Common CHIMNEY Structural Issues We Fix
Structural issues can arise from several different areas of damage on your chimney. Some common things to look for are:
- Water infiltration: Cracked or missing mortar joints, damaged flashing, or a missing chimney cap can allow water to seep into the masonry, leading to freeze-thaw damage, spalling bricks, and weakened structural integrity.
- Deteriorated mortar joints: Over time, mortar naturally erodes due to weather exposure. If not repointed, this can compromise the stability of the chimney.
- Cracked or damaged bricks: Spalling (when bricks flake or crumble) can occur from moisture and freezing, weakening the chimney’s structure.
- Foundation settling: Movement in the home’s foundation can lead to leaning chimneys or large cracks in the masonry.
- Missing or damaged chimney crown: A chimney crown helps keep water and debris out. When cracked or missing, water can penetrate and cause internal damage.
- Corroded or damaged flue liner: A compromised liner reduces the chimney's efficiency and allows heat or gases to deteriorate the surrounding masonry.
- Lack of maintenance: Ignoring minor issues over time allows them to grow into larger structural problems.
If you are having any of these issues, now is the time to act. Smaller structural issues can be fixed without rebuilding your whole chimney, but the longer you wait, the more costly your repairs are likely to be.
