Chimneys should be professionally inspected at least once a year. Cleaning may also be necessary depending on usage, creosote buildup, and the chimney's overall condition.
Creosote is a highly flammable residue that builds up inside chimney flues during wood burning. Excessive buildup increases the risk of chimney fires and requires professional attention.
Yes. A professional chimney inspection can identify hidden damage, deteriorating masonry, and potential safety concerns before you purchase a property.
Chimney leaks often result from damaged flashing, cracked crowns, deteriorating mortar joints, or porous brickwork. A professional inspection can help identify the source and recommend appropriate repairs.
Repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar from brick joints and replacing it with fresh mortar. Tuckpointing is a specialized technique that creates a neat, defined mortar appearance.
It depends on the extent of structural damage. Minor deterioration may only require repointing or localized repairs, while extensive damage may require partial or complete structural rebuilding.
Our primary focus is forensic masonry inspections, structural rebuilding, brick repointing, and foundation water mitigation. Contact us to discuss your specific stonework requirements and confirm availability.
