Chimney liners direct smoke from your fireplace up through the flue. While older liners are typically made of ceramic tiles and clay, modern options often feature metal. Cracks or damage in the liner can cause indoor fires or excessive smoke. Our expert team at Chimney Goat can adeptly reconstruct or reinstall chimney liners, ensuring your system operates smoothly and safely.
The chimney crown, a cement layer atop the flue, plays a vital role in blocking water from entering the chimney. Over time, wear from use and severe weather can damage this layer. We meticulously remove the deteriorated crown, clean the chimney’s top, and install a fresh concrete crown over the bricks, creating a durable, water-resistant shield for your chimney.
For aging brick chimneys, particularly in historic homes, repointing and repairing bricks is essential to preserve alignment and strength. Our brick repointing service at Chimney Goat reinforces your chimney’s bricks, preventing collapse and maintaining structural integrity.
After rebuilding or restoring your chimney, we apply a protective chimney saver layer or waterproof coating to guard against water damage and leaks. Even if reconstruction isn’t needed, our waterproofing service can halt the progression of existing wear and tear.
