Signs That Your Chimney Needs To Be Repaired
Damaged Mortar Joints
As a result of freezing and thawing, the mortar joints can develop cracks. These cracks will eventually intensify with water seeping into them. The is an increased risk of the chimney collapsing if these cracks aren’t repaired.
Spalling Bricks
Another telltale sign that your chimney needs repair spalling. Water seeping into the surface and salt can cause the masonry to pop out, flake off or peel off. If you notice any of these signs please contact us immediately.
Rusted Damper or Firebox
Moisture in the chimney can cause severe damage. If you find that the damper is difficult to operate or isn’t closing properly, check the damper for rust. Moisture can also cause your flue tiles to crack increasing the risk of fire.
