Chimney Crown Repair

A chimney crown is designed to keep water away from the inside of the chimney stack. It is also meant to waterproof the chimney and stop moisture from leaking down into the chimney's structure causing water damage. If a chimney's crown becomes damaged it can lead to moisture seeping within the chimney causing the chimney's structure to crumble and deteriorate faster or even leading to water from snow and rain to leak down into the home causing the potential for water damage.

Chimney Leak Repair

In order to fix your chimney from leaking water into your home, you'll want to make sure that you waterproof your chimney. This will completely seal your chimney from anything outside.

A leaking chimney is always a major problem even if you only get a subtle warning that you need to do some minor chimney repairs. Common reason for chimney leaks are cracks in the masonry, deterioration in the chimney flashing, or cracks in the chimney crown.

Chimney Mortar Repair

This type of repair is necessary when the mortar that holds the bricks together starts to deteriorate, which causes structural integrity issues within the brick structure. The brick structure will be analyzed, specific sections of brick will be removed and new fresh mortar applied to add strength back to the brick structure.

Fire burns poorly or takes a while to start.

This is usually a result of poor air supply due to clogging or blockage. You need airflow to start a fire, so if there isn't a any airflow within your chimney flue it may be due to your chimney flue being damaged or dirty.

You detect bad odors when your fireplace isn’t in use.

This bad odor could be caused by a buildup of creosote on the interior walls of the chimney. This is what a chimney sweep will clean off when hired. When creosote builds up in your chimney, it could cause unwanted ignition, leading to fire hazards. So it's important to clean your chimney every year to make sure you're ready to burn fired throughout the winter.

Soot drops into the fireplace.

If this happens frequently, you need to get your chimney swept by a professional to avoid damage! If you're finding soot dropping into the fireplace that means there is a large amount of soot built up inside the chimney. Since soot is full of creosote which is flammable and harmful to inhale, any soot buildup in your chimney should be removed immediately.
