Chimney Repair & Restoration

Expert Chimney Repair

After enough wear and tear, most houses will eventually need chimney repair. Factors such as temperature shock, smoke, moisture, and extreme weather can all contribute to a chimney falling into disrepair.

Blackwell Masonry serves the Kitchener-Waterloo region and the surrounding area with over 30 years of experience in chimney repair & restoration.

Chimneys receive constant exposure to the elements. Failure to repair a chimney when a problem appears will accelerate chimney wear and will cause a lot of additional problems in a short time.

Blackwell has decades of experience repairing all manner of chimney problems, and we are familiar with the masonry needs of chimneys in our Canadian climate.

What are the Common Chimney Repairs?

The most common types of chimney problems are:

  • Cracks in the mortar, brick or stone,

  • Crumbling brick or mortar,

  • Water leaks,

  • Weathered brick or stone that is falling from the chimney.

FAQs

  • Chimneys are exposed to many factors that normal siding does not have to deal with:

    • Wind and rain can often attack a chimney from three sides

    • Smoke leaves moisture and residue on the inside of the chimney

    • Temperature changes due to cold air and hot smoke can wear out materials quickly

    Blackwell has years of experience repairing all of the above problems for chimneys.

  • Chimney repairs can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on the nature of the repair.

    Leaks and cracks can be fixed in a short amount of time, while full rebuilds will take longer.

  • Blackwell Masonry is a family run business. It was started by Jim Blackwell back in 1987. Since then, Jim's sons Conrad and Devon have been brought up to continue the Blackwell Masonry legacy.
