Repair Cracked or Broken Masonry:
Masonry crowns at the top of the chimney prevent water from leaking through the top tier of bricks and between the bricks and tile liner sections which will damage your terra cota fireclay chimney flues and possibly cause damage to the ceilings or walls in your home. Broken bricks and cracked mortar joints are also a major cause of water damage to the ceilings and walls in your home.
Repair or replace the lead flashing:
At the base of your chimney between the roof and chimney there is a gap to allow for the expansion of wood and brick. The flashing that covers this area sometimes with age will deteriorate, leading to water damage to your walls or ceiling. We can fix this water leak with several options.
Repairing or Rebuilding Masonry Chimneys:
Deteriorated mortar joints or bricks can collapse into the chimney's flues and block the venting of burnt exhaust fuels, or fall from the roof and damage your property or cause an injury. We can rebuild chimneys to National Fire Protection Association Code Height. All Chimney Rebuilds have Chimney Saver Waterproofing applied to the exterior upon completion.
