Can My Old Chimney Be Repaired?

A historic chimney is the pride of many older homes in Harrisburg, Camp Hill and all of south central PA. However, these chimneys need care and repairs to keep them in excellent condition. Working with Anderson’s Chimney & Masonry Services can revitalize your old chimney.

What Are the Signs My Old Chimney Needs Repairs?

Look for these signs that you may need an inspection and chimney repair in Camp Hill or Harrisburg:

  • Smoky fires and odors: Wood burning produces a byproduct called creosote. As it builds up in your chimney, it can prevent smoke from escaping and put you at risk of a chimney fire. If you notice smoke or an odor, contact Anderson’s Chimney & Masonry Services at once.
  • Changes in appearance: Your chimney is exposed to the elements, which can cause damage over time. You may notice your chimney cap is missing or bent, that pieces of brick or masonry are crumbling or that stains have appeared on your chimney. It’s important to address changes in appearance to any part of the chimney before they become larger issues.
  • Interior damage: If water seeps into your chimney, you may notice signs of water damage and stains on the walls and ceiling inside your home, near the fireplace. Chimney leaks can lead to property damage, mold and other problems, so you’ll want to contact Anderson’s Chimney & Masonry Services for chimney repair in Harrisburg or your community.
  • Your chimney doesn’t look right: Maybe you’ve made updates or upgrades to your home’s exterior and your older chimney no longer fits the overall look. Chimney technicians from Anderson’s Chimney & Masonry Services can also address aesthetics issues, revitalizing the look of your chimney so your whole home looks its best.
  • It’s been a while since you’ve had maintenance done: Historic chimneys can develop problems with chimney liners, masonry and other components. Regular inspection and maintenance can catch issues early, often before you notice a problem. Preventive service can make repairs more convenient and cost-effective while saving your home from some types of damage.
