Imagine Brick can inspect your firebox and chimney crown, and install chimney caps to protect against weather and animal incursion. Chimney crowns are exposed to the elements and therefore periodically require maintenance. Cracks present in a chimney crown can make masonry susceptible to water damage. Repairing cracks soon prevents needing more serious repairs later.

If you require a more extensive chimney inspection we recommend Chris Brown at Affordable Chimney Services - (704)526-6348

Settlement cracks are present in many homes even if the homeowner is unaware of it. Often these cracks occur in the first ten years of construction but can occur when extreme moisture or drought conditions present themselves. In most cases, cracks occur adjacent to the openings in the masonry veneer of a home like a window, door, or vent. Several types of cracks are step cracking which typically occurs on the mortar joint; vertical cracks that run vertically and contain cracked brick; or horizontal in the mortar joint.
