Chicago, IL Chimney Liner Repair and Replacement

Minor damage to a chimney liner can sometimes be repaired. Chimney fires, acidic creosote, and old age can cause damage. When a liner needs to be replaced, we use sturdy UL-listed stainless steel replacement liners that will give you years of efficient, predictable operation.

Masonry Repair and Tuckpointing

The weather here in Chicago, IL, takes its toll on just about everything, including the masonry of our chimneys. When bricks crack and mortar crumbles, trouble is on the way. Widespread water damage and structural compromise are two of our main concerns here.

Our field technicians perform masonry repair work by replacing damaged bricks and filling in open gaps between bricks with a strong new compound, a process called tuckpointing.

Chimney Cap Repair and Installation

Chimney caps guard the top flue opening to keep rain, snow, tree debris, and small animals out of the chimney. If your chimney cap is loose or unseated, we’ll secure it. If it’s damaged beyond repair, we’ll install a new custom chimney cap that protects not only the flue but also the entire top area of the chimney.

Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding

The concrete crown at the top of your Chicago, IL, chimney can crack, allowing water to seep into the bricks below. A broken crown can also allow water to enter the interior areas of the chimney system. We seal and rebuild damaged crowns.

Chimney Rebuilding

If a chimney is significantly damaged, basic chimney repair usually won’t solve the problem. When we rebuild severely damaged chimneys for our Chicago, IL, customers, we:

Make the chimney the correct height and diameter for your specific fireplace
Line it with a UL-listed stainless-steel liner
Use top-quality bricks and mortar compounds
Seal the gap between the roof and chimney with sturdy flashing

Our chimney rebuilding service includes the safe demolition and removal of the existing chimney.
