Our Approach to Chimney Repair Work in Grand Island NY
The technicians we send to your home are fully trained and experienced with all types of chimney repairs, modifications, troubleshooting and parts replacements. We work in strict compliance with code requirements as set forth in Grand Island, NY, and the State of New York. We do chimney repairs right the first time.
Chimney Masonry Repair
We replace cracked and spalling bricks to prevent ongoing water damage and major structural compromise. We also fill in deteriorated mortar joints to add strength and stability. Timely masonry repair can literally save a chimney.
Chimney Liner Repair and Replacement
Damaged clay tile liners can be effectively repaired with HeatShield, a process that coats the flue with a strong, protective layer. With certain types of chimney liner damage, we’ll recommend having a new stainless-steel liner installed. Felgemacher specializes in the repair and installation of protective chimney liners throughout Grand Island, NY, and all of Erie County.
Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
Concrete chimney crowns are susceptible to cracking, which can lead to water moving into unseen areas of the chimney. A damaged crown can also cause water damage in the chimney’s uppermost bricks. Our chimney repair crew can patch and seal minor crown cracks. When damage is extensive, we’ll rebuild the crown with a proper slant and water drip edge.
Chimney Cap Repair and Installation
We repair and replace damaged chimney caps that protect the flue from rain, snow, debris and small animals. The style we recommend for our Grand Island, NY, customers is a full-width chimney cap, customized for your specific chimney design.
Chimney Chase Top Repair and Installation
A chimney chase top is a protective component installed on a chimney chase, which houses the vent pipe of a manufactured fireplace. Some damaged chase tops can be repaired, but those that are severely rusted, warped or otherwise damaged should be replaced.
Chimney Repair Inspections
We begin all Grand Island, NY, chimney work with a thorough inspection that includes a video scan. Investigation is often necessary to fully understand what’s happening with the chimney, why it’s happening and how much, if any, associated damage has occurred. A proper inspection will also alert us to other problems in the chimney system that need to be addressed.
