Repair Options
Stone chimney repair in Sanford, stone by stone
Loose stone overhead
A stone that has come loose high on a chimney can fall without warning. Keep people and pets clear of the ground beneath it, and do not pull at it or climb up to look. A description of what you see from the ground, and where any fallen pieces landed, is enough for us to plan the visit.
Our local stone pros secure loose stone and quote the repair upfront. Our number is (645) 465-4122, and the Sanford inspection is free.
Replacing a cracked stone
A single cracked stone does not always mean trouble behind it, but it lets water in and can break apart further. We cut out the joints around it, remove the broken pieces and set a replacement of similar size and color. On natural stone we look for a close match in color and grain, and on manufactured stone we look for the same product line.
The replacement goes in only after you approve it, and in Sanford the work is 10% off when you schedule it within 72 hours of the inspection.
A tidy site at the end of each day
Stone repair makes dust, broken pieces and mortar drips around your home. We protect plants, paving and the roof below the work, and any open chimney is covered before we leave each work day. We always clean up and haul the old mortar, broken stone and packaging away with us.
You should not find our mess after we leave. That is part of the 100% satisfaction guarantee on stone chimney repair in Sanford.
Looking over the stonework each year
A yearly inspection of chimneys and heating equipment by a qualified professional is what the National Fire Protection Association advises. On a stone chimney, that yearly look is a good time to spot an opening joint or a loose stone while the repair is still small, before water has worked its way behind the face.
Along with repairs, we offer chimney and fireplace maintenance visits, starting with a free inspection. Book the repair within 72 hours of it in Sanford and save 10%.
Solid stone chimneys
Stone appears among the materials the Florida Building Code lists for masonry fireboxes and smoke chambers, and some chimneys are built of solid stone rather than faced with it. In a solid stone chimney each stone is part of the structure, so a loose one is reset carefully in its bed and nearby joints are checked for movement before anything is disturbed.
How your chimney was built decides the repair, and we explain both. Call (645) 465-4122 for a free inspection in Sanford.
