Fireplace & Chimney Repair
Your fireplace offers cozy warmth through the winter — but it can also be genuinely dangerous to your home and family. Cracked linings and deteriorating mortar are common problems that lead to health and fire hazards.
These problems are usually hidden from a casual glance, but a thorough inspection reveals them quickly. That’s why annual chimney inspections matter — with prompt repair, you can enjoy your fireplace safely for years to come.
First, inspect
An inspection is a simple, noninvasive visual assessment of the key elements of your fireplace and chimney. We check for cracks, deterioration, and other problems in the brick, mortar, and flashing, as well as the firebox and damper areas.
If problems are found, it’s important to address them promptly. Cracks, failing mortar, and weather-based damage only get worse the longer they’re left uncorrected.
Chimney repair is a job for professionals
Cracks and leaks can lead to house fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other dangerous situations — so it’s important to follow an inspection with all necessary repairs. Call us before starting any repointing or repair work on your own: something as simple as brick repointing can get wildly out of hand if you don’t know what you’re doing.
If the mortar in your chimney is eroding, it needs to be repointed. Mortar is essentially the glue holding the bricks in place — as it deteriorates, the bricks are no longer solidly held together, and the chimney can crumble or collapse. Missing or broken bricks should be replaced as well. Repointing and brick repair aren’t just cosmetic: they resolve chimney leaks and prevent further deterioration.
