Chimney Repairs

Here are the most common chimney repairs that Annapolis Chimney can offer.

1.Chimney Cap Repair

A missing cap on your chimney can bring a bit of trouble as it allows rain and animals to enter freely. Chimney caps keep water, squirrels, birds, and other animals or debris out of your chimney. While prohibiting unwanted things out, the chimney cap’s other function is to allow smoke to exit outside the chimney. If your chimney cap is damaged, it can be repaired. Allow Annapolis Chimney, your local chimney cap repair contractors, to fix it.

Masonry chimney gets wet and freezes during cold weather. The ice and snow inside the brick can damage the mortar causing it to crack. Our certified technicians have helped local customers protect and extend their masonry chimneys’ service life using our waterproofing sealant. What we use is a high-quality sealant great for blocking the absorption of water. We are glad to help you with our waterproofing masonry repair service.

6.Chimney Rebuilding

Chimney damages are not only apparent on the outside. If you are not considering a regular inspection and proper maintenance or cleaning, serious damage to the inner and outer parts of your chimney can occur. Chimney rebuilding is only necessary if your chimney is beyond minor repairs. When masonry is exposed to excess moisture, it begins to crumble, which can lead to the chimney structure to begin to collapse. This requires a rebuild. You can trust us for your chimney rebuilding.

The firebox is the box that surrounds the flames in your fireplace. It is basically the base of your chimney. From years of using the firebox, firebricks get wear and tear. If your firebox shows wear and tear, it is time to have it repaired. If you need to rebuild your firebox completely, we’ve got you covered. We can also do tuckpointing.
