Fairfield CT Chimney Repair

With its quaint downtown and historical colonial architecture, Fairfield, CT, is a quintessential New England town. Ideally situated on the shores of the Long Island Sound on the Connecticut Gold Coast, Fairfield is a popular destination for visitors from Stratford and the Greater Bridgeport Planning Region. The Fairfield Historic District has numerous old colonial homes and estates, some established in 1639 by English colonists. Some residences still have their original masonry chimneys, charming wood-burning fireplaces, and heating stoves that may need repair.

When a chimney inspection reveals repairs are necessary, addressing them promptly is crucial. Some of the more common repairs in Fairfield, CT, and surrounding areas like Norwalk and Westport include:

Liner Replacement

Depending on the type of chimney liner and its damage, we may recommend repairing it with the FireGuard Ceramic Resurfacing & Joint Repair System. This advanced product is available only to professional chimney repair companies and technicians, like National Chimney Cleaners. It creates a super-strong seal over compromised areas within the liner. However, when a new chimney liner is necessary, we suggest stainless steel chimney liners. Stainless steel liners are highly durable and often feature a lifetime warranty.

Tuckpointing 

When the mortar on the chimney starts to crumble and wash away, tuckpointing repairs the masonry when caught early, typically through an annual inspection. Tuckpointing is when a chimney professional removes and replaces the decaying mortar with a new mortar compound. This tuck-and-point technique strengthens the entire chimney structure.

Smoke Chamber Parging 

Many older chimneys in the Fairfield-Bridgeport area were built with an outdated technique that uses corbeled brick. Its stairstep design traps creosote deposits, increasing fire risk. We parge the smoke chamber smoothly by applying a specially formulated heat-resistant coating to the interior walls, improving efficiency and preventing deterioration.

Cap and Chase Top Installation

Does your chimney have a missing chimney cap or damaged chase top? Perched above the chimney, flue caps or chase tops prevent moisture infiltration, a significant cause of chimney damage. Repairing or replacing rusted or damaged chimney caps and chase covers will help protect the stack from moisture, wind gusts, small animals, and debris. 

Chimney Rebuilding

If your Fairfield, CT, masonry chimney has extensive damage, such as leaning, gaping holes, or a severely compromised structure, our expert masons can rebuild it using traditional methods while adhering to NFPA industry standards and codes. This process involves a thorough assessment, careful deconstruction, and precise reconstruction, ensuring your chimney is restored to its original condition.
