01. Mortar Joint Repair
This involves repairing damaged or deteriorating mortar joints between the bricks or stones of the chimney. Repointing, also known as tuckpointing, is commonly used to replace the old mortar with new mortar to restore structural integrity.
02. Chimney Crown Repair
The chimney crown, located at the top of the chimney, serves as a protective barrier against water and weather damage. Repairing or replacing a cracked or deteriorating chimney crown is crucial to prevent water penetration and further deterioration of the chimney structure.
03. Chimney Cap Installation
A chimney cap is a protective covering installed at the top of the chimney to prevent debris, animals, and water from entering the chimney flue. Installing or replacing a chimney cap helps to maintain the integrity of the chimney and prevents potential hazards such as chimney fires and water damage.
04. Flue Liner Repair
The flue liner is the inner lining of the chimney that directs smoke and gases out of the home. Repairing or replacing a damaged or deteriorating flue liner is essential to ensure the safe operation of the fireplace or heating appliance and prevent the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or chimney fires.

Signs that your chimney may need repair include cracks in the chimney crown, deteriorating mortar joints, water leaks inside the home near the chimney, and smoke or odors entering the home. Additionally, if you notice any leaning or tilting of the chimney structure, it’s essential to have it inspected and repaired promptly.
It’s generally recommended to avoid using your fireplace or heating appliance while chimney repairs are being performed to ensure the safety of both the workers and your home. Once the repairs are complete and the chimney has been inspected for safety, you can resume normal use.
