Chimney Repair in Norwalk CT

A well-built chimney will last for many years and serve you safely and efficiently. One of the keys to a long life for your Norwalk, CT, chimney is to have chimney repair work done as soon as it becomes necessary.

National Chimney Cleaners provides code-compliant chimney repair, rebuilding, and component installation services for our customers in Norwalk, CT, and all of Fairfield County, CT.

Masonry Repair and Rebuilding

We repair damaged bricks and perform tuckpointing to strengthen masonry mortar joints. If your Norwalk, CT, chimney has suffered significant damage, we can rebuild or repair it as needed.

Chimney Waterproofing

Following masonry repairs, we can waterproof the chimney’s surfaces with ChimneySaver, the gold standard for chimney water repellents.

Chimney Cap / Chase Cover Repair and Replacement

Rusting, warping, or other problems in a chimney cap or chimney chase cover can let water into the flue, where it can do all kinds of damage. We repair and replace these important components.

Flashing Repair and Installation

Chimney flashing seals the gap between the roof and chimney and it must be tightly sealed to prevent water intrusion. We reseat dislodged flashing and install new flashing.

Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding

Cracks in a concrete chimney crown should be patched and sealed before water spills down into parts of the chimney and damages the bricks below the crown. Our Norwalk, CT, customers count on us for expert CrownSeal chimney crown repair and complete rebuilding.

Smoke Chamber Parging

The smoke chamber just above the firebox can develop cracks, breaks, and jagged edges. When this happens, dangerous combustion gases and flames can escape, and flammable creosote can accumulate. We repair and smooth out chamber surfaces with smoke chamber parging.

House Fire

An opening in the liner will allow intense heat to escape and begin drying out nearby materials of the home. This sets the stage for a dangerous house fire.

Norwalk CT Chimney Problem Troubleshooting

Not all chimney repair work is simple and straightforward. Sometimes, we have to do a little troubleshooting to get to the bottom of a problem. We address the following for our Norwalk, CT, customers.

• Chimney leaks: A leaky chimney could point to trouble with the chimney cap, chimney crown, chimney masonry, or chimney flashing. We’ll find out where the leak is coming from and fix it.
• Drafting problems: Chimneys can draft sluggishly because of flue obstructions, an incorrectly sized chimney liner, issues with the fireplace damper, and a house that’s too airtight. We’ll discover the cause and solve the problem.
• Horrible chimney odors: Odors could be from moisture, excess creosote, debris, or dead animals in the flue. We’ll clean the chimney and tell you how to prevent the problem in the future.
• Animals in the flue: Small animals enter chimneys through damaged or missing chimney caps. Removing them can be challenging and should only be done by a chimney or wildlife professional.
• Chimney stains: Rust stains are most often caused by a rusted chimney cap or chase cover. White stains point to bricks that are taking on water and leaching out salts. You also may notice brown, black, or green stains. We’ll find out what’s causing the stain and perform the necessary chimney repairs.
