Professional Local, East Shoreham Chimney Contractors

The chimney is one of the most under appreciated components of a house. The chimney tends to not receive the thought or the concern usually afforded other concerning household systems. Chimneys are far from the quiet, passive black holes that are ‘just there’ that most clients assume them to be. Harmful or deteriorated flue liners of masonry chimneys may become soft, cracked or otherwise damaged – such that it/they no longer have the ability to control & contain the scary by-products of combustion.

Imprecisely lined chimneys might cause a number of expensive structural and cosmetic problems for the consumer & also create potentially essential safety hazards. A plethora of masonry chimney products (except for authentic stone) suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. While most stone is not affected by water penetration, large amounts of mortar are required to bond the stone properly. Chimney caps, also called rain covers, are probably the most inexpensive preventive measure that a client should employ to prevent water penetration and leaks to the chimney. Defective mortar joints or the use of shoddy mortar or brick will greatly increase the tendency to absorb & carry water to the interior of the masonry chimney.
