If your Modena, NY, chimney is damaged or not working as it should, let the chimney repair experts at Hudson Valley Chimney take a look and get it back into shape.
Our certified technicians have worked throughout Ulster County, NY, since 1976, providing solutions for both simple and complex chimney problems. We perform all chimney repair work in compliance with New York State and local code regulations.
Here are some ways we can help your chimney look better, last longer, and operate more efficiently.
Masonry Repair and Chimney Rebuilding
When chimney bricks are cracked, and the mortar between them is crumbling, the chimney looks bad and might soon become unsafe. We replace cracked and spalling bricks and tuckpoint crumbling mortar. We also completely rebuild severely damaged chimneys.
Chimney Liner Repair and Relining
Even small cracks or breaks in a chimney liner can allow sparks, heat, and dangerous combustion gases to escape. Hudson Valley Chimney repairs chimney liners and installs powerful new stainless-steel liners in all types of masonry chimneys.
Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
We repair cracked chimney crowns and rebuild crowns with significant damage throughout their concrete surfaces. Crowns protect the bricks below them from rain and snow, and they shield interior areas of the chimney from moisture, tree debris, and small animals.
Chimney Cap Repair and Installation
The chimney cap at the top of your Modena, NY, chimney is there to keep rain and debris out of your chimney flue. With no cap or a damaged one, your flue is open to rain, snow, leaves, twigs, and animal nests that can block the draft and send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your home. We repair and install chimney caps.
Chimney Flashing Repair and Replacement
Chimney flashing seals the space between your chimney and roof. If the flashing is warped or unseated, water can seep into unseen areas of your home, affecting the chimney masonry, walls, floors, ceilings, and other home materials. We’ll make sure your flashing is in good shape.
Troubleshooting Tricky Chimney Problems
Sometimes, we need to do a little investigating to figure out exactly why a chimney is showing certain symptoms. Below are examples of tricky chimney problems we troubleshoot for our Modena, NY, customers.
- Noises in the chimney
- Fires that are hard to start and maintain
- White, brown, black, or green stains on the exterior masonry
- Smoke from the fireplace is backing up into the home
- Horrible chimney odors
- Signs of leaks in the house that may originate from parts of the chimney
- Suspected chimney fires
Chimney Inspections
Before we start any chimney repair job, we’ll perform a chimney inspection. We’ll look at the problem you called us about and check out other readily accessible areas of your chimney to make sure no additional trouble exists.
We’ll go over the inspection report with you and give our recommendations on what’s needed to fix the issue, how long it will take, and how much it will cost.
