Duncan, BC experienced it's first building boom during the early 1900's and has continued expanding at a steady pace since. While many of the original heritage homes and their chimneys are no longer standing, those that remain, along with thousands of other homes built between then and the 1980's, are now experiencing major chimney issues. Most of the chimneys in the Cowichan Valley require rebuilds with the exception of the occasional chimney which has been properly maintained over the years and is just in need of repointing and a refresh.
