Chimney Masonry Repair
Why Chimney Masonry Repair is Essential
Your chimney plays a vital role in keeping your home safe and warm. Over time, the masonry components of your chimney can suffer wear and tear. Cracks, gaps, and other damages might appear, compromising the structural integrity and efficiency of your chimney. That's where we come in with our professional chimney masonry repair services.
Understanding Chimney Masonry Issues
Common Problems
- Cracks in the Bricks or Mortar Joints: Exposure to weather elements like rain, snow, and temperature changes can lead to cracking in the bricks or mortar joints of your chimney.
- Spalling: This occurs when the brick face starts to peel, pop out, or flake off due to water infiltration.
- Efflorescence: The unsightly white staining on your chimney is caused by soluble salts in the masonry being brought to the surface by moisture.
- Damaged Chimney Crown: The crown, which is the top part of the chimney, can crack and deteriorate, allowing water to seep in.
Signs You Need Masonry Repairs
- Visible cracks or gaps in the masonry.
- Leaning chimney structure.
- White staining (efflorescence).
- Chimney leaks or moisture damage inside your home.
