Chimney Masonry Repair

Chimney masonry takes a beating in harsh weather conditions. Over time, masonry can begin to decay and deteriorate to the point that it presents a danger to your home and family. Advanced Chimney Sweep provides chimney masonry repairs and preventative maintenance services to keep your chimney running better and more efficiently all year long.

Masonry Solutions

We have the trained crews and years of hands-on experience needed to solve any chimney masonry problem you’re experiencing.

Damaged Bricks

Cracks and deterioration in chimney bricks allow water to seep in, causing widespread damage. Brick problems throughout the masonry can lead to a leaning or collapsed chimney.

We replace damaged bricks to restore structural strength and beauty.

Leaky Chimneys

Chimney leaks are a masonry problem we address regularly. Leaks can enter through the mortar, or they can occur from damaged flashing or a missing chimney cap.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, our crew can fix the problem that’s causing the leak. We can also install a full-coverage chimney cap.

Chimney Waterproofing

After masonry repairs are made, we recommend having us apply a water sealant to all parts of your chimney’s exterior. We use a product that protects the masonry while allowing naturally occurring moisture to escape through the sealant.

Chimney waterproofing can literally save your chimney. It can also save parts of your home near the chimney that could be affected by leaking or deterioration.

Chimney Inspections

Before any masonry work starts, we’ll perform a thorough chimney inspection to understand:

• Exactly what the problem is
• Why is the problem happening?
• If collateral damage has occurred

We’ll review our inspection report with you and recommend the best approach to address the identified issues.

Crumbling Chimney Mortar

The mortar that holds the bricks together typically has a shorter lifespan than the bricks themselves. We see a lot of chimneys in the Spartanburg, SC and Greenville, SC regions with large spaces where mortar has deteriorated.

We perform tuckpointing to replace deteriorated mortar, making your chimney stable and strong again.
