Chimney repairs, inspections & fireplace installations in La Jolla CA

Masonry Chimney Repairs

Over time, the bricks and mortar of a chimney can begin to crack and spall. When this happens, water can get into the openings and start a cycle of damage that may lead to a leaning or collapsed chimney.

Our experienced La Jolla, CA, chimney crew replaces damaged bricks and performs tuckpointing to add new mortar to areas where mortar is deteriorating. The result is a strong and beautiful chimney that works like it should.

Chimney Liner Repair La Jolla CA

A damaged chimney liner will allow intense heat, dangerous combustion gases and flames to escape. This can send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your La Jolla, CA, home. In the worst-case scenario, breaks in a chimney liner can cause a house fire.

Chimney Sweeps Inc. repairs chimney liners with Thermocrete, a specialized spray coating that seals gaps and cracks while providing a very smooth funnel for the drafting of smoke.

Chimney Cap Repair and Replacement

Chimney caps keep rain, debris and animals out of your chimney flue. If your cap is damaged, it needs to be repaired or replaced. When replacing chimney caps, we recommend going with a full-width custom chimney cap that also protects the chimney crown.

Chimney Flashing Replacement

Chimney flashing seals the gap between the roof and chimney. When warped or rusted out, flashing opens a space for water to move in and cause all kinds of damage to parts of the home and the exterior chimney.

We can reseat flashing in some cases. Usually, it’s best to have us install new flashing.

La Jolla CA Smoke Chamber Parging

The smoke chamber just above the firebox is designed to channel smoke up and into the chimney flue. Corbelled (stepped) smoke chamber surfaces and surfaces that are cracked or split can impede drafting and cause smoke to back up into your home. We provide smoke chamber parging to smooth out the surfaces and restore drafting efficiency.

Rampart General Chimneys

Many homes built in the 1970s and 1980s featured Rampart General chimneys, which were prefabricated as a single piece and erected at the property with heavy machinery.

Because of their ill-advised all-in-one design, Rampart General chimney repair can only be accomplished with the Thermocrete system, and Chimney Sweeps Inc. is the only company in La Jolla, CA, and San Diego County licensed and approved to do this work. If you have a damaged Rampart General, call us.
