Oceanside Chimney Repair Services

We address all chimney issues and damage.

Chimney Relining

Damaged chimney liners will allow flames and potentially deadly flue gases to escape. Faulty chimney liners have caused numerous house fires over the years.

Following an inspection, our go-to solution for damaged chimney liners is relining with Thermocrete. This product effectively seals gaps and holes in chimney liners and smooths out the surfaces to enable efficient drafting.

Chimney Crown Repair

The concrete crown at the top of your Oceanside chimney is in place to protect the inner chimney areas from rain and debris. Cracks in the crown will progress to the point that it literally begins to fall apart.

Professional Chimney Crown Repairs in Oceanside CA

Water in the chimney can cause masonry deterioration, mold growth, rotting in adjacent home building materials and other problems. We address this problem by either rebuilding the damaged crown or sealing it with an exceptional product called CrownSeal.

Tuckpointing / Repointing

Tuckpointing (or more accurately, “repointing”) is a process to repair damaged mortar joints within a chimney’s masonry.

Old age, weather events and other causes can lead to mortar crumbling and making the chimney structure unsound.Repointing involves scraping away the crumbling mortar and replacing it with a strong new compound. “Tuckpointing” refers to a basic cosmetic upgrade to the look of the mortar, but the two terms are often used interchangeably.

Brick Replacement

Spalling (flaking) or cracked bricks provide easy access for water. Once water is inside the bricks, ongoing destruction will likely occur. We do a lot of brick replacement jobs for our Oceanside customers to restore strength and beauty to their chimneys.

Watch for areas of crumbling on the roof and white stains on the masonry, both signs that the masonry needs attention.

Firebox Repair & Rebuilding

Cracked refractory panels in a firebox can allow smoke and flames to escape. Smoke carries with it carbon monoxide, which can cause severe health problems in people and pets. Flames can ignite framing materials and start a house fire.

We provide complete firebox repair and rebuilding services throughout Oceanside and all of North San Diego County.

Chimney Rebuilding and Masonry Repair in Oceanside CA

Chimney Rebuilding

For chimneys that are severely damaged by weather, seismic events, old age, poor-quality masonry or years of water intrusion, we usually recommend having the chimney rebuilt.

Our Oceanside chimney masons can rebuild sections of the chimney or the entire chimney from the roof up, restoring beauty, safety and performance.

Smoke Chamber Parging

The smoke chamber that sits above the firebox is designed to funnel smoke up into the chimney. Worn or damaged smoke chambers often exhibit gaps, holes and jagged edges, all of which impede smooth drafting and can lead to a fire.

Chimney Sweeps Inc. uses a product called Smoktite for smoke chamber parging (i.e., smoothing). We thoroughly coat the surfaces of the chamber, filling up holes and breaks and restoring smooth, efficient drafting.
