We see our share of damaged chimneys throughout Dover NJ, Chester NJ, Morristown NJ, Rockaway NJ, Jefferson NJ, and other communities Morris County. Common problems we address and fix:
Even small chimney leaks can turn into widespread problems as water moves into the system and deteriorates bricks, chimney liners and more. We fix all types of chimney leaks.
Chimney liners made of stainless steel, clay tiles or poured-in-place compounds all can show signs of damage after years of use. A compromised liner can lead to damage within your chimney’s interior masonry as well as adjacent building materials of your home. Additionally, toxic gases including dangerous carbon monoxide can leak into your house through breaks in the chimney liner, which can lead to sickness or even be fatal. We repair and install quality stainless steel chimney liners.
Your chimney is only as strong as its bricks and mortar. When masonry is compromised, it sets the stage for water leaks and structural imbalance, which can lead to a collapsed chimney down the line. We provide brick replacement, tuckpointing for crumbling mortar and other masonry repair services including chimney waterproofing.
If your Morris County fireplace can’t effectively send smoke up into the flue, then smoke and harmful toxins can back up into your home. Flue blockages (debris or built-up creosote) often are responsible. We will solve this problem.
Chimney caps prevent water, debris and small animals from entering your flue. If your cap is severely damaged – or if you don’t have one – big trouble could be on the way. Chimney crowns are concrete structures that cover the top of your chimney minus the flue openings. They protect the interior flue and bricks below. We repair and replace both chimney caps and chimney crowns.
The flashing that seals the gap between your roof and exterior chimney is there to keep rain and snow from running down into your home and damaging building materials and chimney masonry. We can repair damaged flashing, but usually a complete replacement is the best option.
