Don’t Wait Until It Gets Worse
Michigan’s brutal freeze-thaw cycle can silently break down your chimney over time. As temperatures rise and fall, moisture gets trapped in cracks, causing bricks to shift, mortar to crumble, and structural damage to spread. What starts as a small crack often turns into a major issue if left unchecked.
Expert chimney repair in Ann Arbor can prevent:
- Interior water leaks, mold growth, and ceiling stains
- Flue blockages that increase the risk of carbon monoxide or chimney fires
- Crumbling structures that require full chimney rebuilds
We also offer chimney cleaning prior to repair when needed, ensuring that soot buildup doesn’t mask hidden damage inside the flue or liner.
Spring and summer are the best times to schedule chimney repairs in Ann Arbor, while the weather is stable and before colder months make the damage worse — or more expensive.
Act now to avoid emergency repairs down the road.
