Our Chimney Repair Services in Redford

Mortar Repointing

The mortar in Redford’s 1960s brick chimneys has endured roughly 2,500 freeze-thaw cycles. Each cycle - water seeps in, freezes, expands, flakes off another grain of sand - widens the joints until the whole structure loosens. We grind out the deteriorated mortar to proper depth and repoint with color-matched, high-bond masonry mortar rated for Michigan’s climate. Most repointing jobs on a standard Redford ranch chimney run $850-$1,400 and finish in one day.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling - the face of the brick popping off - is everywhere we look in Redford’s older neighborhoods, especially on chimneys that lack proper caps or crowns. Wayne County’s wet winters saturate the brick, and the freeze-thaw does the rest. We remove spalled units, source matching brick when possible, and rebuild the affected courses with proper drainage and a sealed crown above. A typical spalling repair on a Redford chimney runs $1,200-$2,800 depending on how many courses are affected.

Chimney Waterproofing

Redford’s lake-influenced snowfall means chimneys stay wet for months. We apply vapor-permeable waterproofing agents that let the brick breathe while blocking liquid water, which is critical on these older structures that were never designed to be sealed. Waterproofing a standard Redford chimney runs $450-$750 and adds years of protection against the cycle that destroys mortar and brick alike.

Flashing Repair

The junction where the chimney meets the roof is the most common leak point we find in Redford’s low-slope ranch roofs. Original flashing on these homes was often step-flashing with minimal sealant, and sixty years of thermal movement has opened gaps. We fabricate and install new counter-flashing integrated with the roofing system, sealed with professional-grade compounds. Flashing repair in Redford typically runs $650-$1,100.

Our Chimney Repair team also handles full chimney rebuilding when the damage has progressed beyond spot repairs, and we can coordinate with our Chimney Cap & Crown in Redford specialists to install proper protection that prevents the same damage from recurring.

Trusted Brands We Service in Redford

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes on Redford chimneys that have already lasted sixty years. For Chimney Liner & Rebuild - Redford and relining, we work with HeatShield’s cerfractory resurfacing system and Olympia Chimney’s stainless steel liners - both rated for the acidic condensate produced by modern gas appliances venting through old clay tile. For caps, dampers, and accessories, we stock Gelco and Famco components that we can source quickly, which means most Redford jobs don’t wait on parts. The materials matter, but so does the match: a HeatShield liner resurfacing on a Redford chimney with minor clay-tile degradation runs $1,800-$2,800, while a full Olympia stainless steel liner replacement runs $2,500-$4,200.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Redford Homes

• Cracked clay-tile liners from gas appliance condensate. A chimney sweep working Redford’s 48239 and 48240 ZIPs regularly finds a single flue venting both a gas furnace and a gas water heater simultaneously through the same original wood-rated clay tile liner - a setup that violates current code, accelerates liner deterioration through acidic gas condensate, and creates a measurable carbon monoxide risk that many longtime homeowners are entirely unaware of.
• Crown failure from snow load and freeze-thaw. Redford’s heavy lake-influenced snowfall means chimney crowns sustain consistent moisture intrusion that degrades clay tile liners from the top down, and we’ve replaced dozens of poured concrete crowns that cracked after decades without maintenance.
• Mortar joint deterioration from repeated freeze-thaw cycling. Wayne County’s freeze-thaw cycle - with temperatures repeatedly crossing 32°F throughout winter - accelerates mortar joint failure and spalling on Redford’s aging brick chimneys, especially on north-facing exposures that never fully dry.
• Improper gas appliance venting through original wood-rated liners. The overwhelming majority of Redford’s housing stock consists of compact brick ranch and Cape Cod homes constructed between 1945 and 1965, with single-flue clay-tile chimneys that were designed for wood or coal but were pressed into gas service during the 1970s energy transition, leaving original liners intact but functionally mismatched.
