A chimney cap is an important if not essential part of your chimney system, as it helps to prevent debris, rain, and animals from entering your chimney. Over time, chimney caps can become damaged due to weather or wear and tear, which can lead to a host of problems.
One of the most common issues caused by a damaged chimney cap is water damage. When water enters your chimney, it can cause the bricks and mortar to deteriorate, which can eventually lead to structural damage. Additionally, water in your chimney can create a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can be harmful to the health of you and your family.
To prevent these issues, it’s important to have your chimney cap repaired as soon as possible. Mortar Medic can assess the damage and determine whether the cap can be repaired or needs to be replaced entirely. If a repair is possible, we will use a high strength mortar to fill in any cracks or gaps in the cap. This will help to prevent water and debris from entering your chimney, protecting your home from further damage. In some cases, a chimney cap may need to be completely replaced. As professionals we can design a new cap to fit your chimney and provide maximum protection against the elements
