Home » Chimney Repairs & Rebuilds
A chimney is one of the most vulnerable masonry structures on your property. Over time rain, snow, wind, ice, thermal movement and moisture can all lead to masonry deterioration. Maintenance and repairs should be performed as needed to prevent minor damage from turning into costly repairs. GRIMCON specializes in professional chimney repair, restoration, rebuilding and maintenance servicing residential and commercial structures in Southern Ontario.
The issues with chimneys usually start out small and allow deterioration to set in if they are not repaired. Hairline cracks in mortar joints, loose bricks, damaged crowns, leaning, water penetration and flashing all can cause problems if they are not repaired. As time goes by, these issues can cause structural damage to your chimney, allow moisture into your chimney and other areas of your home or building and become expensive to repair.
Some of the chimney services we offer are chimney rebuilding, chimney repointing, replacing chimney bricks, fixing chimney crowns, installing chimney caps, chimney flashing repairs, chimney stabilization and full chimney restoration. Each and every project starts with a thorough inspection to determine not only what damage is visible but what underlying issues may be occurring.
Water penetration is the most frequent cause of chimney deterioration. Chimneys are vulnerable to moisture as they rise above the roof exposing them to various elements. With proper maintenance and repairs moisture can be avoided and structural damage can be minimized.
Maintaining your chimney whether it is used for fireplace, furnace, wood burning appliance or simply left as an architectural feature will help ensure safety as well as maintain the value of your property. GRIMCON has years of experience in chimney repairs that not only make your chimney structurally sound but also aesthetically pleasing.
We do everything from patch repairs to rebuilding the entire chimney. Our workmanship is top notch and will stand the test of time even in the harsh weather conditions of Southern Ontario. Protect one of the most vulnerable parts of your masonry and extend the life of your chimney.
