We evaluate:

• Flue liner condition and smoke flow

FAQ – Chimney Repair in Columbia SC

Rain enters through cracks in the crown or missing caps then freezes in winter widening the damage. Over time this leads to crumbling bricks leaning stacks and even interior water leaks. Timely inspection and repair is the best prevention.

Columbia homeowners often overlook slow chimney tilting or flue liner deterioration which we detect during our diagnostic.
