Chimney Restoration and Reconstruction Explained
What It Means and Why It Matters?
Restoration involves repairing damaged areas—like cracked mortar or spalling bricks.
Reconstruction means rebuilding part or all of the chimney due to severe structural issues.
Weather, poor construction, and years of wear can compromise your chimney. Our team assesses the damage and recommends the right long-term solution.
What Causes Chimney Damage?
Understanding the Source Helps Prevent Future Repairs
Chimney damage usually starts small but can escalate quickly if left unchecked. These are the most common causes:
Water Infiltration – The #1 cause of chimney deterioration; moisture seeps into cracks and damages masonry over time.
Freeze/Thaw Cycles – Water expands as it freezes, enlarging cracks and worsening the damage with each cycle.
Improper Construction – Poor materials or skipped steps during the original build compromise structural integrity.
Lack of Maintenance – Missed inspections allow minor issues to develop into major problems.
Chimney Fires – Intense heat can crack tiles and damage the inner structure of the chimney.
When Is Chimney Restoration or Reconstruction Needed?
Spot the Signs Before It Gets Worse
Here are common signs your chimney may need professional attention:
Cracked or missing bricks and mortar
Leaning or tilting chimney structure
Water leaks inside the firebox or attic
White staining (efflorescence) on the exterior
Pieces of brick or mortar around the base of the chimney
Smoke backing up into your home
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to serious structural issues and expensive repairs down the line.

"Great company, very easy to schedule for our chimney sweep. Our technician James Wilson and his partner were very polite and friendly, they took extra care to ensure there was no mess inside the house and James went above and beyond explaining what he found during the inspection and fixed the issues with some cracks on the chimney where water was getting in, filled the cracks and sealed everything saving us from a hefty repair in the future! We will continue to use them for all our fireplace needs! Highly recommend."

Common Questions About Chimney Restoration
How do I know if I need a full rebuild or just restoration?
We’ll inspect the chimney thoroughly. If more than 50% of the structure is compromised, reconstruction is usually the safer option.
How long does restoration or reconstruction take?
Most jobs are completed within a few days, depending on the severity of the damage and weather conditions.
Will the new chimney match my house?
Yes. We match brick and mortar as closely as possible to your home’s original design and materials.
Is this covered by insurance?
In some cases, yes—especially if damage was caused by storms or a chimney fire. We can assist with the documentation.
Can I still use my fireplace during the restoration process?
No. It’s important to wait until the work is complete and inspected before using your fireplace again.
