Masonry Restoration Expertise
Our master masons possess decades of experience restoring historic and modern chimneys throughout the Schaumburg area. We understand the unique characteristics of different brick types, mortar compositions, and construction techniques used in various eras. Our tuckpointing process removes deteriorated mortar and replaces it with properly matched materials, restoring both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Advanced techniques including parging, crown repair, and stone restoration ensure your chimney maintains its strength and appearance for decades to come.
Waterproofing and Prevention
Water penetration causes most chimney damage, making waterproofing a critical component of our repair services. We apply breathable sealers that protect masonry while allowing moisture vapor to escape, preventing interior damage and freeze-thaw cycles. Our flashing repairs use premium materials and proven installation techniques to create permanent water-tight seals. Schaumburg Chimney Sweep’s preventive approach addresses current problems while implementing protection strategies that minimize future repair needs, saving you money over time.
