Chimney Repair Company in Alexandria, VA

When your house was built, its chimney was one of its strongest and sturdiest features. But even if it’s still standing upright, years of use and weathering have likely taken their toll and worn your chimney out. A chimney repair involves the fixing of any damage. One of the primary reasons for chimney repairs is water. That’s because the porous brick and mortar material used in chimneys absorbs water and starts to deteriorate.

By detecting and repairing early deterioration, you can increase your chimney’s lifespan. If you have a correctly installed chimney cap, undamaged chimney crown and water-tight chimney flashing, you’ll reduce the risk of requiring chimney repairs.

Common Types of Chimney Repairs

Chimney spalling occurs when the exterior of a chimney’s bricks starts to flake or crack. This indicates that water has penetrated the chimney. Our chimney technicians can pinpoint where moisture has penetrated your chimney and address the issue.

Chimney tuckpointing is the process of removing loose mortar between the brick joint and replacing it. Allowing the mortar between the bricks to decay can result in the need for an entire chimney rebuild. If your chimney requires tuckpointing, we can help.

Waterproofing is a sealant solution applied to a chimney’s exterior to prevent water decay. Before waterproofing your chimney, our chimney technicians inspect it for gaps and cracks that require repairing. We then complete the job with a layer of additional protection by spraying waterproofing on the chimney’s exterior.
