Chimney Crown Damage from Ontario Winters
London's freeze-thaw cycles cause chimney crowns to crack, allowing water infiltration that damages the entire chimney structure and requires immediate repair.
Deteriorating Mortar Joints
Ontario's harsh weather breaks down chimney mortar over time, creating safety hazards and allowing water damage that can affect your home's structure.
Damaged Flue Liners
Cracked or missing flue liners pose serious safety risks including carbon monoxide leaks and house fires, requiring immediate professional attention.
