Masonry Chimney & Fireplace Repairs

A masonry chimney is a traditional chimney built on-site using bricks, stones, or concrete blocks held together with mortar. It serves as a vertical conduit to safely vent smoke, gases, and other byproducts of combustion from fireplaces, stoves, furnaces, and water heaters out of a building.

Masonry Fireplace Smoke Chamber restore

Chimney smoke chamber repair refers to the process of fixing damage or deterioration within the smoke chamber of a masonry chimney. The smoke chamber is a crucial transitional area located above the firebox and below the flue. It's shaped like an inverted funnel and its purpose is to efficiently direct smoke and combustion gases from the wider firebox opening into the narrower flue.

We Build Custom Chimney Caps

A chimney cap is like a protective hat for your chimney, primarily serving to:

​

  *  Keep out water: Preventing rain and snow from damaging the chimney structure and causing leaks.
  *  Block debris and animals: Stopping leaves, twigs, and critters from entering and causing blockages or hazards.
   * Improve draft: Helping smoke flow upwards consistently by deflecting wind.
   * Prevent sparks: Containing embers to reduce the risk of roof fires.
