Cracks in mortar joints, spalling bricks, and deteriorating crowns are some of the most frequent problems we encounter in chimney repair. If ignored, these issues tend to worsen each winter. The freeze-thaw cycles take a toll on masonry, and once water seeps into any cracks, the deterioration can happen rapidly. When it comes to chimney repair at this stage, we focus on repointing the mortar, replacing any damaged bricks, and ensuring the crown is restored to prevent further water intrusion. Our first step is to evaluate the full extent of the damage, then we address only what truly needs fixing—no more, no less. If you’re considering chimney repair in Franklin, we’re here to help!
