About this service
Over time, weather and heat cycles break down the mortar joints and stone or brick surfaces of your chimney. Masonry repair involves tuckpointing, which is replacing decayed mortar, or repairing cracked exterior surfaces to keep water out. The final cost is typically based on the total area needing repair and the accessibility of the chimney stack. Proper maintenance protects the structural integrity of the entire system. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
As temperatures drop, everyone realizes their chimney needs attention at the same time. If you haven't had an inspection this year, it is vital to clear out blockages like bird nests or leaves before your first fire. We help you beat the rush so you can safely enjoy your fireplace as soon as the weather turns.

What does the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys mean?
The 3 to 10 rule for chimneys is a guideline suggesting that the fireplace opening width should be at least 3/4 the height of the chimney flue above the firebox. Additionally, the flue's cross-sectional area should ideally be at least 1/10th of the area of the fireplace opening. Adhering to this rule promotes efficient draft, prevents smoke spillage, and ensures safe operation.
