What Can Damage Your Chimney?
Over time, the wear and tear your chimney takes from weathering, earthquakes, creosote build up or poor construction catches up. It’s normal. But when it does, it’s time for a repair or chimney restoration. We aim to take a unsafe or damaged chimney and return it to a safe, structurally sound state.
Chimney damage can result from a variety of factors, including exposure to rain and humidity, faulty construction, and aging structures. Rainwater and humidity can cause the structure of the chimney to deteriorate faster and cause metal parts to rust, which can affect proper airflow and ventilation. Water vapor can also contribute to the development of creosote, a flammable substance that results from incomplete combustion in the chimney.
Faulty construction is another potential cause of chimney damage, with poor construction allowing fire to spread or making it easier for water damage to occur. Improper sealing of mortar and faulty installation of flashing can also lead to leakage. Additionally, ground movement such as construction or earthquakes can cause aging structures to become unstable and require repair or restoration.
However, with our expert chimney repair and chimney restoration services, we can transform an unsafe or damaged chimney into a safe, structurally sound masterpiece.
