No matter the cause, chimney issues can detract from the beauty, safety, and value of your home.

From cracked masonry, leaks, blocked chimney caps, and poorly fitting dampers, our experienced technicians have solved nearly every chimney problem you can imagine.

Chimney Waterproofing in Milford, Fairfield, Trumbull, & Nearby

Most chimneys are built with porous brick and mortar. Over time, water can seep into the chimney, causing damage to the inside and outside of your home.

Water leaks in Your Chimney Can Cause:

If not addressed, water leaks can eventually lead to the complete failure of your chimney.

At Brown Roofing Company, Inc., we can apply a high-quality waterproofing agent to extend your chimney's lifespan. To waterproof your chimney, we use a vapor-permeable protective sealant, which allows moisture inside the chimney to escape while preventing water from entering from the outside. Waterproofing is an affordable way to protect the beauty and function of your chimney, saving you money and hassle down the road.

Chimney Rebuilding

Our chimney repair experts can restore your chimney to its original condition.

If only a few bricks are cracked or spalling (breaking off in fragments), they can typically be replaced. If your chimney is severely damaged, we will likely need to partially or completely tear it down and rebuild it.

With any chimney rebuild, we try to use any existing bricks that are still in good condition. When you hire us to restore or rebuild your chimney, you can be sure that all work will be completed in accordance with state and local building codes.

Chimney Crown Repair & Replacement

The chimney crown acts as a roof over your chimney structure, protecting the flue and the top of the chimney from weather-related deterioration or damage. It differs from the chimney cap, which is an attachment at the top of the flue pipe to prevent debris from entering the flue.

If there are cracks or voids in your chimney crown, this can allow water to seep inside the bricks and mortar of your chimney, causing expensive damage over time. Our chimney technicians can repair or rebuild your chimney crown to help prevent costly water-damage repairs.

If your chimney crown is severely worn, missing pieces, or lacking structural integrity, it might be best to replace it with a new concrete crown. We can build a new crown for your chimney using durable concrete and a design that directs water away from the bricks and mortar, keeping your chimney as dry as possible.

Connecticut Repointing & Tuckpointing

If you notice that your chimney’s mortar is cracked or deteriorating, tuckpointing can help prevent further damage. Tuckpointing involves removing the damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar to restore your chimney to its original condition. We will expertly match your existing mortar so you won't notice where it was replaced.

Cracked or crumbling mortar joints are not only ugly but can also allow water to seep into your chimney, causing serious and expensive damage. If you have loose bricks or stones, cracks in your mortar, or other issues, our trained technicians will inspect your chimney and recommend the best solution to ensure it functions safely and looks beautiful.

Tuckpointing is a mortar technique in which different-colored mortars are used to make the joint appear thinner than it actually is. This method creates a brick appearance that looks closely laid together and is often considered a cleaner finish than wide mortar joints.

Fireplace Dampers in Trumbull, Fairfield, Milford & Surrounding Areas

If you have issues with smoke or drafts in your home, we can inspect your chimney and determine whether your fireplace damper needs to be replaced.

Damaged or Improperly Installed Fireplace Dampers Can:

• Compromise your home's comfort
• Negatively impact energy efficiency
• Allow water and moisture to enter
• Cause cracks in the mortar and other serious problems

We can inspect your chimney damper to ensure it's functioning properly. If your damper isn't functioning properly, we can install a new one.
