There are several reasons you may need chimney repair services. Let’s take a look at some of the most common repair services we provide.
Masonry Repair & Rebuild
Given the geographical location of Connecticut, homes are subject to varying weather conditions throughout the year. Rain, heavy snow and sleet, and strong winds can do a number on chimneys. Overtime, these elements can cause damage to a homeowner’s chimney. One significant cause of damage in the northeast is freezing and thawing cycles. If your chimney even has a hairline fracture, water can get in and temperatures can drop causing the water inside that crack to freeze. Once the water defrosts, it takes pressure off your chimney structure. This repeated pattern can lead to more substantial cracks and, ultimately, require masonry repair or rebuilding services.
Our chimney professionals can repair cracks if they’re found early. If not, larger repair efforts may be necessary. Some repairs may require rebuilding. Regardless of the size of the issue, our team can come up with a solution right for your home.
Chimney Liner Repair
Chimney liners play an important role for your chimney. Not only do they help vent smoke and toxic gas out of your home, they also prevent damage to the bricks and protect you from house fires. Smoky fires are a sign that your chimney liner may be in need of replacing. Any cracks, blockages, or deterioration can be caught at your annual inspection and fixed.
Flashing Repair
Flashing is found on the roof of your home. It connects your chimney and roof while creating a watertight seal. Flashing is custom fitted and installed to direct water away from your chimney. When chimney flashing is loose or damaged, you may notice leakage inside your home. This can cause a musty smell, wood rot, mold, or even damage to your walls. If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call the professionals. If leaks are ignored, it could lead to extensive water damage.
Waterproofing
Connected to the previous issues, being proactive about water issues is a smart approach. Since chimneys are subject to normal weather conditions such as rain and snow, it’s important to ensure your chimney is waterproof. Luckily, there are water repellent coatings that you can apply to the exterior of your chimney. This can lead to better protection from the elements and prevent future costly water damage repairs.
