Does Your Toronto Chimney Need A Repair Or Rebuild?
Does Your Chimney Need Repair Or Rebuild In Toronto?
Chimneys are the area of homes that are most exposed to the harsh weather of southern Ontario. Ice and snow saturate the bricks from all sides and, after years of wear and tear, either or a repair or a full rebuild will be necessary. A trained masonry professional, from a reputable company, should do an onsite inspection of your chimney to determine whether or not it needs some attention. To begin with, you should take a look at your own chimney and look for signs that it may need some work done. Things to look for, that can often be seen from ground level, include:
- The chimney is leaning or twisted
- Crumbling, flaking or spalling brick faces
- Missing mortar
- Cracks in the mortar or brick faces
- Shifting in the chimney cap
- Cracked or flaking flue tiles
How Much Will Chimney Repair Cost?
The cost of chimney repair is completely dependant on the extent of the repair needed as well as the degree of difficulty for safely accessing the chimney. With a minor repair, a ladder can often be used for safe access and a repair can be hundreds of dollars to perform. If rebuilding your chimney is necessary, scaffolding will be required and the cost of material greatly increases. The best thing to do is get an in depth quote to completely understand the process and costs involved.
