Chimney Work for Low-Pitch Ranch Roofs
Low ranch roofs in Mount Prospect leave chimneys exposed to wind-driven snow. We rebuild crowns, re-point stacks, and renew flashings so meltwater does not enter living space at the chase.
Our process
- 1 A chimney endures the harshest exposure on your home Positioned above the roofline, a chimney stack is exposed on all sides without shelter. Mortar at the crown and shoulders degrades years ahead of the lower walls. Deteriorating joints, corroded flashing, or a perceptible lean each demand immediate, professional assessment.
- 2 Crowns, caps, and flashing rebuilt to specification A cracked crown directs water straight into the chimney's core, where freeze-thaw action dismantles the masonry internally. We reconstruct crowns with correct overhang and drip edges, install robust caps, and renew defective flashing. Every detail is oriented toward a single objective: excluding water.
- 3 Heritage methods applied to safety-critical work A compromised chimney is not solely a masonry issue—it can impair venting and introduce fire or carbon monoxide risks. We rebuild using matched brick and compatible mortar, and we conduct a flue inspection prior to returning any fireplace to active use.
