Call 424-424-1579When Should You Hire a Professional for Chimney Repair?
Chimney repairs involve working at height, handling masonry, and ensuring fire safety code compliance. Professional chimney repair protects your home and maintains your insurance coverage.
Cracked or Damaged Chimney Crown
A cracked chimney crown allows water infiltration that causes freeze-thaw damage. Professional crown repair or replacement prevents costly structural damage.
Water Leaking Around Chimney or Into Fireplace
Chimney leaks can indicate failed flashing, crown damage, or masonry deterioration. Proper diagnosis requires professional inspection to identify the source.
Mortar Joints Crumbling or Missing (Tuckpointing)
Deteriorating mortar compromises structural integrity. Professional tuckpointing uses the correct mortar mix and technique to restore your chimney safely.
Spalling Bricks (Flaking or Crumbling)
Spalling indicates moisture damage and structural weakening. Professional assessment determines whether repair or partial rebuild is needed.
Cracked or Damaged Flue Liner
A damaged flue liner is a fire hazard. Professional chimney relining with stainless steel or cast-in-place liner restores safety and code compliance.
Chimney Leaning or Separating from House
Structural movement indicates foundation issues or deteriorated mortar. This requires immediate professional evaluation to prevent collapse.
