    Chimneys are massive free standing structures that are only as solid as the footings
    they are set upon and the Mortar joints, holding them together.
    Without proper maintenance a chimney will eventually loose it’s structural integrity.
    Failure to observe and address chimney issues will entail dangerous possible
    catastrophic results. falling brick could harm humans or animals. If a chimney colapsed,
    the after math would be unthinkable. Safety is always our first priority.

  • Regular chimney maintainance equals chimney longevity.
    It is wise to apply sealant regularly to new and restored masonry to prevent the infiltration
    of water into the mortar joints. When water permeates the brick and mortar it freezes,
    expands and cracks the mortar and brick. This process continues and escalates over time.

What is masonry?

Masonry is the building
of structures from
individual units laid in
and bound together by
mortar. The common
materials of masonry
construction are brick,
stone such as marble,
granite, travertine,
limestone; concrete
block, glass block, and
tile. Masonry is
generally a highly
durable form of
construction. However,
the materials used, the
quality of the mortar and
workmanship, and the
pattern the units are put
in can strongly affect the
durability of the overall
masonry construction
