Strong, well-maintained masonry is the foundation of a safe chimney. In Fairfield County and New Haven County, where historic homes and colonial-style architecture are common, chimney masonry needs extra care to withstand harsh winters and seasonal moisture.
Common Masonry Issues We See Locally
- Cracked Mortar Joints: Freeze-thaw cycles in Connecticut cause mortar to crumble.
- Spalling Bricks: Moisture entering bricks causes surface flaking and deterioration.
- Leaning Chimneys: A sign of serious foundation or structural damage.
- Staining & Discoloration: Often due to water penetration or poor drainage.
