The primary enemy of chimneys. Water enters through cracks, failed flashing, and porous masonry, causing widespread deterioration.
Water freezes and expands in cracks, forcing them wider. Each cycle progressively destroys mortar and brick.
Repeated heating and cooling stresses materials, particularly clay tile liners, causing cracks over years of use.
All materials deteriorate over time. Mortar has a finite lifespan. Professional maintenance extends longevity dramatically.
Chimneys built with inadequate materials or improper techniques develop problems earlier than well-built chimneys.
Water is the primary enemy of chimneys. Most chimney repairs are ultimately water damage repairs.
Some problems can wait for scheduled service. Others need immediate attention.
