🧠 FAQ — Chimney Maintenance & Repairs

Q: How do I know if my chimney needs repairs?
Common signs include crumbling mortar, water leaks, smoke backing up, unusual odors, or visible cracks. If anything feels off, a professional inspection is recommended.

Q: Can small chimney cracks really lead to serious problems?
Yes. Even hairline cracks can let moisture in, which expands during freeze-thaw cycles and causes major structural damage over time.

Q: Do you offer emergency chimney repairs?
Yes — if you’re experiencing leaks, major drafts, or safety issues, we prioritize urgent repairs to prevent further damage.

Q: How long do chimney repairs usually take?
Simple repairs may take 1–2 hours; larger masonry or structural repairs may require multiple visits depending on complexity and weather conditions.

Q: What kind of maintenance should I do annually?
We recommend yearly inspections, checking caps and flashings, and ensuring your chimney is protected from water. Routine maintenance helps avoid expensive repairs later.
