Chimney Inspection and Assessment
Our expert technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your chimney, identifying any signs of damage or deterioration. We'll assess the condition of the brickwork, mortar, flashing, and chimney crown to provide you with a detailed report of our findings.
Chimney Crown Repair and Replacement
The chimney crown is the concrete slab at the top of your chimney. It protects the chimney from water damage. If it's cracked or damaged, water can seep into the chimney and cause significant problems. We offer expert chimney crown repair and replacement services to keep your chimney in top condition.
Chimney Flashing Repair and Replacement
Flashing is the metal material that seals the gap between your chimney and roof. Damaged or corroded flashing can allow water to enter your home, leading to leaks and structural damage. We provide professional flashing repair and replacement to ensure a watertight seal.
Chimney Brick and Mortar Repair
Over time, brick and mortar can deteriorate due to weather exposure and age. Cracks, spalling, and crumbling mortar can compromise the structural integrity of your chimney. Our skilled masons can repair or replace damaged brick and mortar, restoring your chimney to its original condition.
Tuckpointing Services
Tuckpointing is the process of removing damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar. This helps to restore the structural integrity of the chimney and prevent further deterioration. Our tuckpointing services will extend the life of your chimney and improve its appearance.
Chimney Liner Repair and Installation
The chimney liner protects your home from dangerous gases and heat. If the liner is damaged, it can create a fire hazard. We offer chimney liner repair and installation services to ensure your chimney is safe and efficient.
Common Chimney Problems and Why You Need Professional Repair
Many homeowners don't realize the importance of proper chimney maintenance until a problem arises. Ignoring chimney issues can lead to costly repairs and potentially dangerous situations. Here are some common problems that indicate you need professional chimney repair services.
Water Leaks
Water leaks are one of the most common chimney problems. They can be caused by damaged flashing, cracks in the chimney crown, or deteriorated brickwork. Water can seep into your home, causing damage to walls, ceilings, and floors. It can also damage the chimney itself, leading to further deterioration. Ignoring a water leak can eventually lead to mold growth and structural damage and may even require roof replacement if left unattended.
Cracked or Spalling Bricks
Cracks and spalling (where the surface of the brick breaks off) are signs of deterioration. They are often caused by freeze-thaw cycles, where water penetrates the brick and expands when it freezes. This can weaken the chimney's structure and eventually lead to collapse. Addressing cracked or spalling bricks promptly will prevent further damage and costly repairs and it might be a wise idea to schedule a roof inspection at the same time.
Damaged Flashing
Damaged or corroded flashing allows water to enter the gap between the chimney and roof. This can lead to leaks, rot, and structural damage. Replacing damaged flashing is essential to maintaining a watertight seal and protecting your home from the elements. If it's happening to the chimney flashing, we might also want to ensure that the general gutter installation is in proper shape.
Blocked Flue
A blocked flue can prevent smoke and gases from escaping your home, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning. Blockages can be caused by debris, bird nests, or creosote buildup. Regular chimney cleaning and inspection are essential to prevent blockages and ensure safe operation. We often find blockages stemming from animal nests. This can be avoided with regular roof maintenance.
Chimney Settling
Over the years, some home foundations can shift, resulting in severe cracking or leaning of the chimney, even to the point you might see a separation from the house. This can be an extremely serious issue if it is not immediately taken care of. We'll be able to assess and repair these foundational issues before they become too serious.
