What Are the Most Common Chimney Repairs?

Chimneys are exposed to the elements year-round. No matter how well you work to maintain your chimney and keep it in good shape, it should be no surprise that it will need repairs from time to time.

Here are some of the most common chimney repairs:

  • Removal of creosote buildup. Homeowners with wood-burning hearth appliances are likely all too familiar with creosote. This is a flammable tar-like substance that is a natural byproduct of burning firewood. Annual chimney sweepings can keep creosote levels manageable, but neglect can produce dangerous amounts of creosote buildup that need to be removed as soon as possible.
  • Chimney cap installation or replacement. A chimney cap is a crucial line of defense against water intrusion. These protective covers shield the chimney from unwelcome visitors like rain, snow, debris, and even animals. A damaged or missing cap can leave your chimney vulnerable, allowing water to seep in and cause damage.
  • A chimney leak. Leaks in your chimney can stem from several issues, such as damaged flashing, cracks in the crown, or crumbling mortar joints. The flashing is the metal seal that prevents water where the chimney meets the roof. The crown is the cap on top of the chimney that shields it from rain. Early detection and repair of leaks is crucial to prevent significant water damage to both the chimney itself and the surrounding areas.
  • Deteriorated mortar and bricks. The mortar between the bricks in a chimney can crack and crumble. This can allow water to get into the chimney and cause more widespread damage. In severe cases, the bricks themselves may also crack or deteriorate.
  • The flue liner needs to be replaced. The flue liner acts as a barrier that protects the chimney walls from heat and corrosion. It also improves the chimney’s efficiency. Unfortunately, flue liners can deteriorate over time through cracking, corrosion, or general wear and tear.
