These Are Some of the Chimney and Masonry Repairs We Perform
The smoke chamber is located directly above the damper and helps funnel the smoke and various byproducts of fire out of the chimney. But when cracks, rough patches, and dangerous deposits are present, the fireplace’s safety and efficiency suffers. Parging smooths the surface of the chamber and helps eradicate buildup of any hazardous materials, so that smoke can swiftly move up and out of the chimney.

The damper is what’s just below the smoke chamber and what closes and opens the flue. It’s designed to keep outside air from entering the home when the fireplace is not being used and to prevent inside air from being lost up the chimney. But dampers can have problems. Most commonly, dampers break, rust into place, or just do a poor job of sealing off the flue. Whatever the issue may be with your damper, we can help by replacing it with a new top-mounted damper.

Masonry must be durable enough to withstand years of damage from the elements. However, as masonry ages, the mortar between the brick develops cracks and holes while crumbling and deteriorating. Moisture and insects enter your home this way and create a litany of problems. Luckily, we can perform tuckpointing services to repair your masonry and restore it!

If your chimney is damaged beyond repair, we can rebuild the entire system. Chimney rebuilds are necessary if the chimney is leaning or severely structurally damaged. In addition to ruining the look of your system, this is a major safety and efficiency issue. Learn more about our chimney rebuilds right here!
The flue liner is one of the most vital portions of your chimney system and it has an incredibly important job. What does it do? It keeps all those hot burning embers, destructive byproducts, and dangerous gases contained and ushers them up the chimney and out of the home. The problem is this: chimney liners, like anything else, can fail and deteriorate. When this happens, it’s imperative that the liner be replaced before you light another fire in the fireplace.

Water is the #1 most destructive element your chimney faces, and when a leak is present, damage can quickly spread, and repair costs can quickly add up. Here at ChimneyTEK of Delaware, we do our best to quickly repair leaks and prevent them altogether with our flashing repair, crown repair, and chimney waterproofing services. Find out more here.
