Chimney Repair Work in Hamburg NY and Erie County
No matter the size of the job, our technicians work according to state and local code requirements. We do chimney repair correctly to bring more safety and performance to your Hamburg, NY, chimney system.
Masonry Brick Replacement and Tuckpointing
Damaged bricks and mortar can lead to widespread water leaks, a leaning chimney and even a collapsed chimney. Felgemacher’s experienced masons replace bricks and perform tuckpointing to add new mortar to places where it has deteriorated.
Chimney Liner Repair and Relining
A damaged chimney liner needs to be addressed immediately. We repair clay tile liners for our Hamburg, NY, customers with a process called HeatShield, which applies a strong new coating over splits and cracks in the current liner. When liner replacement is required, we use quality stainless-steel chimney liners that provide years of solid protection for your chimney and home.
Chimney Cap Repair and Replacement
Chimney caps shield the flue from rain and debris. Full-width versions also protect the crown below. We can make minor repairs to a chimney cap, but usually we suggest replacing it with a long-lasting Olympia chimney cap.
Chimney Chase Top Repair and Replacement
Chase tops installed on chimney chases work similarly to chimney caps. When damaged, they can allow water and debris into the chase system. We repair and replace damaged chimney chase tops in Hamburg, NY, and the greater Buffalo region.
Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
A deteriorated chimney crown will open interior chimney spaces to damaging rain and snow. It will also put the bricks below it at risk of major water damage. Our crew repairs minor crown cracks and, when damage is severe, rebuilds them properly – with a slanted design for water runoff and a drip edge to keep rain and melting snow away from the chimney masonry.
Chimney Repair Inspections
Before engaging in any chimney work, we’ll inspect your Hamburg, NY, chimney with our eyes and with a video camera. This thorough inspection will tell us what we need to know about the problem we’re addressing. It will also clue us in to early signs of damage or malfunction in other parts of your chimney system.
