Rusted Damper or Firebox Damage
Discovering visible rust on your fireplace damper or firebox is concerning. This isn’t a normal or safe occurrence; it indicates water penetration into the fireplace, typically through the flue. Addressing this promptly is crucial for your family’s safety. Lone Star Chimney’s technicians specialize in resolving such issues and repairing or replacing damaged components to ensure your fireplace remains safe.
Brick and Mortar Damage
Over time, the bricks in your chimney absorb moisture, leading to degradation and deterioration of the masonry. Signs such as chips, loose bricks, or bricks shifting out of place indicate damage. If you observe any such changes, it’s essential to seek chimney damage repair services from the specialists at Lone Star Chimney.
Mortar plays a vital role in binding bricks together. Like bricks, mortar joints also absorb moisture, which can cause them to deteriorate and fail, compromising the chimney’s stability. Lone Star Chimney’s skilled technicians can identify the moisture source, rectify it, and proceed with masonry repairs. Additionally, they can address any damage to the fireplace bricks, ensuring the structural integrity of your fireplace is maintained.
Missing or Damaged Chimney Crown
The chimney crown serves a crucial purpose beyond aesthetic appeal; it’s a vital safety component. When cracked or damaged, it can threaten the chimney’s proper functioning.
A damaged crown exposes the flue to the elements, leading to increased downdrafts and other operational issues. Lone Star Chimney technicians can address this by waterproofing or replacing the crown, along with any other required chimney repairs, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
