Common Chimney Issues We Address:
- Cracked or Missing Mortar (Tuckpointing): Deteriorated mortar joints allow water penetration and weaken the chimney structure.
- Spalling Bricks: Bricks flaking or popping off due to moisture absorption and freeze-thaw cycles.
- Damaged Chimney Crown: Cracks in the crown allow water to seep into the chimney, causing internal damage.
- Failing Chimney Liner: Cracked, crumbling, or absent liners are a serious safety hazard, allowing heat and exhaust gases to escape into your home.
- Water Leaks: Caused by faulty flashing, damaged crowns, or porous masonry, leading to interior water damage.
- Missing or Damaged Chimney Cap: Allows rain, snow, animals, and debris to enter the chimney.
- Smoke Chamber Issues: Rough or deteriorated smoke chambers hinder proper drafting and can be fire hazards.
- Flashing Repair/Replacement: Deteriorated or improperly installed flashing at the roofline can lead to severe water leaks.
- Animal Obstructions: Nests or debris blocking the flue can cause smoke to back up and pose fire risks.
