Chimney Pointing

When you look at your brick chimney and notice that the joints between the bricks are soft and crumbling, maybe even with pieces missing, the chimney needs repointing. This is a needed repair that when done in time can prevent more serious damage. Oftentimes only a portion of the chimney needs repointing while the remainder remains in good condition. Some photos of chimney repointing may be seen on our Masonry Page. After your chimney has been repointed, consider waterproofing it to help prevent the problem from recurring.

Chimney Rebuild

If your chimney is leaning or pulling away from your home, we can correct the situation for you. Remember, this is a repair that is best made when the temperature is suitable; so, don't wait until the dead of winter when you are threatened with the loss of heat! Please take a look at some of the chimneys which we have rebuilt. After your chimney has been rebuilt, consider waterproofing it to help prevent the problem from recurring.

Chimney Repair

If you notice minor cracks or loose bricks in your chimney, this is the time to make needed repairs rather than waiting for more serious damage to occur. We can repair damage before it gets worse and offer suggestions to prevent further deterioration of your chimney. After your chimney has been repaired, consider waterproofing it to help prevent the problem from recurring.

Flashing Repair

Chimney flashing is found at the base of a chimney which enters the roof. Quite frequently, the flashing is made of lead and thus is subject to being pulled away from the chimney. When this occurs, rain water is able to pass behind the flashing and seep into the space, usually an attic, just below the roof. When a chimney is repointed or rebuilt, the flashing is frequently repaired at the same time.
