Our brick masons are highly skilled at assessing the damage and determining the right amount of work needed - doing a complete chimney rebuild when only a couple of bricks are spalled is overkill and causes an unnecessary expense to the property owner when a simple brick repair would have sufficed. On the other hand, a seemingly simple refacing job of addressing spalling could run deeper, and depending on the existing water damage, may require the chimney to be torn down to below the flash to minimize the need for future repairs, which can be more costly in the long run.
B) Chimney lining repair: the inner lining of the chimney is called the flue. Cracks in any part of the flue can be a hazard to your home if you’re actively using your fireplace, which can allow heat into combustible parts of your home, creating a fire hazard. Certain flue lining materials are more susceptible to heat and stress, so should be regularly inspected.
C) Chimney crown replacement: the chimney cap or crown is what keeps environmental elements like leaves, twigs, dirt, and water from entering the chimney. Cracks in the crown warrant a replacement, otherwise water related problems may arise in the other areas of the chimney including the brick and mortar.
