Common chimney issues in Crest Hill homes
Illinois freeze-thaw cycles are hard on brick, and many Crest Hill chimneys built in the 1960s through 1980s are now showing crumbling mortar joints, spalled brick, and cracked crowns. Left alone, that lets water into the structure and speeds up the damage. A quick inspection tells you whether you need tuckpointing, a new crown, or simply a cap to keep water out. Homes with wood-burning fireplaces that get regular use should also plan on an annual sweep to keep creosote from building to dangerous levels.

Our shop is just minutes away in Joliet, so Crest Hill is one of our closest service areas and we can usually schedule promptly.
My Crest Hill home is from the 1970s — does the chimney need attention?
Very likely. Chimneys from that era in Crest Hill often have deteriorating mortar and crowns from decades of freeze-thaw cycles. An inspection will tell you exactly what, if anything, needs repair.
How often should a Crest Hill fireplace be swept?
If you burn wood regularly, once a year. The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends sweeping when creosote reaches about one-eighth of an inch.
Do you do masonry repair in Crest Hill?
Yes. We tuckpoint, rebuild, repair crowns, and waterproof chimneys throughout Crest Hill. Water intrusion is the most common problem we see here.
