Signs You Need Chimney Repair

New Haven homeowners often notice symptoms like crumbling mortar, water stains on ceilings, tilting stacks, or a white, powdery residue (efflorescence). These signs indicate water infiltration or compromised masonry. Ignoring them allows freeze-thaw cycles to worsen damage, eventually risking structural failure or interior leaks. If you notice smoke backing up, bricks loosening, or flaking clay inside the firebox, it’s time to schedule an inspection and repair estimate.

Our Repair Process

1. Evaluation: We inspect the chimney top to bottom and identify both visible and hidden damage.
2. Plan: You receive a detailed estimate with repair photos and scope options.
3. Repair: Our technicians perform all masonry work using proper mixes, sealants, and waterproofing.
4. Protection: Finished repairs are sealed or capped to prevent future water intrusion.
5. Warranty: We stand behind all masonry work performed in New Haven, CT.

Preventative Maintenance After Repairs
