A few bricks on my chimney look like they're pulling apart. Is that dangerous or something that can wait?
Answer
Separating bricks on a chimney usually means that section has weakened and should be evaluated. We remove the loose brick, rebuild the damaged area, and make sure everything is secure before installing or repairing the chimney crown if needed. Every chimney is a little different, so the amount of rebuilding depends on how extensive the damage is. After the repair, the chimney is structurally sound again and ready for years of normal use. We can determine exactly what’s needed during a free estimate.
