Chimney Repair in Duncan, BC | Professional Fixes

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.

Chimneys in Duncan, BC require the same attention to detail and old world workmanship as any other.

What We Do

Chimney Assessments

Chimneys are constantly battered by our coastal climate throughout the majority of the year. Over the years, the bricks, stones, and mortar separate from one another introducing cracks and gaps in the mortar and the cap.

Chimney Rebuilds

Unfortunately, once a chimney has gone beyond the threshold for maintenance and repairs, a rebuild becomes necessary once the mortar is too far gone and the bricks begin spalling. Most chimneys in Duncan can be rebuilt just above the roofline. However, others may require a rebuild from the ground up. Give us a call today and we'll be able to inform you as to what is ultimately required. Click here to learn more about rebuilds: Chimney Rebuilds
