If the chimney at your Gaithersburg, MD, home has been giving you trouble, High’s Chimney Service is your local expert for all levels of chimney repair and rebuilding. We repair chimneys and their components fast to save you money on extensive repair work down the line.
Chimney Masonry Repair/Tuckpointing
Chimneys can suffer structural damage because of old age, house-settling, lightning strikes, water leaks, earthquakes and more. Damaged masonry needs to be repaired to prevent significant decay and the possibility of a chimney collapse. Our chimney repair technicians regularly work in Gaithersburg and perform masonry rebuilding (tuckpointing), brick repair, chimney leak repair and chimney waterproofing.
Chimney Liner Repair & Installation
Chimney liners, whether they’re made of stainless steel, clay tile or a poured-in-place compound, require periodic inspections and repairs to ensure safety and performance. A cracked or broken chimney liner can put vulnerable areas of the home at risk of a fire and cause serious damage to the bricks it’s supposed to protect.
Chimney Crown Repair/Rebuild
The chimney crown is the cement layer that covers the entire top of the chimney except for the flue pipe(s). When crowns become cracked, water from rain and snow move inside and cause damage to the crown and eventually to the bricks below it. Our chimney repair technicians can fix cracks, water-seal damaged areas and rebuild the crown, if necessary.
Chimney Cap Repair/Replacement
If any part of your chimney cap is damaged or if the cap wasn’t installed properly, water and debris may be able to get past it and end up in the flue. Water will cause deterioration, and debris will cause a drafting obstruction and serve as fuel for a chimney fire. We fixed damaged chimney caps and correctly install new ones.
