Chimney Repairs In Fan, VA
An old, damaged chimney is not only an eyesore, but it’s also potentially dangerous to the home and the people living in it. When a masonry chimney reaches a certain point of deterioration, it’s time to rebuild or restore it.
Chimney Saver Solutions serves the Fan District of Richmond, VA, and the greater Richmond region with expert chimney rebuilding to restore safety, performance, and beauty to your chimney system. All our chimney rebuilds are done in compliance with state and local code regulations.
Why Is Your Chimney Damaged?
Some of our chimney rebuild projects are for chimneys damaged by powerful storms, falling tree branches, unexpected chimney fires, ongoing water leaks, and other events. Other rebuilds are for very old chimneys and the historic chimneys found in and around Richmond’s Fan District.
In all cases, our technicians and masons have wide experience in erecting new chimneys of all styles and sizes. We carry certifications from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and are proud members of the National Chimney Sweep Guild. We know chimneys and how to build them.
Chimney Rebuilding Richmond, VA
We start every rebuilding project with an inspection and a consultation with our customers to understand exactly what has happened to the current chimney. In some cases, rebuilding work will cover only part of the chimney structure; in others, a complete tear-down and rebuild is needed.
Proper chimney rebuilding includes the masonry structure and a powerful new chimney liner to protect you and your home from flames and deadly combustion gases. We build new chimneys for homes and businesses and offer specialized historic chimney restorations.
Your masonry chimney will be built to draft your specific fireplace. The style and size of a fireplace are critical specs to understand when putting a new chimney on top of it. We make sure the chimney height and flue diameter are correct for your fireplace.
We’ll talk with you about the colors and styles of bricks you want for your new chimney to create a stunning aesthetic that adds beauty and elegance to your entire property.
Fireplace Restoration
Along with chimneys, we rebuild and restore damaged and older fireplaces. A fireplace rebuild will literally transform the look and feel of your room and give you years of excellent service.
As with historic chimney restoration, restoring historic fireplaces requires an artisan’s touch and the years of experience our fireplace masons bring to each job.
Don’t Ignore a Damaged Chimney
Many chimney rebuilds could have been avoided had the homeowners scheduled annual chimney inspections, cleaning, and repairs as soon as they became necessary.
Problems that can result from allowing chimney damage to go unchecked include:
- Cracked bricks and crumbling mortar throughout the masonry
- A chimney that eventually collapses
- Progressive water leaks that can destroy the chimney and its components
- Water damage to the roof, wall, ceiling, and flooring of the home
- Sudden chimney fires caused by large buildups of creosote
- Inefficient fireplace drafting can send smoke and dangerous carbon monoxide into the home
- A very unsightly visual that mars the appearance of your home and property
