Braidwood Chimney Relining

Damage and deterioration to your chimney can happen for a number of reasons… lightening, severe weather, chimney fire or common settling. A worn out chimney liner can permit smoke or creosote to leak into the chimney walls. It is likely that if your home is older, it could be that it was constructed without chimney liners or you are simply in need of an upgrade because of deterioration over time. Chimney relining is typically a cost effective way to repair a damaged chimney. Call the chimney experts today so we can help, we have a wide variety of liner solutions including stainless steel, aluminum and flue tiles.

Braidwood Masonry Restoration

Whether you are looking for tuck pointing or chimney rebuilding, Fireplace and Chimney Authority specializes in a wide range of restoration services.

Chimney Restoration & Rebuilding

Constant exposure to harsh outdoor elements can lead to deterioration of bricks and mortar or the entire chimney over time. Our skilled, experienced masons can help identify the issue and determine the best solution.

Damper Repair

A damper that works properly is critical to keep heat from escaping up your chimney. It’s important to repair your damper now to avoid losing any additional money on wasted heat.

Firebox Repair

If you notice loose or cracked bricks or eroded mortar joints, it is likely in time for repair. We can help restore this integral part to your fireplace system to get it functioning like brand new.

Flaking Bricks

The chimney bricks may flake or eventually fall off due to wear and tear. We can help stop the deterioration and restore bricks, ultimately avoiding more excessive repairs later.

Flashing Repairs

The flashing needs to work properly to prevent water seepage into the house. When sections of the flashing have lifted, our skilled technicians input a flashing seal to repair and prevent any future water damage in your home.

Mortar Crown Repair

The Crown, a cement slab located at the top of the chimney can deteriorate over the years. We can treat minor crown repairs or completely rebuild the crown if necessary.
