chimney treatments. Nesting material requires clearing and the installation of a proper cap or excluder to prevent recurrence. We identify the actual cause, address it directly, and explain to you what we found and what we did — so the problem doesn't simply return next season. If you've been dealing with chimney odors that keep coming back despite previous treatments, chances are the root cause was never properly addressed. We'll find it, and we'll fix it — within our 3 to 4 hour service window, right here in St. Augustine.

Freqently Asked Questions

Q: What does your 3 to 4 hour service window mean exactly?

A: It means a trained technician will be at your property within 3 to 4 hours of your confirmed booking. We use that window to ensure we arrive properly prepared — with the right equipment for the specific service you’ve requested. It’s not a guess or an average; it’s a commitment we structure our operations around.

A: Common signs include visible gaps or receding mortar between bricks, white staining on the exterior masonry (called efflorescence), loose or spalling bricks, or water entering the chimney after rain. If you notice any of these, it’s worth having an assessment done. Catching deteriorated joints early means a straightforward repointing job — waiting too long can mean replacing bricks or addressing internal water damage.

A: Recurring chimney odors usually mean the root cause was never properly identified or addressed. The smell might originate from creosote deposits, moisture and mold growth in the flue, animal nesting material, negative air pressure pulling air down the chimney, or a missing or damaged cap. Each cause requires a different treatment — which is why we always diagnose before we apply any odor solution. A surface treatment applied to the wrong problem will give temporary relief at best.

A: We size vents correctly for the specific appliance’s output, select materials appropriate to the fuel type and flue gas temperature, and ensure full code compliance throughout. A vent that’s undersized, made of the wrong material, or incorrectly connected creates performance and safety issues that might not be immediately obvious — but will surface over time. We follow current NFPA standards and manufacturer specifications precisely, and we test the system fully before we leave.

A: Yes — in some ways, a long-unused chimney carries its own set of risks. Dampness can accumulate, mortar can deteriorate, animals can nest in the flue without your knowledge, and the cap or crown may have degraded. Before using an inactive chimney or fireplace again, an inspection is strongly recommended. We can assess the current condition and advise on any work needed before the system is safely brought back into use.

A: No — repointing is the targeted removal and replacement of deteriorated mortar joints in an otherwise structurally sound chimney. Rebuilding involves dismantling and reconstructing sections of the chimney itself, typically where brick damage is extensive. We assess the condition of both the mortar and the masonry when we visit, and recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective path forward for your specific situation.

A: In some circumstances, yes. Creosote vapours, carbon monoxide from a blocked or deteriorated flue, and mold from moisture intrusion can all have health implications. If you’re noticing persistent odors — particularly anything resembling smoke or a strong chemical smell — it’s worth getting it assessed promptly. We’d rather you call and find out it’s minor than delay and find out it wasn’t.

A: It depends on the extent of deterioration and the height and accessibility of the chimney. A standard residential chimney with moderate mortar joint wear can typically be repointed in a single visit. More extensive deterioration covering a large surface area may require a second session after the first application has cured properly. We’ll give you an accurate estimate during our initial assessment — no vague timelines.

A: We’re based at 1701 Lakeside Ave #3, St. Augustine, FL 32084 and serve the wider St. Johns County area. If you’re unsure whether your location is within our service range, give us a call and we’ll confirm right away.

A: Regular professional maintenance is the most effective long-term prevention. Annual inspections and cleanings catch creosote before it becomes a source of odor or fire risk. Proper waterproofing prevents moisture intrusion that leads to mold and damp smells. A correctly installed chimney cap prevents animal entry and reduces downdraft. We can advise on a maintanence schedule tailored to your chimney’s specific usage and condition after our initial visit.
