We’ve been working on Augusta’s chimneys for over four decades. We know the bungalows along Ohio Street, the foursquares near Garfield Park, and the ranch homes that filled in during the 1960s and 70s. Each era built its chimneys differently, and each era fails in predictable ways. Russell Haines started this company in 1984 with the idea that a chimney repair should be explained plainly, priced honestly, and finished so well you don’t have to think about it again. That’s still how we operate.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Augusta’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
Augusta homeowners tend to stay put. The house on State Street or the place out toward Walnut Valley - these are homes people have owned for twenty, thirty, forty years. They want a repair company that plans to be around just as long. We’ve served Butler County for over 42 years, and we intend to be here in thirty more. That changes how you treat people.
Our reviews from Augusta customers consistently mention the same things: the technician showed up on time, explained what was actually wrong, and the bill matched the estimate. No arguing, no paperwork chase. We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - not a callback queue, not an app. If water is coming through your ceiling at 10 p.m. during a Kansas thunderstorm, someone real picks up.
Response time to Augusta is typically same-day or next-day. We’re familiar with Butler County’s permit requirements and the local building inspector’s expectations, which means we don’t waste your time with redos. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry professional-grade materials for Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Augusta and repairs on every truck. Most jobs finish in one visit.
Our Chimney Repair Services in Augusta
Mortar Repointing
The mortar in an 80-year-old Augusta chimney has endured thousands of freeze-thaw cycles. Butler County’s winter pattern - bitter cold one week, fifty degrees the next - forces water into hairline cracks, then expands it into gaps you can slide a knife into. Repointing removes the deteriorated mortar to proper depth and packs new, color-matched mortar that bonds with the original brick. A typical mortar repointing job on a standard Augusta bungalow chimney runs $850-$1,400. We match the original mortar profile so the repair disappears.
Spalling Brick Repair
Spalling - when brick faces flake or pop off - is everywhere in Augusta’s older neighborhoods. The oil-boom-era houses near downtown were built with solid brick, but a century of water infiltration and freeze damage takes its toll. We cut out spalled bricks and replace with matching units, or when the damage is surface-level, we apply proper resurfacing compounds rated for chimney exposure. Spalling brick repair in Augusta typically costs $450-$1,200 depending on how many courses are affected. We document the damage with photos before we start, and you’ll see them.
Chimney Waterproofing
Kansas wind drives rain into masonry from angles you wouldn’t expect. Augusta’s chimneys sit exposed on the plains, and once the mortar starts failing, water finds every opening. We apply vapor-permeable waterproofing agents - not the hardware-store sealers that trap moisture inside - that let the brick breathe while shedding liquid water. A standard chimney waterproofing treatment in Augusta runs $350-$650 and carries a 10-year performance warranty. We also inspect and repair the crown and flashing as part of the assessment, since waterproofing a chimney with a failed crown is like fixing a roof with a hole in it.
Flashing Repair
The junction where your chimney meets the roof is the most leak-prone spot on any house. In Augusta, we’ve found original flashing on homes from the 1920s that’s nothing more than bent tin and roofing cement, long since cracked by sun and wind. We install proper step flashing, counterflashing, and sealant systems using Copperfield materials, integrated with your roofing so water sheds correctly. Flashing repair in Augusta typically runs $400-$950. We don’t caulk over bad flashing and call it done. That’s not a repair, it’s a delay.

Trusted Brands We Service in Augusta
We stock professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco on every service truck, which means most Augusta repairs don’t wait on parts orders. DuraFlex liners handle the venting demands of modern appliances in old flues. HeatShield restores deteriorated clay tile liners without a full tear-out. Famco caps and dampers stand up to Kansas wind better than the big-box alternatives. When we recommend a product, it’s because we’ve watched it perform on Augusta’s chimneys for years, not because a distributor offered a spiff.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Augusta Homes
- Century-old clay flue tiles cracked by fuel transitions. Augusta’s oil-boom housing stock was built for coal, then adapted for oil or gas. The original large flue tiles are often wrong for modern appliances, causing condensation damage we find during Level-2 camera inspections.
- Crown deterioration from hail and wind-driven debris. Kansas severe weather doesn’t just damage roofs. We’ve replaced dozens of cracked concrete crowns in Augusta after spring storms, often finding water had been pooling underneath for months.
- Mortar joint failure accelerated by Butler County freeze-thaw. The temperature swings here are harder on masonry than steady cold. We see the worst joint deterioration on north- and west-facing chimney exposures in Augusta’s older neighborhoods.
- Missing or damaged chimney caps after high-wind events. South-central Kansas wind routinely blows off lightweight caps, exposing flues to rain, animals, and debris. We install Gelco and Famco caps with proper mounting that stays put.
