Chimney Repair/Caps
Protect your home from potential water damage!
The elements are rough on your chimney, the brick itself is porous and breathes as well as takes in water. If the temperature drops quickly this can cause the water to freeze inside the brick and eventually this will deteriorate the brick as well as the mortar around the bricks. Once this deterioration happens water can start penetrating places it shouldn’t be and cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage. Common signs of Masonry damage include: cracks, gaps, and holes in mortar joints between the brick; cracked, popping, or spalling brick; discolored brick whitish or darker than normal; leaning chimneys. Here at Chimney Commandos we can fix those problem areas with new brick and mortar to help the longevity of your chimney.
We Fix Leaky Chimneys!
We have experience locating and fixing chimney leaks and we pride ourselves on providing long-lasting, effective solutions and repairs. Not only will we find and fix your leak we offer preventive maintenance solutions that will keep your chimney leak free! Our leak repair and prevention services include all of the following:
Chimney Waterproofing
Chimney Commandos uses a product called ChimneySaver Water Repellent. This water repellent provides a non-glossy, 100% vapor-permeable waterproof membrane that keeps water out and keeps your brick and mortar looking great and standing strong year after year.
Chimney Cap Installation
Quality chimney caps play a very important role in keeping your chimneys leak-free. If your cap has rusted, blown off, or is otherwise damaged or missing, water, animals, and debris has 24/7 access to your chimney flue. Here at Chimney Commandos we install a wide variety of stainless steel or copper chimney caps, which are built to last and provide decades of protection. Whether you have one flue or multiple flues we have the right solution for you!
Chase Cover Installation
Wooden or vinyl-sided chimney chases need protection against water too, and the chase cover is designed to provide it. Chase covers installed by majority of home builders in this country use cheap galvanized steel to keep costs down and increase profits. This is great for them not so much for you. Galvanized steel doesn’t take long to corrode and rust giving water an entrypoint into your wooden chase which after enough exposure will rot the wood and cause molding. Get the protection your chimney needs by installing a stainless steel chase cover which will last for decades upon decades looking as new as the day it was installed, ensuring no water can enter your chimney.
Crown Repair and Rebuild
Like the chase cover, the crown of a masonry chimney is designed to close off the top of the chimney and keep water out of the system. But even the best build concrete crowns will eventually crack and let water in. Whether you need your crown repaired or you need a new crown built, we can take care of it and waterproof your crown with CrownCoat for long-lasting protection.
