Chimney & Fireplace Repair
Restore the safety, warmth, and beauty of your home with our expert chimney and fireplace repair services.
Chimney Cleaning | Why Is It Necessary?
Chimneys are more than just a passageway for smoke; they play a vital role in the safety of your home. Over time, creosote – a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood – builds up along the chimney walls.
Even a small amount of creosote can pose a serious fire hazard. Regular chimney sweeping prevents the risk of chimney fires, ensuring that your fireplace continues to operate safely. Our team offers professional and thorough chimney cleaning services. Remove all creosote and debris from your fireplace and keep your home safe.
Chimney & Fireplace Problems We Fix
Chimney Relining
Liners protect the masonry from high temperatures and corrosive byproducts of combustion. If your liner is cracked, separated, or otherwise compromised, our technicians are prepared to repair the system using the best products in the industry.
We can also replace the liner when needed to meet all safety codes. The key to efficient and safe fireplace operation is a correctly installed liner!
Smoktite Smoke Chamber Repair
Over time, the smoke chamber – so named because it sits above the fireplace damper – can settle and develop gaps and holes that prevent proper drafting and pose a fire hazard. We apply Smoktite – a durable ceramic coating – to seal imperfections and return your smoke chamber to its previous safe, heat-resistant condition.
This insulative material has the ability to withstand temperatures as high as 3000º Fahrenheit, guaranteeing long-lasting protection for your fireplace!
Chimney Waterproofing Treatments
Water damage is one of the main reasons why chimneys deteriorate prematurely. Our chimney waterproofing services include professional-grade vapor-permeable sealants that keep water out while still letting your chimney breathe.
Our treatments will protect your fireplace from the extreme and fluctuating temperatures of New Jersey so that your chimney remains at its best whatever the season is.
Installation of Chimney Chase Covers
Chimney chase covers protect chimneys and serve as a guard against water entry. We install and replace high-quality, stainless steel, or copper chase covers that are full-size and complement your chimney.
Firebox Repairs
The firebox can deteriorate over time from the extreme heat of a fire burning inside it. If there are cracks or breaks in the firebricks that form the firebox, inefficiency and safety hazards occur.
Here at Expert Chimney & Roofing, our experts offer firebox repair and rebuilding services that will restore both the charm and functionality of your fireplace!
Chimney Leak Repairs
- Water leakage is one of the most common issues when it comes to chimneys and fireplaces. If your chimney starts leaking, eventually this may result in significant structural weakening if not treated promptly.
- Some of the common causes of leakages in chimneys include deteriorating flashing, cracked crowns, or mortar joints wearing out. At Infinite Construction, we offer full diagnostic services to identify the cause of the leak, while making repair as needed:
- Chimney Flashing Repair: The flashing at the juncture between your chimney and roof prevents water from seeping in. We will replace the damaged flashing and seal it for an effective watertight barrier.
- Chimney Crown Repair: The chimney crown covers the top of your chimney, protecting it from rain, snow, and debris. If the crown is cracked or worn-out, we will repair or replace it in no time.
- Chimney Cap Replacement: A chimney cap keeps rain and animals out of your flue. We provide durable chimney cap repairs and installations for long-lasting protection.
Flue Liner Repair & Replacemnet
An important factor in your chimney system is the flue liner, which safely guides gasses and smoke out of your home. When a flue liner is damaged, dangerous conditions can arise, including a heightened risk of fire.
We recommend replacing such liners with durable stainless steel liners, which are resistant to heat. Our team offers professional flue liner repair solutions to quickly seal cracks and gaps inside the liner, restoring its integrity.
Masonry & Mortar Joint Repairs
As masonry and mortar joints age, they may deteriorate over time from constant wear and tear due to weather conditions. At Expert Chimney & Roofing, we pride ourselves on our tuckpointing work. Our tuckpointing service involves replacing the old, damaged mortar with new durable materials to ensure the structural integrity of your chimney.
We also repair or replace spalling bricks that may have been caused by water infiltration and freezing cycles. Remember, maintaining your masonry stops further damage and protects against chimney leaning and/or collapse!
