Addressing Common Chimney Challenges

Bricks and Mortar Breakdown

First, we’ll talk about bricks and mortar. Over time, weather and neglect can lead to crumbling bricks or worn-out mortar, a problem as annoying as a fly at a picnic. Mortar works like the sticky glue holding your bricks together. When it wears down, water gets in, causing trouble like freeze-thaw damage.

Our skilled masons expertly remove the old mortar and replace it with a new mix using methods like tuckpointing. This makes your chimney stronger and restores its attractive look.

Cracked Crowns and Improper Caps

Imagine wearing a hat that’s cracked or doesn’t fit right—it sounds uncomfortable, right? Your chimney crown or cap acts like a hat, protecting your chimney from the weather. Cracks in the crown let water seep in, leading to possible damage. We fix this by repairing or replacing your crown to block water entry, keeping your chimney’s structure safe.
