Complete Chimney Repair Solutions for Your Pinckney Home

We provide a full range of expert services to restore the safety, integrity, and appearance of your chimney.

Solving Persistent Chimney Leaks

A leak originating from a chimney can be difficult to trace. Our experts conduct a thorough investigation of the entire chimney structure—including the flashing, the crown, the brickwork, and the surrounding shingles—to find the true source of the water intrusion and provide a lasting, watertight repair.

Brick Repair and Professional Tuckpointing

Michigan’s winter weather is the number one enemy of your chimney’s mortar. The freeze-thaw cycle causes mortar joints to crack, crumble, and deteriorate, compromising the chimney’s stability. Our professional tuckpointing service replaces this failing mortar with a durable, new compound, restoring the strength and beauty of your brickwork.

Chimney Crown and Cap Repair

The concrete slab at the top of your chimney, known as the crown, is its shield against rain and snow. We expertly repair cracks in the crown to prevent water absorption or can completely rebuild a severely damaged crown. We also install chimney caps to keep water, debris, and animals out of your flue.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chimney Maintenance

Why is the mortar on my chimney crumbling and falling out?

This is a direct result of our Michigan climate. Porous mortar absorbs moisture from rain and snow. When the temperature drops below freezing, that moisture expands as it turns to ice, pushing the mortar apart from within. This repeated freeze-thaw cycle is what causes the mortar to crack, crumble, and eventually fail.

What is the difference between a chimney crown and a chimney cap?

The crown is the permanent concrete or mortar slab that forms the top surface of the chimney’s brick structure, designed to shed water. A chimney cap, on the other hand, is a metal cover that is installed on top of the flue opening itself to keep out rain and animals, a device highly recommended by experts like the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA).

Is a small crack in my chimney crown a big deal?

Yes, it should be addressed immediately. Even a hairline crack provides an entry point for water. This water will saturate the masonry below and will freeze and expand in the winter, making the crack bigger and leading to more rapid deterioration of the entire chimney structure.
