What is Chimney Repair?

A chimney is one of the essential components of a building's structure, and it plays a crucial role in the ventilation of your home. The chimney extracts smoke and gases from your fireplace or heating system, and it keeps your home safe from dangerous gases like carbon monoxide. However, over time, the chimney can become damaged, leading to a range of problems, including:

• Water damage
• Cracks
• Loose bricks
• Blocked chimney flue
• Damaged mortar
• Structural issues

Without regular maintenance and repairs, the chimney's damage can spread throughout your home, leading to more expensive repairs or even the need for a complete rebuild. That's why it's crucial to have your chimney inspected regularly and repaired as soon as possible if any issues are detected.

Repointing

Repointing involves repairing the mortar joints between the bricks of your chimney. Over time, the mortar can erode, leading to gaps that allow water to enter your chimney. Repointing involves removing the old mortar and replacing it with new mortar, ensuring that your chimney is well-sealed against water.

Structural Chimney Repairs

Structural issues can occur when the chimney's foundation is weakened or damaged. This type of damage can lead to further problems like leaning or chimney collapse. We use our expertise to identify structural issues and provide a lasting solution.
