Whenever possible we will always repair a chimney before recommending a  rebuild. Chimney repairs can be as simple as removing cracked or loose mortar in brick, stone or concrete blocks. Otherwise known as tuck pointing. However, if the mortar joints and structure are unstable a partial or full chimney rebuild may be necessary.

We’re often asked what caused the deterioration of my chimney? Although every chimney project is unique, it’s typically a combination of circumstances that cause the decay. For starters, the harsh weather in Chicago weakens the mortar eventually revealing cracks in the brick or stone. This ultimately results in water from rain or snow melt to penetrate the material and foundation of your chimney. The secondary cause of chimney damage come from frequent use and / or lack of maintenance, such as waterproofing.
