Many homes have a chimney, and certainly every home with a fireplace or wood-burning stove should have one, so the fumes from the smoke can be vented instead of inhaled by the members of your household. But when your chimney starts to show signs of not working properly, like damage to the structure, cracking, melting, stains, damage to the flashing, or even poorly venting the smoke from your fire, it might be time to consider chimney repair.
In that case, then, you’ll want to know what to expect from chimney repair.
The first step is an inspection. Sometimes, damage to the chimney is obvious and easy to spot. Other times, though, the problem is more subtle. In order to make sure that all of the issues with your chimney are identified, whether they are obvious, hidden, or a combination of both, we will first visit your property to do an inspection. Once the inspection is done, we will discuss with you what we’ve found and give you a cost estimate for our chimney repair services.
Once we begin your chimney repairs, the average job will take 1-2 days, though we will give you a more accurate estimate when we complete our inspection of your unique situation and roof shape.
The most important thing to remember when looking into chimney repair is that, due to chimneys being features that reach up onto the roof, it is always best to hire experts trained in working on roofs, for the safest and quickest experience.
