Chimney Repair & Replacement Process
The process of repairing or replacing a chimney will vary depending on the extent of the damage and the type of chimney involved. The following are the general steps involved in repairing or replacing a chimney:
- Inspection: A chimney inspection is necessary to determine the extent of the damage.
- Obtaining necessary permits: Before any work can begin, it may be necessary to obtain permits.
- Demolition: If the chimney needs to be replaced, the old chimney will need to be demolished.
- Reconstruction: The new chimney will then need to be constructed, properly sealed, and weatherproofed.
- Installation of flue liner: If a new flue liner is required, we’ll walk you through your options.
- Masonry repair: If the chimney requires masonry repair, this will be done at this stage.
- Installation of chimney cap: A new chimney cap may need to be installed.
- Clean-up: Once the chimney repairs are complete, the area will be cleaned up.
