Masonry Chimney Repair

Brick and mortar chimneys can show wear and tear as the mortar and bricks break down.  Although stone holds up better, stones do break down as well.  If just the mortar needs to be replaced we can tuck point the masonry.  We can remove the mortar around damaged bricks and stones so that they can be replaced, and replace the surrounding mortar.  Call us today for a for a free quote!​

Waterproofing

Allowing water to penetrate the mortar, brick and stone can reduce the life of your masonry chimney.  During the hash Midwest winters, any amount of water can go through several freeze/thaw cycles.  This causes cracks in the material, and leads to more water and more damage.  Call us today to waterproof your chimney.

Cap and Crown Replacement

Chimney caps keep water, animals and debris out of your chimney, while letting flue gasses out.  The crown is generally reinforced cement placed atop the masonry structure and around the flue.  Many times a cap and crown can simply be repaired or waterproofed.  Other times, one or both may need to be replaced.  Just give us a call, and we’ll inspect your cap and crown, providing photos, along with a quote for any recommended repairs.

Flashing Replacement

The purpose of your roof is to prevent water from penetrating into the structure of your home.  If flashing around your chimney is not installed properly, water can penetrate the roofline, leaving water stains around the ceiling near your fireplace, or damaging the underlying structure.  We can inspect and replace flashing so that your home’s roofline remains impenetrable.  

Flue Liner Installation

The flue liner is the tube that carries smoke, carbon monoxide, and other exhaust gasses from your fireplace to the outdoors.  It also protects your home’s structure from extreme heat that can damage or ignite the materials surrounding the chimney.  Older homes may not have a flue liner, or the flue liner may be worn and damaged.  Call us for a free inspection to make sure your flue liner is in proper condition.
