Common Causes Of Chimney Damage
Understanding what causes different types of chimney damage helps you take measures to preserve your chimney’s stability and appearance. Typically, chimney repairs are required when damage is caused by water infiltration, improper construction, age, or a chimney fire due to a creosote buildup.
Chimneys in Dallas-Fort Worth homes face numerous threats that will lead to damage and deterioration over time. Issues arise from both natural and human-made factors.
Poor workmanship is a common issue, for example, with workers installing the wrong-sized flues, using low quality materials, and producing generally sloppy work.
Problems like these can compromise your chimney’s security, of course, but they can also cause unsightly damage to its appearance as well.
Weather plays a very significant role in chimney damage in Dallas, which experiences its fair share of severe storms, with lightning strikes, strong winds, and hail damage all being fairly common. Earthquakes, though less typical, can also cause serious damage to chimneys.
Water intrusion is perhaps the problem we encounter most frequently. Cracks in the chimney crown, damaged caps, and deteriorated mortar joints can all allow moisture to seep in. Over time this causes mortar damage and structural instability.
Chimney leaks can be especially troublesome, caused by issues with flashing, caps, or other waterproofing elements.
Ironically, fires pose a quite serious risk to chimneys, due to unaddressed creosote buildup. Fires can severely damage the flue and surrounding masonry -even small, unnoticed ones.
After a fire incident, you may also need fireplace repairs performed, such as replacing the firebox, or removing damaged bricks and mortar.
Lastly, the simple passage of time takes its toll. Years of use lead to wear and tear on masonry, and regular maintenance is the best approach; preserving your chimney rather than paying for expensive restorations down the road.

Pricing chimney repair is complicated because it depends on the type of problem, it’s severity, and the materials we have to source to match your home’s exterior and to match the mortar with your old mortar as well.
Our name may be Brick Experts but we work regularly with all kinds of materials: stone, brick, and so on, and each carries different material costs.
Additionally, brick masonry contractors have to account for their time and labor.
