Common Chimney Repairs
Chimney Relining
It is standard for all chimneys to have a lining along the flue. If there is significant damage you may need to replace the chimney liner which may mean cutting through the masonry. This is a labor-intensive project, which should be done by an experienced chimney professional to help ensure the masonry and other parts of the fireplace are properly repaired before it’s used again. Call us for a chimney relining repair.
Masonry Repairs
A chimney repair may be extensive and may call for some masonry work. Make sure it is done by a professional before using the fireplace. Otherwise it can be a major fire hazard. A professional will make sure this is done quickly and properly.
Chimney Caps and Dampers
Chimneys are exposed to the elements outdoors and have a lot of wear and tear. If the chimney cap or chimney damper is damaged by the weather or is showing signs of extreme wear and tear, it may be necessary to replace it for a new one. A professional can offer advice for what Chimney cap or chimney damper to use as well as handle the new chimney cap and chimney damper installation.
