When your Williamsville, NY, chimney begins to show signs of trouble, as all chimneys eventually do, it’s time to schedule chimney repair work. Putting it off will only result in the problem getting bigger.
Felgemacher has provided licensed chimney repairs by trained technicians in the Williamsville, NY, area since 1953. Here’s how we can help you.
Chimney Liner Repair and Replacement
The chimney liner is one of the most important components in a masonry chimney. It provides a smooth channel to draft the fireplace while keeping heat, flames and dangerous combustion gases from escaping.
Many cracked or broken chimney liners can be repaired with the HeatShield system, which spreads a strong coating across the entire liner surface. In cases of serious damage, we recommend a sturdy new stainless-steel chimney liner that will serve you and your Williamsville, NY, home for many years.
Masonry Repair and Rebuilding
Cracked bricks and crumbling mortar can lead to a chimney that leans or collapses. These problems can also allow water to penetrate and damage the masonry and other parts of the chimney system.
Fegemacher’s skilled masons replace damaged bricks and restore mortar joints through a process called tuckpointing. The result is a strong chimney that looks fantastic.
Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
The concrete chimney crown at the top of your Williamsville, NY, chimney is there to guard interior spaces of the chimney from rain, snow, debris and small animals. Cracks are common in crowns and should be addressed before major deterioration occurs.
We patch and seal crowns, and we can completely rebuild them when they’re beyond repair.
Chimney Cap and Chimney Chase Top Repair and Installation
Damaged or missing chimney caps and chase tops provide an open pathway for water, debris and wildlife to get into the flue. Intruding water is capable of damaging the chimney liner, fireplace damper, firebox and other parts of the system. Debris can create an obstruction that causes smoke and deadly carbon monoxide to back up into your Williamsville, NY, home.
We repair and install all types of chimney top components.
Firebox Repair and Rebuilding
Our fireplace technicians use special firebricks and refractory mortar to repair damaged fireboxes. In extreme cases, we can rebuild the firebox to meet all state and local code regulations. The result is a safer fireplace that works more efficiently and is beautiful to look at.
