When chimney issues crop up, a common question is “who should I call to fix my chimney?”

Types of Chimney Services We Offer

Chimney Leak Repair

Chimney leaks not only deteriorate the chimney over time but can also cause damage to other parts of your home like framing and drywall. Chimney leaks can also be complex because the cause may not be easily detected. Some common causes include a lack of flashing, roof installation issues, masonry or stucco installation issues, crown or cap damage and more. It is essential to detect the real cause behind your chimney leak and get it fixed as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your home.

Chimney Repair & Maintenance

Chimney repair and maintenance can involve taking care of typical wear and tear, damaged crowns or caps, crumbling or missing mortar, and more. By taking care of these signs of damage early on you can maintain the waterproofing of your chimney, avoid further deterioration, and maintain curb appeal. 

Chimney Restoration

In additional to the functional purpose of chimneys, they often also give your home the benefit of unique appealing exterior features. Chimney restoration services can involve masonry restoration and tuckpointing, replacing the chimney crown, cap, or flashing to protect from water damage, and preserving the architectural integrity of your chimney. 

Chimney Cap Installation & Replacement

Damaged or missing chimney caps can cause a variety of issues such as leaks, flue damage, clogging with debris, and infestation problems with insects, birds, and small animals. Proper installation or replacement of your chimney cap should prevent these issues and custom chimney caps are also an option to add to the curb appeal of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

One solution to get rid of white staining of the masonry on your chimney is to complete a muriatic acid wash, which is a corrosive acid that should be handled by a professional to avoid bodily harm. Additionally, identifying the cause behind the efflorescence is important because it typically caused by moisture that should not be entering the brick. 

Most roofers are the go-to for resolving transition issues between a chimney and a roof and the installation or replacement of chimney caps. However, for more complex issues you’ll want to use a general contractor that understands all the trades that go into chimney repairs, maintenance and restoration — such as ReRoofIt.

Typically you will want to address chimney issues first but there may be scenarios that require coordination between both trades for transitions and flashing.
