Professional Chimney Repair in Milan, MI

On many of Milan’s beautiful homes, the chimney is a defining architectural feature, adding character and charm. It is also, however, the single most complex and vulnerable point on your entire roof. Subjected to the full force of Michigan’s weather, from intense summer sun to brutal freeze-thaw cycles, a chimney’s masonry and metal components can degrade over time, creating a prime entry point for water into your home.

At New Roof, Inc., we are Milan’s trusted specialists for all types of chimney repair. We possess the crucial dual expertise in both roofing and masonry, allowing us to accurately diagnose the source of any issue and provide a comprehensive, lasting solution. Don’t let a small crack or a minor leak compromise your home’s structure. Contact our experienced team at (734) 665-5555 for a thorough chimney evaluation.

Chimney Repair Milan, MI

A Full Suite of Chimney Repair Services for Milan Homeowners

We are equipped to solve any problem your chimney may be facing, restoring its safety, function, and appearance.

Chimney Leak Diagnosis and Repair

Our team acts as “leak detectives,” meticulously inspecting every component of your chimney and the surrounding roof area to pinpoint the exact cause of water intrusion. We then perform a targeted, durable repair that solves the problem at its source, whether it’s the flashing, the crown, or the brickwork itself.

Masonry Restoration and Tuckpointing

The constant expansion and contraction from winter freezes can destroy the mortar between your bricks, causing them to become loose and unstable. Our expert tuckpointing service involves carefully removing this deteriorated mortar and replacing it with a new, professional-grade compound, restoring your chimney’s structural integrity and weather resistance.

Chimney Crown Sealing and Rebuilding

The concrete “lid” on your chimney, known as the crown, is its first line of defense against precipitation. We can seal the hairline cracks that lead to water saturation or, if necessary, completely rebuild a severely damaged crown to ensure water is properly shed away from the flue and masonry.

The New Roof, Inc. Difference: The Right Expertise for the Job

Fixing a chimney correctly requires a holistic understanding of the entire roofing system. Our unique, integrated approach is what sets us apart.

We Find the Real Problem

Many contractors only see one part of the puzzle. A mason might blame the roof, and a roofer might blame the bricks. Because we are experts in both, we can accurately identify the true failure point. This prevents the frustrating and costly cycle of repeat repairs that often results from a misdiagnosis.

Preserving Your Home’s Character

We understand the importance of maintaining the aesthetic of your Milan home. When performing masonry repairs, we take great care to match the color and texture of the existing mortar and bricks as closely as possible, preserving the unique character of your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Care

What are the white, powdery stains on my chimney’s brick?

This is a common issue called efflorescence. It consists of salt deposits that are left behind when water that has been absorbed into the brick evaporates. While often cosmetic, it is a clear visual indicator that your masonry is absorbing too much moisture and may need to be sealed with a water repellent after any necessary repairs are made.

Should I have my chimney waterproofed?

After all cracks are sealed and necessary mortar repairs (tuckpointing) are complete, applying a specialized, vapor-permeable water repellent is an excellent final step. This allows the chimney to breathe out any internal moisture while preventing water from being absorbed, which, as the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) explains, is a leading cause of deterioration.
