Our brutal New Jersey winters, super-hot summers, and seasonal storms can damage chimneys in many ways. Other factors can also necessitate chimney repair.
Approved Chimney provides licensed chimney repair service in Montclair, NJ, and all of Essex County, NJ. Here are some of the ways we can help you when your chimney is having problems.
Chimney Masonry Repair
Damaged chimney bricks can allow rain and melting snow to seep in, setting off a cycle of deterioration. Crumbling mortar between the bricks is a classic cause of structural instability.
We replace cracked and spalling bricks and tuckpoint the chimney's mortar joints to strengthen them. When the work is done, we’ll apply a chimney waterproofing solution to protect your masonry.
Chimney Rebuilding and Restoration
Should your Montclair, NJ, chimney become severely damaged, our certified technicians will partially or completely rebuild it, providing you with a chimney that’s not only structurally sound and efficient but also beautiful to look at.
Chimney Flue Relining and Repair
The liner inside your chimney flue protects the chimney and your home from the spread of flames and deadly combustion gases. In some cases, relining with a stainless-steel chimney liner is the best option. For certain types of liner damage, we recommend having us reline the flue with Thermocrete, a strong compound that covers every inch of the flue to eliminate cracks and gaps.
Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
A cracked chimney crown can allow water to penetrate and eventually damage the bricks below it. Crown damage can also create a path for water to run into unseen areas of the chimney. Our Montclair, NJ, chimney repair crew patches, rebuilds, and seals chimney crowns.
Chimney Cap Installation
If you run your chimney with no chimney cap, your flue is open to rain, snow, small animals, and tree debris. Let us install a sturdy new chimney cap to protect your flue and other parts of your chimney and fireplace system.
Chimney Flashing Repair and Installation
Warped or rusted flashing can allow water to run down through the gap between the chimney and the roof, potentially damaging the roof, parts of the home, and the unseen chimney masonry. We reseal flashing and install new flashing when necessary.
Damper Repair and Replacement
If your damper can’t open fully, you may at one point experience a backup of smoke and deadly carbon monoxide in your Montclair, NJ, home. A damper that won’t close can let in cold air, curious critters, and foul odors. We repair and replace damaged dampers.
