London's freeze-thaw cycles cause chimney crowns to crack, allowing water infiltration that damages the entire chimney structure and requires immediate repair.

Ontario's harsh weather breaks down chimney mortar over time, creating safety hazards and allowing water damage that can affect your home's structure.

How often should chimneys be inspected in London, Ontario?

Chimney leaning is usually caused by foundation settling, freeze-thaw damage, or structural issues. It's extremely dangerous and requires immediate professional assessment. We provide emergency chimney stabilization and rebuilding services.
When should I rebuild vs repair my chimney?
Rebuilding is recommended when structural damage is extensive, the chimney is leaning, or repair costs exceed 50% of rebuild costs. We provide honest assessments and help you make the most cost-effective decision for your London property.
