If you are looking for chimney repair trust your fireplace with a chimney specialist.
Here at Brick and Stone Masonry we specialize in returning a deteriorating, unsafe chimney to full compliance quickly and economically. From the day your masonry chimney is built, it becomes structurally vulnerable due to the constant exposure of the elements. Not following through with preventative maintenance, mortar pulling away from the brick and time all play a factor in how your masonry chimney holds up.
Chimney Repair
Some people fail to realize that something as simple as a hairline crack in your chimney’s brick can easily grow into some serious damage. With an annual inspection you have a strong chance of catching a simple repair job before it turns into a major rebuild project. When we do a chimney inspection, we check your firebox and outside masonry from ground to the top of the chimney. Your chimney sits up there all alone without protection. Water and the elements can seep into your masonry and not only continue to leak into your home but freeze and crack even more. Usually if a few individual bricks are spalling or cracked we can tooth them out and replace them. However, once issues go untreated for any length of time and the majority of the bricks are compromised, your chimney structure needs to be rebuilt either from the roof line up or from the ground up.
New Chimney Build
