Chimney fires can cause cracks. Acidic compounds in smoke can cause corrosion. When your chimney liner isn’t performing it’s job, it can create a serious problem, leading to structural fires and carbon monoxide poisoning if not attended to. At Chimney Doctors, we use high-quality stainless steel liners with a lifetime warranty to reline your system.
The mortar in your bricks takes a beating from every Minnesota winter and thunderstorm. Over time, it will erode, crack, take on moisture, and crumble. Catching that erosion early and providing a new wear layer is called tuckpointing, while replacing the mortar with new mortar to fix the damage is called repointing, and both keep your chimney system strong.
As time wears on your chimney and the time for tuckpointing or repointing has passed, you may realize that your chimney needs some serious work so that it can be used safely again. In these situations, chimney rebuilding allows you to save over the cost of replacement while maintaining your chimney’s original appearance and charm as much as possible, with a ChimGuard full-coverage chimney cap, the ultimate chimney protection!
Your chimney’s uppermost masonry is called the crown. This part of your chimney protects the masonry underneath it from falling rain and melting ice and snow. However, if it become cracked due to freeze/thaw cycles or is damaged due to a blow from a falling limb or tree, it’s important to have this vital protector repaired quickly and effectively with a full-coverage chimney cap.
