Masonry, crowns, caps, and chase covers — fixed before water turns small gaps into structural problems.
Mississippi weather is hard on mortar. When joints crumble and crowns crack, water gets in — and freeze-thaw cycles turn small gaps into structural problems. Chimney Works repairs brick and stone chimneys throughout the Olive Branch area before that happens.
A rusted chase cover or missing cap is an open door for rain, birds, squirrels, and rot. We remove failing caps and covers and install new ones fitted to your chimney — one of the highest-value fixes a chimney can get, and one of the most common repairs we do in Olive Branch.
Not sure whether it's the cap, the crown, or the flashing? Start with a chimney inspection — we'll find the actual source before recommending a fix.
Tuckpointing (repairing crumbled mortar joints), chimney crown repair, and replacing rusted chimney caps and chase covers. Mississippi's freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers are hard on masonry and metal alike.
If the cap is rusted through, loose, or missing, replacement is usually the better value — a properly fitted new cap keeps rain, birds, squirrels, and debris out for years. We'll show you photos of what's up there before recommending anything.
The usual suspects are a cracked crown, failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof, deteriorated mortar joints, or a rusted chase cover pooling water. An inspection pins down the actual source so the repair fixes it once.
