How to Know Your Chimney Needs to Be Repaired
Recognizing the signs that your chimney needs to be repaired is the first step in restoring it. You should call a professional chimney repair company if you’re noticing any of the following signs:
- Visible damage – You should have your chimney regularly inspected for visible damage such as cracks, crumbling, or leaning. Be sure to promptly call a chimney repair company if any visible damage is present.
- Leaking water – If you notice a leak on your walls or ceiling, you may be dealing with a leak in your chimney. Any leaking should be repaired quickly to prevent the bricks and mortar from deteriorating.
- Damaged or missing chimney cap – Your chimney should always have a functioning chimney cap to provide a barrier against water, debris, and critters. If your chimney cap is damaged, be sure to have it replaced to keep your home protected.
- Smoke inside your home – Any smoke or other unpleasant odors inside your home can indicate an airflow issue or blockage in our chimney, which should be repaired quickly.
- Buildup of creosote – A highly flammable substance called creosote accumulates inside chimney flues. Chimneys require regular inspection and cleaning to prevent excess buildup, as it can increase the risk of chimney fires.
- Damage to your chimney liner – Your chimney has a liner that protects the wall from heat and corrosion. If you have cracks or other damage to your liner, you’ll want to have it replaced to prevent fire and carbon monoxide leaks.
Chimney Removal Service
In addition to our chimney repair services, we also offer chimney removals, where we tear down the chimney to the roofline and either replace it or cover the opening with roofing. For homeowners who don’t use their chimneys, a full removal may be the best option. We’d be happy to help you understand your options and plan a chimney removal if that’s the best course of action.
