    What Is Chimney Repair?

    Chimney repair addresses a range of issues, from minor cracks and deteriorating mortar to damaged flue liners and leaking crowns. Common problems include:

    • Cracked or Spalling Bricks: Bricks can crack, flake, or break apart due to freeze-thaw cycles, water intrusion, or old age.

    • Deteriorated Mortar Joints: Mortar between chimney bricks can crumble or erode, leading to instability and water leaks.

    • Damaged Chimney Crown or Cap: The crown (top cement layer) and cap (metal or stone cover) protect your chimney from rain and debris. Cracks or gaps here can allow water to penetrate and cause internal damage.

    • Leaking or Blocked Flue: The flue liner may become cracked, blocked by debris, or corroded, posing fire and carbon monoxide risks.

    • Leaning or Unstable Chimney: Structural issues or foundation problems can cause the chimney to lean or separate from the house, requiring immediate attention.
