Chimney Repair

Chances are you don’t regularly inspect your chimney, so damages and other signs of corrosion may go unnoticed for an extended period. The signs aren’t always obvious, either, making them difficult to notice if you aren’t actively looking. Here are a few signs that your chimney may be breaking down and require repair.

• If you notice that any bricks are loose or chipped, you may require professional chimney repair services. Call a team of pros if you notice any damaged masonry. 
• If any metal or damper is rusted, you should call a professional to examine the extent of the damage. Sometimes, the damage may be significant enough to warrant chimney repair services. 
• If you have a cracked chimney crown, your chimney may be susceptible to sustain more damage from the elements. Call Select Construction Company if you have a cracked chimney crown. 
• Occasionally, mortar joints can deteriorate. This is a common sign that you need chimney repair services. 
• Another common sign that you need repair services is if wallpaper near the chimney is peeling. This means it is time for chimney repair services. 
• If you notice any white discoloration, it must be taken care of as soon as possible. If not, premature deterioration of the chimney is likely to occur as well as other moisture-related issues.
• If you begin to notice thin slices of chimney tile collecting in the fireplace, this could be an indication that the flue is damaged. Our team can help inspect your chimney flue to determine any problems.
• If the surface of your chimney is starting to peel or flake off, you should have it repaired as soon as possible to prevent complete destruction of the chimney. 

If you notice any of these signs, you may be overdue for chimney repair services. Before using your chimney, it's important to make sure it is safe. By having it inspected annually, you can become more aware of issues that you may not have known about or seen. Creosote may build up over time and this could cause a fire risk, especially if you do not have proper ventilation. An inspection can make you aware of repairs that need to be made and reduce damage to your chimney and your house.
