Masonry Services
Moisture is on the biggest enemies to a chimney. No matter if your chimney crown is cracked or there is deterioration happening in any exterior part of the chimney, moisture can cause damage to the masonry, lining, firebox, damper, ceilings and walls in your home and more. That is why repairing your chimney is a priority.
Repairs
The top seal is usually originally put on as a cement wash. Sometimes it is a concrete splay, or even a crown. You will want to visit our crowns page for more information. Most often the top seal has been done incorrectly leading to more severe problems. A cap consists of a metal cover for the flue. Ideally it has spark arrestor mesh (which also keep animals out) and is made of a durable material like stainless steel or copper. You will want to visit our caps page for more information.
Water / Acid Damage
Water entering through the termination (cap or top seal) can cause breakage in the body from freeze expansion. At the top of the chimney this is often the cause of damage, however, lower in the body damage is usually caused from acid activity stemming from inside the flue and presenting on the surface!
We are well equipped to make repairs as slight as re-pointing, more involved like installing a crown, or quite involved like rebuilding portions depending on what your chimney needs. We can even start from scratch if want to start over too!
