Restoring strength, brick by brick.

A masonry chimney rebuild is a comprehensive restoration of a deteriorating or unsafe chimney structure. Over time, exposure to the elements like rain, snow, and heat can cause the mortar joints between bricks to weaken, leading to cracks or structural instability. If left untreated, this can result in safety hazards such as chimney collapse or fire risks.
Rebuilding your chimney ensures:
Structural integrity: Old, cracked, or damaged chimneys are vulnerable to collapse, posing risks to both the home and its occupants.
Fire safety: A chimney with damaged masonry can allow toxic gasses, such as carbon monoxide, to seep into your home. Rebuilding restores the chimney to a safe condition.
Preventing leaks: Deteriorating mortar or missing bricks can lead to water leaks that damage both the chimney and the surrounding structure, causing further costly repairs.
Chimney Crown
An integral part of any chimney is the crown - the top section designed to cover the flue and divert water away from the masonry. A well-maintained chimney crown is essential in protecting your chimney’s structure and prolonging its lifespan.
At Chimney Guards, our team of skilled professionals provides comprehensive chimney crown repair services, including:
Inspection: We thoroughly inspect your chimney crown for any signs of damage, wear, or deterioration.
Crack repair: We expertly repair any cracks or gaps in the crown to restore its protective function.
Rebuilding: We offer rebuilding services for damaged or deteriorated chimney crowns with durable materials - masonry, concrete, metal - ensuring long-term protection.
We strongly advise having your chimney crown inspected by a professional at least once a year. Given that the chimney crown is not visible from ground level, it is essential to rely on expert evaluation to detect any potential issues. Regular inspections enable early identification of problems, allowing for prompt repairs and mitigating the risk of more extensive damage.
