Prior to exploring chimney repairs, it is crucial to evaluate the structural form of the chimney as this is the foundation of the preliminary procedures. The brick and mortar should not allow rain or other elements to permeate the chimney’s composite structure.

Deterioration to chimneys may be brought on by a number of issues. Nevertheless, the scope and size of repairs is most usually a factor of the age of the structure but can also be brought on by severe weather (falling tree limbs or lightning strikes) or a chimney fire. Problems brought on by deteriorating mortar, excess moisture within the chimney, or a chimney fire will weaken clay tile liners and the brick, it is extremely important that chimneys are inspected from time to time. The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends yearly chimney inspection. In the Twin Cities Metro area our excessive freeze/thaw cycles adds even more weight to the necessity for consistent inspections.

Expert repairs are needed when you feel that the scope of the deterioration is over and above what you can adequately handle. Inspection by our CSIA certified experts will supply you with a report which offers appropriate maintenance procedures.

Swollen bricks or swollen mortar joints can cause the chimney to lean and lose its stability. Masonry swelling results from age and water leaks in the structure. Both brick and mortar are relatively water resistant when they are brand-new, but without the routine maintenance treatment of a waterproofing sealant, this quality is gradually lost with time and toward the end of their life span the moisture absorbency of masonry raises drastically. This often leads to increasingly rapid expansion damage during our freeze/thaw.

Spalled brick is a very common damage found
in chimneys. Missing mortar joints should be
thoroughly repointed with new mortar to
minimize further damage to the chimney structure.

Also, note that unexpected damage may possibly be caused by pressure washers and sandblasters. High-pressure sprayers and sandblasting can remove a portion of the brick and mortar surface area. Care must be taken if pressure washing becomes important. Stay clear of using a machine that is overpowered for the job or getting too near to the surface of the masonry with the spray tip. Sandblasting should only be undertaken by a qualified specialist.

Regardless of many essential preventative measures, if you find any cracks, signs of degeneration, crumbling mortar in the chimney, it is time to get reach out to our pros here at Dayco General for a chimney inspection to assure the safety and security of your home. Ignoring masonry chimney issues may possibly be downright costly and dangerous for your family.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]   [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
