How we approach chimney damage in Flagami
Open mortar joints and where they lead
Mortar is meant to be the softer, sacrificial part of a masonry wall. Over time joints erode, crack or pull away from the brick, and each opening lets water further in. Joint damage often shows first on the faces that take the most weather and on the courses near the top.
When the problem is limited to joints, chimney tuckpointing is the focused repair. Where bricks are also broken, mixed masonry work fits better. We describe which joints are affected and why, so you can see whether a small area or a whole face needs attention before you decide.
When the same repair keeps failing
A crack that returns after being filled, or a leak that comes back after new sealant, tells us the cause was not addressed. Repeating the same fix tends to give the same result.
Tell us what was done before, when, and how long it held. We look past the failed repair to the reason behind it, which may be water from a different part, movement or a mismatched material. The new estimate explains what will be done differently this time and why.
Maintenance visits between repairs
A maintenance visit is a planned look at the chimney when nothing is obviously wrong. We check the top, the metal parts, the joints we can reach and any area repaired before, and we note small changes while they are still small.
You decide how often a visit makes sense for your chimney and how you use it. Each visit ends with the findings explained, and anything that needs work is priced separately. There is no plan or membership to join.
A flue top with nothing over it
Without a cap, rain falls straight down the flue, and leaves, twigs and animals can get in. Water that reaches the damper and the smoke chamber can rust metal and wash out mortar inside the chimney.
We check whether each flue is capped and whether the cap fits and is secure. Adding or replacing a cap is often a small job, and chimney cap replacement covers the fitting in detail. The estimate lists it separately from any damage the open flue has already caused.

Chimney damage and repair, common questions
What happens during the free inspection for chimney damage?
We look at the accessible parts, from the fireplace opening to the top of the chimney, and connect what you noticed with the part behind it. You hear the findings on site, then receive a written estimate that lists each repair separately.
Do you give prices before any work begins?
Yes. The written estimate prices each item before you approve anything, with no hidden fees added afterwards. If the job changes, the new item is priced and left for your decision.
Do you offer maintenance visits after a repair?
Yes. A maintenance visit lets us look at the repaired areas and the rest of the chimney again. Small defects are then found while they are still small and simple to fix.
