Righteous Chimney & Masonry serves Northfield, OH — chimney sweeping, inspections, relining, repair, and brick masonry throughout Northfield Village and the Route 8 corridor, minutes from our Macedonia base.
Northfield is one of our closest service areas, just up Route 8 from our Macedonia shop. The village has a compact, older housing stock — a lot of homes built between the 1920s and the 1960s, most of them with full masonry chimneys that have been through many decades of Northeast Ohio winters.
That age is exactly where our work concentrates. Clay flue liners from that era crack and separate at the joints. Crowns that were poured thin have split. Mortar joints have weathered back far enough that water gets into the core of the stack. None of it is unusual for chimneys this old, and most of it is repairable without a full rebuild if it's caught before the damage reaches the structure.
Because Northfield sits along the Route 8 ridge, wind-driven rain is a bigger factor here than in more sheltered areas — which makes proper flashing, a correctly sized cap, and real waterproofing more important, not less. We inspect the whole system before recommending anything, and we put the quote in writing.
In Northfield, homeowners most often call us for chimney repair & rebuilds, chimney liners & relining, tuck pointing & repointing. Here's everything we offer locally:
Soot, ash, and creosote cleared — top to bottom.
Level 1 & 2 inspections — safety, real estate, and code.
Stainless-steel liners that protect the whole structure.

Common on Northfield's older housing: a camera inspection finds cracked and separated clay tiles letting combustion gases reach the surrounding masonry. The fix is a code-compliant stainless liner sized to the appliance, plus crown repair and waterproofing so the same water intrusion doesn't restart the process.

Another company tried to sell me a full chimney rebuild. Righteous came out, ran a camera inspection, showed me the actual flue, and said all I needed was a sweep and a new cap. Saved me thousands. This is who I'll call from now on.
Two roofers couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. Righteous found it was the chimney crown and flashing, rebuilt the crown, reflashed, and waterproofed it. Dry through the whole winter for the first time in years.
Our brick was crumbling at the joints. They repointed the whole chimney and a section of wall with mortar that actually matches the original. You can't tell where the new work starts. Craftsmanship you don't see much anymore.
Swept the chimney, inspected it, and walked me through everything with photos. Showed up on time, laid down drop cloths, left zero mess. Fair price, no upselling. Exactly how it should be done.
Often yes, but it needs to be inspected before you rely on it. Chimneys of that age commonly have cracked clay liners and deteriorated crowns. A Level 2 camera inspection tells you exactly what condition the flue is in rather than guessing from the ground.
Most of the time it can be repaired. A full rebuild is only necessary when the structure itself has failed. We'll show you photos of what we find and give you the honest answer — we don't sell rebuilds that aren't needed.
Very quickly — Northfield is minutes from our Macedonia base, so it's one of the fastest areas we serve for both scheduled work and urgent problems.
