Does Your Chimney Need Repair Or Rebuild In Hamilton?

Homeowners should inspect the outside of their home every so often to see if any areas are in need of repair. The chimney, which is a structure most homes will have, bear the brunt of the weather that causes deterioration of the masonry units it is made out of. While most people won’t go up on their roof to take a close look at their chimney, you can take a look from the ground. What you should look for is:

• Leaning of the chimney structure
• Pieces missing or falling off of the brick faces
• Missing mortar
• Cracks in the chimney structure
• Disturbances in the chimney cap
• Cracked or flaking flue tiles

How Much Will Chimney Repair Cost?

The cost involved in repairing a chimney will always depend on the extent of the repair and the access needed to safely perform the repair. If there are a few spots to touch up, and the chimney is near to the ground or can be accessed by ladder, the repair can be simple and inexpensive. If a rebuild is necessary, the chimney will have to be accessed with scaffolding which will increase the cost.
