Call (844) 803-1545

We live with the same humidity you do. Lauderdale Lakes sits entirely inland in Broward County, built out mostly between the 1960s and 1980s, and the chimneys on these homes were often decorative features attached to fireplaces that haven’t held a flame in years. That dormancy is the problem. With over 60 inches of annual rainfall and humidity that never really breaks, masonry that goes unchecked absorbs moisture, grows mold inside the flue, and slowly crumbles while the homeowner has no seasonal reminder to look up. When you do finally notice - a water stain on the ceiling, a loose brick, a draft that smells wrong - the damage is rarely minor. Call us at (844) 803-1545. A live person answers, 24 hours a day, and we’ll give you a free, upfront estimate before any work begins.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Lauderdale Lakes

Mortar Repointing

The mortar joints in Lauderdale Lakes chimneys were often built with mixes from the 1960s and 1970s that weren’t formulated for decades of salt-laden humidity and driving rain. We grind out the deteriorated mortar to proper depth and repoint with professional-grade masonry materials matched to Florida’s climate. In neighborhoods like Oriole Estates, we’ve found original mortar reduced to sand in chimneys that still looked fine from the ground. Our Chimney Repair in Lauderdale Lakes includes full joint inspection, not just the visible courses.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling - the flaking and crumbling of brick faces - is accelerated here by exactly what you’d expect: moisture that freezes in the masonry during rare cold snaps, then expands, then repeats. Lauderdale Lakes doesn’t freeze often, but when it does, the damage is concentrated in brick that was already saturated from months of humidity. We remove spalled brick, assess the underlying structure, and rebuild with matching materials. If the chimney is beyond localized repair, we’ll tell you plainly and quote a rebuild with no pressure.

Chimney Waterproofing

Waterproofing a chimney in Lauderdale Lakes is not optional maintenance; it’s structural preservation. We apply vapor-permeable sealers that let the masonry breathe while blocking liquid water, using products formulated for high-humidity environments. Because so many Lauderdale Lakes chimneys are decorative and unused, owners forget they exist until water intrusion shows up inside the house. We also inspect and repair the crown and flashing as part of any waterproofing scope - a capped, sealed chimney sheds water the way it was meant to.

Flashing Repair

The intersection where chimney meets roof is the most common leak point we find in Lauderdale Lakes. Original flashing on 1960s and 1970s homes was often step-flashing with minimal counterflashing, and decades of thermal expansion have opened gaps. We fabricate and install custom flashing using professional-grade materials, sealed with compounds rated for Florida’s UV exposure. Our Chimney Cap & Crown in Lauderdale Lakes service pairs naturally with flashing work - the cap keeps water out of the flue, the flashing keeps it out of the house.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes

We stock and install professional-grade materials from HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco - brands we specify because they hold up in South Florida’s conditions, not because they’re the cheapest option. For Lauderdale Lakes homeowners, this means faster turnaround: we don’t order parts, we carry them. HeatShield’s cerfractory flue resurfacing products handle thermal cycling without cracking. Gelco and Olympia Chimney caps and components are built from stainless steel and copper that resist the salt-air corrosion that reaches inland during storm season. When we quote your job, the materials are already on our trucks.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes

• Interior mold and mildew colonization in dormant flues. Because virtually no Lauderdale Lakes homeowner burns wood year-round, flues stay dark, humid, and undisturbed - ideal conditions for fungal growth that spreads to interior walls and aggravates respiratory conditions.
• Animal intrusion in uncapped chimneys. Chimney swifts, a federally protected migratory bird, nest in uncapped masonry flues throughout Broward County from March through October. Our technicians inspect for active nests before any work; disturbing them carries federal penalties and can delay repair until the nesting season ends.
• Accelerated mortar deterioration from efflorescence. The white powdery deposits you see on brick are salt minerals left behind as moisture evaporates. In Lauderdale Lakes’s high-humidity environment, that moisture rarely fully evaporates, so the cycle continues, leaching mortar compounds out of the joints.
• Crown cracks that channel water directly into the flue. Concrete crowns on 1960s and 1970s chimneys were often poured too thin or without proper overhang and drip edge. Once cracked, they function as a funnel rather than a shield, and Lauderdale Lakes’s 60+ inches of annual rainfall exploits every gap.
