Chimney Repair & Repointing

Masonry chimneys are typically constructed of brick, concrete blocks, or stone. Freezing and thawing cycles can cause the masonry walls of your chimney to degrade over time. The mortar joints between the stone or bricks may begin to flake, wash out or crack. Sometimes a chimney which was built to vent one type of furnace or fireplace may have been connected to new one. Differences between the new and old system can result in increased condensation and deterioration of your chimney's inner walls. Problems with your chimney can result in poisonous gases leaking back into your home or building and chimney repair should be tended to quickly.

Repointing of the mortar joints and other chimney repair techniques can be used to repair damage. As a chimney repair company, Alan Kunsman Roofing's trained, certified, expert masons can diagnose your problem, provide you with a detailed estimate, and fix your problem. Contact us today.

Rebuilding

Masonry chimneys are typically constructed of brick, concrete blocks, or stone. Freezing and thawing cycles, along with other factors, can cause the walls of your chimney to degrade over time. The mortar joints between the stone or bricks may begin to flake, wash out or crack. The stone, brick, or blocks may also become cracked or degraded. In cases where the chimney is damaged beyond repair, rebuilding the chimney may be necessary.

Waterproofing

Water infiltration into the interior of your home or building is often detected by the presence of water, stained ceilings, or an unpleasant odor. Beyond the visible signs, a multitude of problems can occur. Deteriorated wood, plaster or drywall provide an excellent medium for the growth of mold and mildew. If detected early enough, the easiest, most cost effective resolution is the proper selection and application of a waterproof coating and sealant. Accurately detecting the source of any leak can be very difficult, but is critical to solving the problem. Our professional waterproofing experts can perform water tests, infrared scans, moisture probing and use other techniques to find and solve your leak.
