Signs of a Damaged Chimney

Your chimney may seem like a sturdy and reliable structure, but it is not immune to wear and tear. Over time, various factors can lead to damage that can compromise the safety and functionality of your chimney. Recognizing the signs of a damaged chimney is crucial for ensuring prompt repairs and avoiding further complications. One of the most obvious signs of a damaged chimney is visible deterioration in the brickwork. Cracks, chips, or crumbling bricks can indicate structural issues that need to be addressed. Additionally, if you notice loose or missing mortar joints, this is another sign of damage that should not be ignored. Leaning chimneys are another red flag that your chimney is in need of repair. If you notice your chimney is no longer standing upright and appears to be leaning to one side, this can be a sign of underlying foundation issues or structural damage.

"We are so thrilled with our new steps and railings, Chris and his team were amazing to work with. I loved the fact that he guided us thru design and choices of materials, and his contract is meticulous and lays out scope of work and material costs with great clarity.
