Chimney Repair Rosemont
Having a chimney is great because a chimney means you have a fireplace. Not only can fireplaces raise the value of your home but they can also help you lower your heating bills during the winter. However, owning a chimney also comes with it an inherent risk of damage to that chimney. Chimneys can catch on fire, they can be invaded by animals and they can be destroyed by water throughout the year. Here are some of the warning signs you might see if your chimney is collapsing:
Water is leaking in – If you are sitting at home and all the sudden hear the unmistakeable dripping sound of water falling in, you can check your chimney. This means that you have holes and openings in your bricks up top.
Water in the fireplace – Along with hearing the sound of water coming in, if you go and light a fire and the logs are wet or the glass is wet this can also be a sign that your chimney is not as sealed as well as it should be.
Brick White Streaks – When you are looking at chimney are there white streaks in the bricks? This is a sign of moisture in your bricks. Moisture getting trapped in the bricks is the sure sign that your chimney needs to be sealed through tuckpointing or another process. Anywhere on your house, on your chimney, or on any brick structure you might have if you see these white streaks it is time to call a local chimney expert in Rosemont, Illinois before the damage gets worse.
Falling bricks – If you are walking around your house and on the ground you see pieces of brick that means they probably feel from your chimney. If you notice pieces of brick in your gutters this is also a sign that your chimney is failing,
Discolored Joints – The joints in between your bricks can tell you a lot about how old your chimney is. If the joints look good then that means your chimney can still be relatively young. If your joints are discolored or wasting away, then you might have a problem to solve. Remember a local Rosemont chimney specialist is always there to help. Call them when you notice something instead of waiting because you can take steps like tuckpointing to help prevent catastrophic failure of your chimney.
Breaking Flue Liner – If you are noticing pieces of tile inside your fireplace call us IMMEDIATELY! This is a good sign that your flue liner is failing. The flue liner prevents heat and fire from damaging your house. Make sure there are no tiles
Wall/Paint Damage – Is the wall area surrounding your chimney showing signs of damage? This means that you have a leak in the roof flashing, holes in the bricks and it is getting into the walls. This can cause a bigger problem if left untreated and you should rely on a professional brick service to look immediately.
Crumbling Masonry – If you see the bricks failing, not being able to support the weight, or a melted or broken crown then it is time to reach out to a local chimney service.
Again, regardless if it is Mark’s Tuckpointing or another local chimney expert in Rosemont, call someone to look at the issue as soon as you notice something. There are relatively easy and quick fixes for preventing further damage. If left untreated you could be opening yourself to thousands of dollars of repair between water and fire damage to your home!
