Spotting Damaged Chimney Parts

Many of the chimneys that our technicians fix are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was originally built. Most of the time this could be repaired by cutting out the old obstructed metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the broken pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water will pass the chimney cap. Expressway’s team may visit your property and assess the integrity of the residence’s chimney system, identify whether your chimney needs to be addressed. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Chimney harm typically begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline.

Because damage happens below the roof and out of sight, clients can not become aware of a leak until a major safety and property risk occurs.
