Our Proven Chimney Repair Process
Our comprehensive chimney repair process ensures a thorough and lasting solution to any chimney problem. We start with a detailed inspection and end with a meticulous cleanup, keeping you informed every step of the way. We also serve nearby cities such as Oakland
Detailed Inspection
Our first step is a comprehensive inspection of your chimney. We assess the condition of the chimney crown, brickwork, flue, and flashing. We look for cracks, spalling, missing mortar, and any signs of water damage. This thorough assessment allows us to accurately diagnose the problem and recommend the most effective solution.
Customized Repair Plan
Based on our inspection, we develop a customized repair plan tailored to your specific needs. We explain the proposed repairs in detail, answer any questions you may have, and provide a transparent estimate for the work. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand the scope of the project and are comfortable with our recommendations.
Expert Repair Execution
Our skilled technicians carry out the repairs with precision and expertise. We use high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure a lasting repair. Whether it's repointing brickwork, replacing damaged flashing, or repairing the chimney crown, we pay attention to every detail to ensure the job is done right. Our team is experienced in a multitude of repair types and can even service flat roof chimneys!
Flue Inspection and Cleaning
A clean and properly functioning flue is essential for the safe and efficient venting of harmful gases. As part of our chimney repair service, we inspect the flue for any obstructions or damage. We also offer flue cleaning to remove creosote buildup, which can pose a fire hazard.
Waterproofing and Sealing
Water is a major enemy of chimneys. It can seep into cracks and cause significant damage over time. To protect your chimney from water damage, we offer waterproofing and sealing services. We apply a high-quality sealant to the exterior of the chimney, preventing water from penetrating the brickwork and causing further deterioration.
Chimney Crown Repair
The chimney crown is the concrete slab that covers the top of the chimney. It protects the chimney from water damage and prevents debris from entering the flue. If the chimney crown is cracked or damaged, it can allow water to seep into the chimney, causing significant damage. We offer chimney crown repair services to restore the integrity of the crown and protect your chimney from water damage. And if you need roof repair, we can help too.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Chimney flashing is the metal sheeting that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof. It prevents water from leaking into the house. If the flashing is damaged or corroded, it can allow water to seep into the house, causing significant damage. We offer chimney flashing repair services to replace damaged flashing and ensure a watertight seal between the chimney and the roof.
Complete Chimney Rebuilds
In some cases, the damage to a chimney is so extensive that a complete rebuild is necessary. We offer complete chimney repair services, using high-quality materials and proven techniques to construct a durable and long-lasting chimney. Our team will handle all aspects of the rebuild, from demolition to construction, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.
Meticulous Cleanup
We believe in leaving every job site clean and tidy. After completing the repairs, we thoroughly clean the area, removing all debris and materials. We want you to be completely satisfied with our service from start to finish.
Recognizing Chimney Troubles: Signs and Solutions
Identifying chimney problems early can prevent costly repairs and ensure your home's safety. Here are some common issues to watch out for:
Visible Cracks
Cracks in the chimney's brickwork or mortar are a clear sign of damage. Water can seep into these cracks, causing further deterioration during freeze-thaw cycles. Our repointing and brick replacement services address these cracks, restoring the chimney's structural integrity and preventing water damage.
Spalling Bricks
Spalling occurs when the surface of the bricks flakes or peels off. This is often caused by water absorption and subsequent freezing. We remove the damaged bricks and replace them with new ones, ensuring a seamless repair that matches the existing brickwork.
Missing Mortar
Missing or crumbling mortar joints weaken the chimney's structure and allows water to penetrate. Our repointing services involve removing the old mortar and replacing it with new, high-quality mortar, restoring the chimney's strength and preventing water damage.
Water Leaks
Water leaks around the chimney can cause significant damage to your roof and interior walls. These leaks can be caused by damaged flashing, cracks in the chimney crown, or porous brickwork. We identify the source of the leak and provide the necessary repairs to prevent further water damage. Don't hesitate to schedule your roof inspection today!
Damaged Flashing
Damaged or corroded flashing can allow water to seep into the house, causing leaks and water damage. We replace the damaged flashing with new, high-quality flashing, ensuring a watertight seal between the chimney and the roof.
Chimney Crown Damage
A cracked or damaged chimney crown can allow water to enter the chimney, causing significant damage. We can even help restore chimneys on metal roofs. We repair or replace the chimney crown, protecting the chimney from water damage and preventing debris from entering the flue.
Smoke Draft Issues
If smoke is drafting back into your home, it could be a sign of a blocked flue or a problem with the chimney's design. We inspect the flue for any obstructions and provide cleaning or repairs as needed to ensure proper ventilation. While we're at it - you might consider a roof cleaning to avoid any problems.
Creosote Buildup
Creosote is a flammable substance that can build up in the flue, posing a fire hazard. Regular chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup, reducing the risk of chimney fires and ensuring safe operation.
