Gannon Chimney & Masonry Repair

We know it is aesthetically important to match the original bricks that are being replaced, so as to keep your exterior brick wall looking uniform. Applying color matching mortar will also help disguise any repair job.

Why are most chimneys completely vertical? That's because a straight chimney allows the fastest and easiest route for dangerous gases to escape from your fireplace, heating system or stove. Chimney experts say a straight structure provides the best draft.

Modern chimney sweeps understand the dangers of creosote and gases released from combustible fuels. They still use the traditional brush, but have many more modern tools to keep them safer.

A critical part of structural timber frame restoration is repairs to the exterior siding, sheathing, and trim. These details are usually addressed after all structural problems have been dealt with and corrected.

More about bricks: In the U.S., standard brick size is 2 1/2" x 3 3/4 x 8". They are made of shale and clay and fired in kilns at approximately 2,000 degrees F to improve durability through chemical bonding.

How often should you have your chimney cleaned? It’s smart to have chimneys cleaned every year. If your fireplace sees only occasional use, plan to have it cleaned one time for each cord of wood burned or once every two to three years.

For commercial building restoration, municipal fire codes require properly rated mortar around doors and entryways. Depending on the location and purpose of the door indoor, outdoor, fire stop the mortar will need adjusting.

When it comes to cleaning chimneys, brushes aren't the only tool employed. The weight method involves rope, pull rings, and weights, and is executed from the roof while the duel line method requires people at both ends.

You may not think of the Great Wall of China as a building project that would require renovation, but over the course of hundreds of years, the Great Wall has been repaired many times, and extended at least three times to a staggering length of over 4,000 miles.
