Keeping your chimney and fireplace maintained helps protect your property from potential fires. So, when you notice damage or strange smells, or it seems like things aren’t working like they used to, talk to the experts at Chimney.com. From structural repairs to new parts, we can do it all.
Chimney problems can lead to expensive repairs if you continue using your chimney without addressing the issues. We offer comprehensive repair services for your residential or commercial property, including:
We’ll strengthen your chimney’s structural integrity and refresh its aesthetics in the process with repointing. Chimney repointing involves repairing mortar joints by replacing anything that’s deteriorated with new mortar. We can provide chimney masonry repair as needed, too, and remove and replace old bricks.
Chimney flashing protects the area where the roof meets the chimney — the flashing directs water around the chimney and down the roof. In cases where the original flashing on your property is inadequate or has developed rust over time, we can install new flashing to secure your chimney. If the sealant around where the flashing meets the chimney has deteriorated, we can apply a new bead of silicone.
Traditional masonry chimneys have clay flue tiles that crack and shift over time. When these clay tiles crack and create gaps in the flue, it becomes unsafe for venting smoke and carbon monoxide. We’ll install flexible stainless steel liners that are UL-listed, meeting nationally recognized standards for safety and sustainability.
From chimney crown repair to new animal guards, we offer numerous services to strengthen your installation:
If you notice issues like soot buildup, odd smells or strange noises from your fireplace, reach out to us. We offer these fireplace repair services:
Cracked or damaged fireboxes require professional repairs. If you notice fallen bricks, cracked mortar, stains that indicate leaks or other concerns, reach out to us. An intact, functional firebox helps prevent the risk of fires.
Refractory panels are in the firebox of prefab fireplaces. Over time, heavy use of the fireplace causes these panels to crack, compromising the safety of the fireplace — underneath those panels are potentially combustible materials, and even the smallest crack is a fire hazard.
We can replace prefab panels or units in almost any location of your home or business. Our process for this fireplace repair is fast, reliable and always top-quality!
Traditional dampers are located between the firebox and the smoke chamber and are usually made of cast iron. Dampers are used to cut off airflow to and from the flue. Over time, traditional dampers deteriorate and can’t create a sufficient seal against downdraft.
We can repair this by installing a top-closing damper system. Top-closing dampers are more energy-efficient and add extra protection from water damage. We only use top-closing dampers constructed from stainless steel, a long-lasting material.
Smoke chambers are the open area directly above the firebox. The smoke chamber tapers, going up to where the flue starts to funnel smoke into the flue. Cracks in the mortar or any venting issues here call for professional repairs.
