CHIMNEY REBUILDS
Enhance your home/s aesthetic and value
When weakening of the chimney structure comes to the point of no return, the arrangement could be a tear-down and rebuild. During a rebuild, our masons will demolish any brick that is deteriorated, and use new brick to build it back up. A fractional rebuild can be done in cases where a portion of the structure is salvageable.
OVERHANG CONCRETE CROWN
20 year warranty
The chimney crown protects the top of your chimney from rain, snow, and water damage. Over time, cracks, chips, and holes can develop and allow moisture to enter, leading to costly masonry damage.
We recommend inspecting your chimney crown at least once a year. Our team can repair minor damage or rebuild the crown when necessary to keep your chimney protected and in good condition.
CHIMNEY RELINING
Stainless Steel Liners- LIfetime Warranty
A damaged or aging chimney can allow smoke, gases, and sparks to enter your home. Instead of costly chimney replacement, relining can provide a safer, more efficient solution.
General Chimney Services installs durable chimney liners designed to protect your chimney, improve ventilation, and extend the life of your system. A properly installed liner also adds value and peace of mind for homeowners.
TUCKPOINTING
Rebuild joint integrity
The vertical and horizontal cracks between the bricks are known as the joints. As the mortar wears away the joints will grow. Loosened bricks can fall out and cause your chimney to crumble.
Tuckpointing refills the cracked joints to keep the bricks in place.
Besides time, a major cause of wear includes the harsh winter conditions, particularly moisture. Your chimney doesn’t get to go indoors like we do, it’s outside all the time. This constant exposure means even the best maintained chimney will need masonry work eventually.
FIREBOX REPAIR
The heart of your home
The interior space of your fireplace where combustion takes place is called the firebox. It is constructed of a unique type of brick and mortar that is built to withstand the high temperatures associated with wood burning.
Nevertheless, the elements of the firebox weaken with age, and deterioration shows itself in the form of cracks in the mortar and in the bricks themselves. Our masons are experienced in both full and partial rebuilds of the firebox.
