CHIMNEY REPAIR

At GUAILLAS ROOFING INC, we offer professional and comprehensive chimney repair services for clients in Binghamton, NY; Cortland, NY; Owego, NY; Endwell, NY; Vestal, NY; Johnson City, NY; and Endicott, NY. Chimneys exposed to the elements can, over time, suffer issues such as cracks, mortar loss, water infiltration, or smoke leaks, which compromise not only their function but also the safety of the entire property. Our team of experts diagnoses and restores each chimney component to return its integrity and efficiency.

Timely repairs not only prevent accidents like fires or carbon monoxide poisoning, but also protect the roof structure and avoid progressive deterioration from moisture infiltration.

What Does Our Chimney Repair Service Include?

  • Detailed Chimney Inspection: We perform a complete evaluation to identify the source of problems—from visible cracks and mortar wear to internal leaks or issues with the chimney crown.
  • Crack Repair and Loose Mortar: We replace or refill damaged mortar between the bricks using repointing techniques, which strengthens the structure and improves resistance to weather.
  • Replacement or Repair of Damaged Bricks: In cases of severe deterioration, we replace the compromised bricks to ensure structural stability and a uniform appearance.
  • Chimney Crown Reconstruction: If the top of the chimney (crown) has cracks or is damaged, we rebuild it using water-resistant concrete, ensuring superior sealing against rain and snow.
  • Interior Liners and Sealing: We inspect the interior liner and, if necessary, replace it to ensure proper smoke flow and prevent dangerous gas leaks.
  • Application of Waterproof Sealants: Once the structure is restored, we apply protective coatings that repel water without hindering the chimney’s ability to breathe, extending its lifespan.

Importance of Professional Chimney Repair

Chimneys serve not only a functional purpose but are also an important architectural element of a home. Water leaks through cracks or damaged joints can lead to mold, compromise the integrity of the roof, and cause costly interior damage. Likewise, a poor ventilation system can pose a serious health risk. Therefore, working with an expert company like GUAILLAS ROOFING INC ensures a safe, durable job that meets building standards.
