Chimney Repair
If you suspect that your chimney is damaged, it's important to consult with a professional masonry contractor to assess the issue and recommend the appropriate repairs. Proper chimney maintenance can help to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of your home and family.
Chimney repairs are essential to maintain the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your chimney. Over time, various factors such as exposure to weather, wear and tear, and age can cause damage to your chimney. Ignoring these issues can lead to further damage, more expensive repairs, and even safety hazards. Common chimney repairs include repointing, crown repair, chimney liner replacement, damper repair or replacement, and chimney cap installation.
Repointing & Crown repair: This involves replacing damaged mortar joints, which can help to prevent water leaks and further damage to the chimney's structure. The chimney crown is the topmost part of the chimney, and it can become damaged due to exposure to the elements. Repairing or replacing the crown can help to prevent water infiltration and structural damage.

Chimney liner & Damper Repair/Replacement: The chimney liner is responsible for carrying smoke and other gasses out of the chimney. If it becomes damaged or deteriorated, it can pose a safety hazard. Replacing the liner can help to ensure the safety and efficiency of your chimney. The chimney damper helps to control the amount of air that enters the chimney. If it becomes damaged or stuck, it can affect the chimney's performance and energy efficiency.
A concrete chimney cap is a protective covering that sits on top of a masonry chimney. It is typically made of reinforced concrete and is designed to protect the chimney from the elements, such as rain, snow, and wind. The cap is usually sloped to allow water to run off, and it has an overhang to prevent water from running down the sides of the chimney. Concrete chimney caps can also help to prevent debris, animals, and insects from entering the chimney.
