Vancouver Masonry
Chimneys & Repairs

Masonry chimney construction must be done with precision. During this 2024-2025 season, hiring a qualified professional is crucial to avoid serious risks like fire hazards. If improperly installed, your chimney may not function as intended, such as keeping your home warm, and instead, could become dangerous.

Extreme temperature changes and exposure to the elements are just a few ways your chimney can become damaged over time. In the case of brick or masonry chimneys, when cracks occur, the chimney can quickly become unsafe. Rain can actually enter through the cracks in the chimney, which can lead to extensive damage on the interior of your home. As the cracks expand, the structure of the chimney will become compromised, leading to worse deterioration.

In addition, broken flue pieces caused by deterioration of the chimney structure can cause toxic gas to get stuck inside. When this occurs, you run a serious risk of exposure to poisonous gas like carbon monoxide.

Even more modern chimneys connected to natural gas furnaces which produce less heat in the chimney require liner changes to maintain efficiency. No matter what chimney repairs you may need, you can count on Taves to get the job done right.

We offer extensive chimney repairs and maintenance services that will keep your chimney working properly inside and looking great on the outside.

Whether you have an older brick chimney which could use a few patches on the masonry, or a newer chimney which needs an updated stainless steel or aluminum liner we can help.

By enlisting our experienced team for chimney repairs and maintenance, you can greatly reduce the risk of being exposed to toxic gas indoors. Proper chimney maintenance can also reduce the risk of sudden fires being started in a clogged chimney.

And while our team is conducting an inspection and repairs on your chimney, we can scope out other potential problem areas and make recommendations for further repairs or the removal of a problematic chimney.

Of course nothing lasts forever and that’s where we will take the necessary steps in inspecting, creating a plan and sharing with you what needs to be done. Materials that make up your home are protected by the roof, except your chimney. Your chimney is always exposed to the elements. In time chimney masonry will deteriorate after being subject to such conditions and there for makes your home at risk for many possible problems.

Yes, chimneys require regular cleanings and inspections to ensure they are safe to use. Creosote, soot, and other types of debris can accumulate in your chimney. This buildup can be problematic as it can cause blockages that reduce fireplace efficiency and increase the flammability of your chimney’s interior, posing severe hazards. Additionally, regular cleanings and inspections disturb the area, reducing the chances of unwanted critters nesting inside your home.

Annual chimney cleanings are recommended; however, if you use your chimney on a regular basis year-round, then more frequent cleanings may be needed.

Sometimes, a full chimney tear down and rebuild is the best course of action. If a chimney has no cap, a damaged crown, severe leaking, damaged flashing, or has extensive structural flaws such as leaning and crumbling, a chimney rebuild may be necessary.
