Protect & Strengthen Your Chimney With Expert Masonry Repair & Waterproofing Services
The masonry exterior of your chimney above the roofline takes a lot of weather abuse.
Winter snow and ice.
Spring storms.
Water penetration is a major cause for damage and deterioration of the chimney. By waterproofing now, you will save money by protecting your chimney from expensive repairs and extend the life of your chimney for years.
Our Specialties Include These Services:
Crown Repair & Waterproofing —The crown (cement top) of your chimney is made to protect the chimney opening against water. Crowns can crack, erode, or otherwise fail, and allow water into the home. The best way to prevent these types of leaks is to have repairs made quickly.
Masonry Repair & Waterproofing — Water is your masonry chimney’s worst enemy, and unfortunately, water often wins the battle. If you have masonry damage, like cracks in your mortar joints or spalling brick, the faster repairs are made, the better.
Flashing Repair & Waterproofing —The flashing at the base of the chimney where it meets the roof is often the culprit in a chimney leak. These metal sheets can be dented, lifted, rusted through, or just improperly installed, which can allow water to enter this vulnerable area.
Chimney Cap & Custom Cap Installation — Is your cap missing? Every chimney needs a cap to cover the flue and keep water, debris, and animals from entering.
