Chimney & Fireplace Repair
The purpose of your chimney is two-fold. It must remove harmful byproducts created when fuel is burned, and it must carry excessive heat away from combustible items near the fire. Besides being cleaned and inspected each year, your chimney will also need occasional repairs to ensure that it is performing these functions properly.
A chimney flashing is used to seal and protects joints in a building from water penetration.
Tuck pointing restores the masonry mortar joints between your bricks to eliminate water intrusion, prevent structural compromise, and restores the integrity & aesthetic value of your chimney.
Firebox repointing and rebuilding
The firebox is the brick area where you build your fire; loose bricks and degraded mortar should be repaired
Mortar crown repair
The mortar crown is the concrete like surface at the top of your chimney that keeps water out of your flue; a cracked or broken mortar crown should be repaired immediately to avoid serious water damage
Damper Repair & Replacement
A damper closes the flue when you aren’t using the fireplace so heat doesn’t escape through the chimney
Flue repair
The flu is the internal part of the chimney that funnels exhaust from your fireplace to the outside; if it cracks, breaks, or is blocked by debris or creosote build up it is a safety hazard that needs to be repaired.
