Preserving Chimney Integrity with Waterproofing
Chimney leaks can lead to various problems if not attended to. We recognize the importance of fixing chimney leaks, regardless of their origin. We identify and repair leaks caused by faulty flashings around chimneys, stacks, and vents with advanced techniques and products. By addressing these issues early on, we prevent further damage to your fireplace, offering you peace of mind and averting costly repairs.
Shielding Masonry from Water Damage
Water penetration can cause significant harm to your chimney’s masonry, leading to erosion, structural deterioration, and unsightly stains. To avoid these risks, Chimney Care Plus implements a water repellent called ChimneySaver. This specially formulated product creates a protective barrier, preventing water from seeping into the masonry. By applying ChimneySaver, your chimney will last longer and be safeguarded against the elements.
Securing the Crown
The crown of your chimney also keeps water out. If cracked, improperly constructed, or damaged, water can infiltrate, causing issues such as water leaks and structural deterioration. During our crown sealing services, we evaluate the crown’s condition and either seal it with top-quality materials or, if necessary, rebuild it. By ensuring the integrity of your crown, we prevent water damage and maintain your chimney’s efficiency.
Masonry Repairs for Enhanced Efficiency
Damaged masonry can compromise the energy efficiency of your chimney and lead to cold air drafts entering your home through the fireplace. We specialize in masonry repairs, including replacing leaky or damaged chase tops, particularly those made of masonry. By examining the condition of your chase top and addressing any issues, we eliminate potential hazards and improve your chimney’s performance.
