About this service
Fireplace repair involves fixing the interior box, the damper, and the surrounding hearth area. You need this service if the firebricks inside your fireplace are broken, the damper is stuck open or closed, or if the masonry hearth is cracked. A well-functioning fireplace should draw air efficiently; if you find it difficult to start a fire or notice smoke venting into the room instead of up the flue, it is time to have a professional examine the system.
Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

What chimney liner repair services are available?
Chimney liner repair services address issues with the internal lining of the chimney, which is crucial for safety and preventing heat transfer to the surrounding structure. This can involve relining the flue with a new stainless steel insert or a poured-in-place refractory cement liner if the original clay tiles are cracked or deteriorated. Minor cracks might be sealed with specialized high-temperature compounds. Ensuring the flue liner is intact and properly functioning is paramount for safe operation. We can assess your liner.

What chimney masonry repair involves?
Chimney masonry repair in Pittsburgh typically involves addressing issues like deteriorated mortar joints through tuckpointing, where old mortar is removed and replaced with new material. This process restores the structural integrity and weather resistance of the brickwork. It can also include replacing damaged or spalled bricks and repairing cracks in the chimney structure. The goal is to ensure the chimney is structurally sound, safe, and visually appealing. We can perform these repairs.
What kind of chimney leak repair can be done?
Chimney leak repair often focuses on the flashing, the metal barrier where the chimney meets the roof, which is a common source of leaks. Professionals will inspect the flashing for damage, corrosion, or improper seals and repair or replace it as needed to ensure a watertight barrier. Additionally, they will examine the chimney's masonry for cracks or porous areas that might allow water penetration, sealing them appropriately. The objective is to prevent water from entering the home. We can address these leaks.
