Masonry Repairs with the Highest Quality Workmanship and Attention to Detail
With a chill clearly in the air plus the pending arrival of winter weather, that time of year has returned when families can once again enjoy the warmth and ambience of sitting by the fireplace. And with the festive season about to shift into high gear, the fireplace may be the focal point in many homes for entertaining friends and relatives.
Regrettably, this enjoyment and fellowship can be short-lived if the structural integrity of the fireplace and/or chimney are compromised or if they are not functioning properly/not performing to code. Such unfavourable effects can range from the inconvenient to the most serious of health and safety issues, and can include any and all of the following:
- Water leaks/damage to property
- Structural damage to the home
- Stained exterior walls/masonry
- Exposure to toxic fumes/gases
- Total collapse of the chimney
- A loss of heating efficiency
- Vulnerability to fire risks
There are a number of factors/circumstances that will have an adverse effect on either the functionality or structural integrity of a fireplace or chimney. These would consist of:
- Deterioration/dislodging of bricks/mortar
- Cracks or other flaws in the chimney liner
- Cracks or gaps in the chimney crown or cap
- Penetration of moisture into the masonry work
- Poor initial installation of the fireplace or chimney
- Dried, cracked, or missing caulking around flashing
- Post-construction settling or shifting of the foundation
- Lack of a chimney flue/liner (primarily in older homes)
Should these types of situations be clearly evident to/suspected by a homeowner, it will be imperative to remedy the matter before more extensive and more expensive damage can occur or, perish the thought, family members/guests are exposed to potential health or safety threats.
