Here at Mr Chimney, we know what it takes to repair your chimney. Call Mr Chimney today for a free written estimate! Our comprehensive chimney repair process starts with a thorough inspection. We perform an external check for visible damage such as cracks, loose bricks, or deteriorating mortar, and an internal inspection using a flashlight to look for blockages, cracks, or creosote buildup. Let us handle the heavy lifting! We gather all necessary tools and materials, including a chisel, hammer, wire brush, trowel, mortar mix, replacement bricks or stones, a chimney cap, waterproofing sealant, a ladder, and safety equipment like gloves and goggles. Our experts will begin the repair process by cleaning the chimney, removing loose debris, and using a wire brush to clean out any loose mortar or crumbling brick.
Trust our professionals for the repointing process. We remove damaged mortar to a depth of about one inch and apply new mortar to the joints, using a trowel to press and smooth it out. If any bricks are damaged, we carefully replace them with new ones, using the mortar to set them in place. For cracks, we use mortar repair caulk for small ones and fresh mortar for larger ones, ensuring a solid seal. Our team will measure the top of the chimney to get the right size cap and secure it with screws or adhesive, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Ensure your chimney is protected from moisture with our waterproofing services. We apply a waterproofing sealant specifically designed for chimneys evenly over the entire exterior surface. After completing the repairs, we perform a final inspection to ensure all work is secure and the chimney cap is properly installed. To ensure everything is functioning correctly, we light a small fire to test the chimney for proper venting and to check for any leaks. Prioritize safety by letting us handle the repairs using sturdy ladders, safety gear, and professional expertise. If the damage is extensive or if you are unsure about any step of the process, contact Mr Chimney today for a free written estimate and professional assistance!
