What Are Signs My Chimney Needs Repair Services?

A chimney is a tall, solid, strong structure, but as it ages, it can fall into disrepair. The average homeowner may not be able to spot all the signs of chimney damage – or know how dangerous some of them are – which is why booking those annual inspections is so important. 

That said, there are signs to watch for that may indicate some professional maintenance is in order.

  • Are leaks causing water to end up on the floor of your firebox? 
  • Do you see crumbling mortar around the chimney on the roof? 
  • Have bricks become loose, or are sections of brick missing? 
  • Is mortar flaking and crumbling?
  • Are you spotting water stains on the walls and ceilings near the fireplace?
  • Is your fireplace operating less efficiently than normal?
  • Is smoke backing up into your home?
  • Have you spotted signs of rust or damage to any metal components?

If you spy any of the above issues – or have anything else concerning you – reach out. When it comes to chimney and fireplace repairs, you don’t want to put off booking your service. Severely damaged bricks and mortar can cause a chimney to lean to one side, and if not addressed, this problem can lead to a collapse of some or all of the structure.

In addition, cracks in mortar joints and decaying bricks allow water to infiltrate the system, where it will continue its cycle of damage until a serious problem exists. And if the inside of the chimney structure is compromised, extreme heat from fires will be able to contact walls and other home building materials and increase the risk of fire.

You can work to prevent these unwanted scenarios by scheduling annual chimney inspections. SureGlow technicians are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), and we are equipped to perform repair and maintenance work on all styles and types of chimneys. You can count on us to restore your chimney to a safer and operational state.

What Are Some Common Chimney Masonry Repair Services?

Masonry work is a beautiful addition to any home, and it’s what people typically imagine when they think of a chimney structure. Yet, in order to retain its attractive appearance and structural stability, it needs to be maintained. If your chimney is looking worse of the wear, you may be in need of one or more of the following services:

  • Full or Partial Chimney Rebuild: Severely damaged chimneys are not safe to use. Our expert chimney technicians have years of experience performing partial and complete chimney rebuilds to quickly put a stop to the decomposition process. We’ll assess the damage and determine the correct solution to make your chimney safer for use.
  • Chimney Crown Repair or Rebuild: The cement chimney crown that seals off most of the flue opening at the top of the chimney is prone to cracking with age. When rainwater or water from melting snow enters the cracks, it freezes and expands, leading to further damage. Once moisture has permeated the system, it’s difficult to fix without some degree of chimney crown rebuilding. Call us to repair all levels of chimney crown damage.
  • Tuckpointing or Brick Replacement: If the bricks and mortar of your chimney are beginning to crumble and fall away, the solution may be a process called tuckpointing.  This service involves adding fresh, strong mortar to open areas in the masonry in order to bring new strength to the chimney and prolong its life. We also provide brick replacement services.
  • Smoke Chamber Parging: Over time, the surfaces of smoke chambers can become rough or damaged. When this happens, smoke and gases fail to efficiently vent out of the chimney and the area becomes more prone to creosote buildup. We can help this problem through parging, in which we smooth out the rough surfaces of the area and restore efficient drafting.

If you suspect your chimney is damaged, our certified technicians are standing by to help. Get your questions answered or arrange an appointment by calling us or reaching out online today.
