Chimney Separating from House

Chimney Separating from House

When a chimney begins separating from the house, it is a serious structural and safety concern that requires immediate attention. Separation often indicates foundation issues, settling, or failing mortar, which can cause the chimney to lean, crack, or even collapse.

A leaning chimney not only risks falling and damaging the home, but also creates gaps where water can penetrate, leading to rot, mold, and interior damage. It also compromises the venting system, allowing dangerous gases like carbon monoxide to leak indoors. In many cases, the safest and most effective solution is a complete chimney replacement, ensuring structural stability, proper venting, and long-term safety for the home and its occupants.

Separation signals major structural failure.

Leaning chimneys risk collapse and property damage.

Gaps allow water infiltration, rot, and mold.

Compromised venting can leak carbon monoxide.

Full replacement ensures safety and stability.

These guys are pros.The people in the office pick up the phone (unlike many other contractors) and are straightforward and friendly. The crew explained my options and were very clear about everything they were doing. The boss (over the phone) cleared up any issues I had and did everything to have me as a happy customer. The chimney cap looks perfect and the upgraded water heater and boiler lines look great.Great quotes, great price, great work, friendly people.I wonder if they do other work besides chimneys?

How we work:

Step#1
Contact us
You're not sure if you need chimney services, or what to expect if you do. It's normal to have a lot of questions about chimney services- after all, it's not a service that most people need on a regular basis. That's why we offer free estimates and consultations so that you can get all your questions answered before moving forward with any work. We understand that your satisfaction is our number one priority, which is why we work hard to provide quality chimney services that meet your needs and expectations. We want to make the process as easy as possible for you, from start to finish!
Step#2
Proposal
You have a problem that needs to be fixed but you're not sure how or where to start.

We'll do a full evaluation of what needs done and how it can be accomplished. We'll give you our proposal including plans, timelines for completion as well as the guarantee that if any issues arise during this process we have an answer or solution at hand!
Step#3
Construction
It's stressful to have people in and out of your house all the time. And it's even more stressful when you're not sure what they're doing or when they're going to be done.  It's hard enough keeping your sanity with construction going on day and night, but then to have to worry about the clean-up crew coming? Ugh. We take care of everything for you so that you can relax and enjoy your new space without any stress. You don't have to lift a finger except to tell us what you want. We'll work around your schedule, do all the dirty work, and leave your home just as clean (or cleaner) than when we found it.
