Why is damp appearing on the breast of my chimney inside the house?
This is often caused by failed lead flashing at the roofline or porous bricks absorbing rainwater. We can identify the source and reseal the chimney to stop the leak.
What is "repointing" and why does my chimney need it?
Repointing is the process of replacing old, crumbling mortar between the bricks. If left unattended, water enters the gaps, freezes, and causes the bricks to crack or the chimney to become unstable.
Do you install chimney cowls?
Yes, we install various cowls to prevent birds from nesting, stop rain from entering the flue, and improve the "draught" or airflow for your fireplace or stove.
