Does Your Chimney Need Repair Or Rebuild In Oakville?
Many chimneys, depending on the quality of the original construction, will need repair or rebuilding after years and years of harsh Canadian winter weather. Freeze and thaw of the water that saturates chimneys in the colder months of the year causes the bricks and mortar of chimneys to degrade and eventually fall apart. If you are wondering wether or not your chimney is in need of repair, some signs you can look for from ground level are:
- Leaning or alterations of the chimney’s structure
- Spalling brick faces
- Deteriorated or missing mortar
- Movement in the chimney cap
- Cracked or flaking flue tiles
How Much Will Chimney Work Cost?
The cost of chimney repair is decided by the extent of work needed as well as the difficulty level of safely being able to perform the repairs. Small repairs can be done from a ladder, often, and can sometimes take a few hours. If the chimney needs a larger repair, or a rebuild, scaffolding will be required and this increases the scope.
