Chimney Repair and Restoration MN

Like all structures that are exposed to the elements, chimneys need repair, but seldom, if ever, does an entire chimney need to be replaced. Flaking and cracking of the bricks in the top 2 or 3 feet is most common on chimneys built after 1960. Many of these chimneys were built with bricks from torn down buildings. These bricks were not made for exterior use where they would be exposed to a combination of moisture and freezing conditions. The problem can be solved by replacing the bad bricks with a matching brick meant for exterior application in a northern climate. The uppermost flue tile section is replaced at the same time. If the flashing around the base of the chimney is allowing a leak, that is a separate matter and is handled by a roofer.
