Services for Your Madison, NJ Chimney
Our certified crews can handle any chimney repair or rebuilding job.
Masonry Repair
Cracked bricks and decaying mortar in a chimney point to bigger trouble down the line. From widespread leaks to structural instability, damaged masonry can lead to serious, costly problems. We’ll help you avoid those problems by replacing bricks and strengthening mortar joints through tuckpointing.
Chimney Cap Repair
Chimney caps are installed to shield the flue from rain, snow, debris, and small animals. A damaged chimney cap can lead to draft blockages, deterioration, and unpleasant odors. We repair and install chimney caps and chimney chase tops.
Chimney Crown Repair
Approved Chimney repairs and rebuilds concrete chimney crowns. A cracked crown can allow water to enter the interior of the chimney, eroding parts of the chimney liner and the chimney structure itself. We patch cracks and build new chimney crowns.
Chimney Liner Repair and Relining
If your chimney liner is cracked, split, or has gaps, that means a path is open for heat, flames, and dangerous combustion gases to escape the flue. We can repair some types of liner damage with the Thermocrete flue-coating method. Other times, we might recommend relining your chimney with a new stainless-steel liner.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Flashing guards the gap between the chimney and the roof. When parts of the flashing are warped or missing, rain and melting snow can spill down below the roof, damaging not only the chimney but also the home’s materials. We provide expert flashing repair and new flashing installation.
Damper Repair
A damaged damper that can’t fully open will make it difficult to get fires started and safely draft the smoke. If the damper can’t close tightly, you could be losing conditioned air from inside your home. We’ll repair your fireplace damper to make sure it works correctly; if it’s severely damaged, we’ll replace it.
Chimney Rebuilding and Restoration
Our harsh New Jersey weather is hard on masonry chimneys. Snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles, blistering heat – it all takes a toll. If your chimney is damaged beyond repair, the best move is to have us rebuild it. Chimney rebuilding returns a new chimney that looks fantastic, works right, and complies with all state and local code regulations.
