When a chimney is damaged or in disrepair, it may not operate as efficiently as you'd like. Worse, it could pose a danger to your Simpsonville, SC, home and everyone living in it.
Advanced Chimney Sweep provides chimney repair services by experienced and qualified technicians throughout Simpsonville, SC, and all of Greenville County, SC. Here are some of the ways we can help you.
Chimney Masonry Repair and Tuckpointing
Masonry can be damaged by several things, including:
- Severe storms
- House-settling
- Low-quality bricks and mortar used in building the chimney
- Shoddy construction and unskilled repair work
- Water leaks that spread throughout the masonry
- Old age
Whatever has caused the problem with your masonry, our Certified Chimney Professionals can fix it. We offer brick replacement and tuckpointing to replace areas of deteriorated mortar between the bricks. We can also apply a waterproofing sealant to your chimney’s exterior. In cases of extreme damage, we can rebuild the chimney.
Chimney Liner Replacement in Simpsonville, SC
An old, damaged chimney liner will allow heat, flames, and dangerous combustion gases to escape. There are two ways we can solve this problem:
- By installing a sturdy new stainless-steel chimney liner
- With the HeatShield method that completely relines the flue
Both of these chimney repair services in Simpsonville, SC, carry a lifetime warranty.
Chimney Caps and Chase Tops
Caps sit atop masonry chimneys, while chase tops protect chimney chases that draft manufactured fireplaces. If either component is damaged, your flue may be open to rain, debris, and small animals.
We repair and replace chimney caps and chimney chase tops. For cap replacements, we recommend a full-coverage chimney cap for the ultimate protection.
Chimney Repair for Concrete Crowns
The concrete slab at the top of your chimney is called the chimney crown. Its job is to protect the bricks below it and keep rain and debris out of the interior areas of the chimney.
Advanced Chimney Sweep works throughout Simpsonville, SC, to repair cracked crowns and rebuild those that are deteriorated. Our custom crowns are angled to allow water to run off, and we use an elastomeric sealant to keep water out of cracks that may form over time.
Chimney Flashing Repair and Replacement
Flashing strips cover the gap between the chimney and the roof. If the flashing at your Simpsonville, SC, home is warped, rusted, or unseated, water can seep into the gap and damage parts of the roof and the chimney masonry below.
We can reattach flashing and install new flashing to protect against future water damage.
Chimney Inspections in Simpsonville, SC
Before we start any chimney repair job, we’ll perform a thorough inspection. This will tell us four things:
- Exactly what the problem is
- How extensive it is
- Whether or not other parts of the chimney have been affected by it
- The type of chimney repairs that are needed to solve the problem correctly
If you live outside Simpsonville, SC, or our other service areas, we recommend that you never let a chimney worker do anything to your chimney without first doing an inspection and showing you the inspection report. Certain types of chimney repair work can cause even bigger problems if the technician isn't fully aware of the chimney's condition.
