We solve any issue
Our Chimney and Fireplace Repair Service is intended to solve any issue that may arise including Cracked and Deteriorated Brick or Mortar, Birds Nests, Soot or Creosote (oily substance derived from burning wood) Build Up, Lightning Damage, Water Leaks, or Smoking Problems (Often caused by improper dimensions of the firebox), Deterioration of other Materials, and Damages Associated to Deteriorated Materials.
Cracked mortar should be repaired by carefully chiseling out cracked areas and tuck pointing with fireclay and portland cement.
It should never be surface-coated or smeared because it will not bond with a dirty smoky surface.
If broken bricks are found (typically a back wall will last 15-25 years) it is advisable to rebuild the affected wall with new fireclay and firebrick.
It is important to keep the walls free of creosote, build-up since it can ignite, and any cracks should be repaired promptly.
Very few residential masonry workers are qualified to build an efficient and safe fireplace these days, repairs are often needed.
A poorly repaired chimney will not prevent water from entering into the chimney.
Deteriorated and exposed mortar joints are vulnerable to leakage. Water Infiltration in a chimney can cause countless problems.
A quality chimney cap and crown can prevent this. When water entering the flue mixes with creosote it turns acidic, causing premature rusting of the damper, contributing to deterioration of the brick and mortar.
Leaks can be frustrating to diagnose and can cause water damage to ceiling and flooring materials adjacent to the fireplace.
