Why Timely Chimney Repair Matters

Protecting Structure, Safety, and Efficiency

Moisture is the primary enemy of masonry chimneys. When water penetrates brick, stone, and mortar joints, freeze–thaw cycles force materials apart, leading to spalling faces, open joints, and cracked crowns. Left unchecked, leaks can migrate into framing and the roof system, causing rot, mold, and costly collateral damage. RAM Masonry Contractors repairs and fortifies these vulnerable points to stop water at its source and preserve the structural integrity of your chimney and home.

A compromised chimney can also affect indoor air quality, drafting, and fire safety. Deteriorated mortar joints or a damaged flue can allow heat and gases to escape where they shouldn’t, elevating the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide intrusion. Prompt inspection and repair restore proper venting, improve appliance efficiency, and prevent minor issues from becoming expensive rebuilds.

Brick, Stone, and Mortar Problems Resolved

Typical problems include spalling or loose bricks, receding or cracked mortar joints, leaning stacks, crown failures, and ineffective or missing chimney caps. We also address cracked or displaced flue tiles, eroded smoke chambers, firebox damage, and water entry points at step flashing and counterflashing transitions. Efflorescence, staining, and musty odors frequently signal moisture routes that need professional correction.

These issues usually stem from weather exposure, aged or incompatible mortar, previous improper repairs, lack of a drip edge on the crown, or flashing that has separated from masonry. Our team resolves root causes, not just symptoms—repointing joints, replacing damaged units, rebuilding crowns, installing correctly detailed flashing, and integrating a properly sized cap to keep water and wildlife out.

From Inspection to Long-Lasting Results

We begin with a thorough evaluation: exterior masonry assessment, roofline and flashing check, crown and cap inspection, and an interior review of the firebox and smoke chamber. When appropriate, we recommend a flue video scan to identify hidden defects. You’ll receive a clear photo-documented report, repair options, and an estimate aligned with industry best practices and safety standards (including NFPA 211 guidance).

For masonry restoration, we remove failed mortar to the correct depth and repoint using a compatible mix, matching color, texture, and joint profile to your existing brick or stone. Our team replaces spalled or cracked units, stabilizes fractures with helical pins when needed, and rebuilds deteriorated crowns using reinforced, sloped concrete with proper overhang and a drip edge. We install new step and counterflashing with clean reglet cuts and durable metal, sealed with premium, masonry-safe sealants.

To prevent future damage, we fit quality stainless-steel chimney caps, apply breathable silane/siloxane water repellents to shed moisture without trapping vapor, and correct flue deficiencies with stainless liners or smoke chamber parging as needed. Every project concludes with cleanup, a walkthrough, and maintenance recommendations to keep your chimney performing reliably season after season.
