Are you having trouble with your chimney? Does it look damaged, or does it operate unusually? The time to call for chimney repairs in Mahopac, NY, is as soon as you notice a problem. This way, we can make the needed repairs before the problem becomes dangerous and expensive.
Hudson Valley Chimney has been repairing chimneys in Carmel, NY, and all of Putnam County, NY, since 1976. We know chimneys, and we know how to make yours work as it should.
Here are some of the chimney repair services we provide for our Mahopac, NY, customers.
Masonry Repair and Rebuilding
Over time, chimney bricks often become cracked. Water can then intrude and begin serious deterioration, leading to widespread structural issues and, eventually, a collapse of the chimney. Our certified chimney repair technicians replace damaged bricks and strengthen mortar joints through tuck pointing.
Mahopac, NY Chimney Crown Repair and Rebuilding
The concrete crown at the top of your chimney protects the masonry beneath it and the chimney’s inner spaces. We repair crown cracks, rebuild crowns, and apply a strong sealant to prevent future water intrusion.
Chimney Liner Repair and Replacement
Your chimney liner is one of the most important parts of your chimney system, as it contains heat, flames, and deadly combustion gases. Cracks and gaps in a liner can lead to:
- Smoke and acidic damage to your chimney and home
- A chimney or house fire
- Sluggish drafting of the fireplace
- Smoke and deadly carbon monoxide spilling into your living spaces
Let us inspect and then either repair your chimney liner or install a new stainless-steel liner for years of protection.
Chimney Waterproofing
Hudson Valley Chimney provides expert chimney waterproofing service to extend the life of your chimney’s masonry. We use a specialized sealant that can “breathe,” releasing built-up moisture between the sealant and the masonry while blocking damaging rain and melting snow.
Chimney Flashing Repair and Installation
Flashing seals the space between the chimney and the roof. If it’s warped, rusted, or missing, water can seep into unseen parts of the home and damage materials, including the chimney masonry below the roof. We repair, reseat, and install new chimney flashing.
Chimney Cap and Chase Cover Repair and Replacement
We can reaffix loose chimney caps and chimney chase covers. If the component is severely damaged, we’ll replace it with a quality new component. This will prevent water, debris, and animals from invading your chimney flue.
Firebox Restoration
Damaged firebricks and crumbling mortar in a firebox can cause dangerous combustion gas leaks and, in the worst-case scenario, a house fire. Our fireplace masons can repair damaged bricks and replace crumbling mortar. We can completely rebuild the firebox if necessary.
Chimney Leak Repair
We repair many leaky chimneys in Mahopac, NY, and throughout Putnam County, NY. A chimney leak can originate in:
- Deteriorated bricks and crumbling mortar within the masonry
- A missing or ill-fitted chimney cap or chase top
- Warped or otherwise damaged flashing
- Cracks and deterioration in the chimney crown
Chimney Inspections
Before doing any work, we’ll inspect your chimney to follow up on the reason you called us and determine whether the issue has led to other problems that need to be addressed. We provide all levels of chimney inspections as outlined by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA).
