A damaged or malfunctioning chimney is something you don’t want to ignore. When your Lewiston, NY, chimney is in trouble, Felgemacher is standing by with expert chimney repair strategies for every part of your chimney system.
We’ve served homeowners throughout Lewiston, NY, and Niagara County, NY, since 1953. Here’s how we can help you.
Masonry Repair / Chimney Rebuilding
A chimney’s bricks and mortar take a beating from the extreme winters we have in the Lewiston, NY, region. Bricks can crack and spall, and mortar can crumble away. The result: widespread water damage and structural issues.
Felgemacher’s experienced masons replace damaged bricks and strengthen deteriorated mortar joints. If the chimney is severely damaged and dangerous, we’ll rebuild it to restore strength and beauty.
Chimney Crown Repair and Restoration
When the concrete crown at the top of a chimney starts to crack or fall apart, water, debris and small animals can get into unseen areas of the chimney. Over time, this can lead to very serious safety and operational problems.
We do a lot of crown work in the Lewiston, NY, area, including chimney crown repair and complete crown rebuilding. We also waterproof crowns.
Chimney Top Repair and Replacement
Our crew provides complete repair and replacement of all types of chimney tops, including chimney caps, flue covers and chimney chase covers. A damaged or missing chimney top will let water, debris and wildlife into the flue.
This can cause damage to the chimney liner, obstructions that send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your Lewiston, NY, home, and the growth of dangerous mold.
Chimney Liner Repair and Relining
A damaged chimney liner can quickly lead to some serious problems. Smoke, carbon monoxide, intense heat and even flames can escape through cracks or breaks in a liner. If an inspection tells us your liner needs service, we have a couple of options.
We can repair certain types of liner damage with the HeatShield process, which adds a strong coating to the entire inside of the flue. If the liner is severely damaged, we can replace it with a sturdy new stainless-steel liner.
Firebox Repair and Rebuilding
Cracks and deterioration in a firebox can set the stage for a house fire. Felgemacher specializes in repairing and restoring damaged fireboxes.
We use industry-grade firebricks and refractory mortar to seal up cracks, breaks or splits in the firebox’s surfaces. When extensive damage has happened, we’ll rebuild the firebox according to state and local code regulations for safety and performance.
