Chimney Brick Replacement

If you are a homeowner with a fireplace or wood-burning stove, you know how important it is to have a safe and functional chimney. However, many homeowners overlook the importance of regular chimney maintenance, which can lead to serious problems down the line. One common issue that homeowners may face is damage to the chimney crown. The top brick courses of the chimney can be damaged if the crown has cracks or other issues.

It's essential to have your chimney crown inspected each year to ensure that it is in good condition. The crown is a crucial part of your chimney's structure, as it helps to keep water out of the chimney system. Most damage to the masonry on a chimney occurs because of water entering from the top crown. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause the crown to crack or deteriorate, which can lead to leaks, water damage, and even structural issues.

If you suspect that your chimney crown may be damaged, it's important to contact a professional chimney company as soon as possible. At G.H. Erickson & Son, we specialize in chimney inspections, repairs, and rebuilds. Our team of experts can assess the condition of your chimney crown and recommend the best course of action to ensure that your chimney is safe and functional.

In some cases, a damaged crown may require a chimney rebuild. This process involves removing the damaged crown and rebuilding it with new materials. While a chimney rebuild can be a significant investment, it's essential for the safety and longevity of your chimney. At G.H. Erickson & Son, we use high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship to ensure that your chimney is rebuilt to the highest standards.

In conclusion, if you are a homeowner with a fireplace or wood-burning stove, it's important to prioritize regular chimney maintenance. The top brick courses of the chimney can be damaged if the crown has cracks or other issues. Contact G.H.
