Residential and Commercial
With the many structural aspects of a chimney, there are unfortunately things that can become compromised. Failures can be due to such things as settling, water, moisture and also a buildup of creosote – over time. Annual inspections are an important safeguard to uncover such things to repair them before they expand.
Chimney Caps
Chimney Caps deliver 3 important safety features – protection from Rain, Animals, and Sparks
Chimney Re-Lining
A chimney liner is a great first step in the protection and safety of you and your family as well as extending the life and structural integrity of your chimney.
Top-Sealing Dampers
Occasionally an existing damper cannot be repaired but we have a solution that puts a Top-Sealing damper at the top of the chimney. This can only be done on chimneys with ceramic tile lining
SAFETY – it’s all about safety
The National Fire Protection Code 211 recommends an annual Chimney inspection and with that, we add a full chimney-sweeping which is important for a thorough inspection. Virtually all fuels – but especially wood – has some degree of incomplete burning resulting in the creation of creosote which gets discharged along with the other elements of smoke. This creosote clings to the walls of your chimney as it rises up the shaft coating the wall over time and eating into the porous walls. Additionally and when enough of this element collects it is highly vulnerable to re-igniting causing a chimney fire which can then ignite other areas of your home.
Chimney Repair
Residential & Commercial
• 1. Spot Repointing
-
What it is: Only the visibly damaged or deteriorated mortar joints are ground out and refilled.
-
When used: For localized damage, often due to water exposure on just one side or area.
-
Pros: Cost-effective for small issues.
-
Cons: Not always a long-term solution if deterioration is widespread.
• 2. Full/Complete Repointing
-
What it is: All mortar joints on the chimney — or at least one full face — are removed and replaced.
-
When used: When mortar damage is extensive or the structure is older and showing widespread signs of wear.
-
Pros: Restores integrity and uniform appearance.
-
Cons: More expensive and labor-intensive.
• 3. Tuckpointing
-
What it is: A more precise, decorative method where two different colors of mortar are used to mimic the look of fine brickwork. One color matches the bricks; the other is a contrasting thin line to imitate tight joints.
-
When used: Often on historic or high-visibility chimneys for aesthetics.
-
Pros: Enhances appearance as well as function.
-
Cons: Much more labor-intensive; less common for basic repair jobs.
