Complete Chimney Fix Services

Full Range of Repair Solutions

Chimney masonry repair addresses cracking, crumbling, or damaged brickwork and mortar joints. This includes repointing, brick replacement, and crown repair that stops water infiltration and structural deterioration.

Leak repair involves identifying where water is entering – often through damaged flashing, cracked crowns, or deteriorated masonry – and fixing it properly. Many Burrillville homes deal with chimney leaks during heavy rains or snow melts.

Our service also includes fireplace restoration, chimney liner installation and repair, and complete chimney rebuilds when needed. We handle wood, pellet, and gas stove installations, plus any structural work required to bring older chimney systems up to current safety standards.

How much does chimney repair typically cost in Burrillville?

Chimney repair costs vary significantly based on what needs fixing. Minor mortar repointing might run a few hundred dollars, while major masonry reconstruction or complete rebuilds can cost several thousand. The key factors are the extent of damage, accessibility, and materials needed. Most Burrillville homeowners find that addressing problems early costs much less than waiting until structural damage spreads. A free estimate gives you the exact scope and cost for your specific situation, with no surprises or pressure tactics.

What are the signs that my chimney needs professional repair?

Water stains on walls or ceilings near your chimney are the biggest red flag – this means water is getting in somewhere and needs immediate attention. Cracked or crumbling mortar, loose or missing bricks, and white staining on the outside of your chimney also indicate problems. Inside your home, look for rust on the damper, water in the firebox after rain, or strong odors coming from the fireplace. If your chimney crown is cracked or your flashing looks damaged, these need professional evaluation before they cause expensive interior damage.

How long does a typical chimney repair take to complete?

Simple repairs like repointing mortar joints or fixing minor flashing issues usually take one to two days. More extensive masonry work or structural repairs can take several days to a week, depending on the scope and weather conditions. Complete chimney rebuilds obviously take longer – typically one to two weeks. The timeline also depends on material availability and drying time for mortar work. During your free estimate, you’ll get a realistic timeframe for your specific repair, including any factors that might affect scheduling.

Should I repair or rebuild my old chimney?

This depends on the extent of damage and the chimney’s overall condition. If the foundation and most of the structure are sound, targeted repairs often make the most sense financially. However, if you’re dealing with multiple issues – structural problems, extensive water damage, code violations, or a chimney that’s already been patched multiple times – rebuilding might be more cost-effective long-term. A certified inspection can determine whether your chimney’s problems are isolated issues or symptoms of broader structural failure that requires complete reconstruction.

Do you handle emergency chimney repairs in Burrillville?

Yes, emergency situations like active leaks, structural damage, or safety hazards get priority attention. If water is actively entering your home through chimney damage, or if there’s a safety concern with your fireplace system, contact us immediately. While some emergency repairs involve temporary measures to prevent further damage until permanent repairs can be completed, we can often address urgent issues quickly. Having a local team with over twenty years of experience means we understand which problems need immediate attention and which can wait for proper scheduling.

Are your chimney repair technicians properly certified and insured?

All our technicians are CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America, which is the industry standard for professional chimney work. This certification requires extensive training in chimney systems, safety protocols, and proper repair techniques. We are fully insured and have been operating with the same experienced team since 2000. CSI certification isn’t just about technical knowledge – it also covers understanding local building codes, safety requirements, and industry best practices that protect both your home and your investment in the repair work.
