Homeowners never think about chimney repair beyond the occasional flue cleaning. But ignoring your chimney can cost you quite some money. A cracked chimney crown or bricks can easily cost $1,000 to repair. And, if left untreated, the damage can accelerate quickly, and cost you as much as $3,000. Masonry chimneys are constructed of a variety of masonry and metal materials, including brick, mortar, tile, steel and cast iron. All will suffer accelerated deterioration, resulting from prolonged contact with water. Masonry material deteriorates quickly when exposed to the freeze/thaw process. Water can get into your basement. Rochester Basement and Roofing knows chimneys. Call us today at 585-338-9865
