As simple as chimneys appear to be, they contain a lot of parts, components and areas that can develop problems over time. Chimney repair work is often needed for the masonry, chimney liner, chimney crown and other parts of the system.
When you need expert chimney repair by trained professionals, American Chimney & Fireplace of Louisville, KY, is ready to get to work. We’re a family-owned, family-operated chimney company serving all of Jefferson County, KY, and can help you with a full range of chimney repair services.
Chimney Cap and Chase Top Repair and Replacement
Chimney caps and chimney chase tops protect the flue opening from rain, snow, tree debris and small animals. Some damaged caps and tops can be repaired; others need to be replaced.
Masonry Repair and Tuckpointing
We replace cracked and spalling bricks to restore chimney strength. We perform tuckpointing to refill areas of crumbling mortar.
Chimney Liner Repair and Relining
Chimney liners protect the chimney and the home from heat, flames and combustion gases. We can repair a damaged liner or install a new stainless-steel liner. We provide HeatShield resurfacing for damaged clay tile liners.
Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
A cracked chimney crown will allow water to run down into unseen areas of the chimney structure and begin a cycle of ongoing damage. We patch cracks in crowns and waterproof them. Severely damaged crowns can be rebuilt.
Smoke Chamber Parging
The smoke chamber sits just above the firebox and serves to channel smoke up into the flue. If chamber surfaces are corbelled (stepped), cracked or broken, smoke won’t move efficiently. We provide complete smoke chamber parging to smooth out the surfaces.
Firebox Repair and Restoration
Over time, even the best-built fireboxes will eventually need some repair work. Our crew can repair cracks in the firebox surfaces and refractory panels to restore safety. In extreme cases, we can completely rebuild the firebox.
Chimney Flashing Installation
The gap between the chimney and roof is blocked by chimney flashing. When flashing is rusted, warped or unseated, water can move in and damage the chimney and many parts of the home. We install new flashing the right way.
Chimney Rebuilding
When a chimney has suffered major damage, it often needs to be rebuilt. Our certified chimney masons can rebuild parts of your chimney or the entire chimney from the roof up.
