Catching problems or damage to your chimney's exterior early can be the difference between a simple masonry tuckpointing and spending thousands of dollars constructing a new chimney.

3 Common Types of Chimneys in WI
There are three main types of chimneys used by Wisconsin businesses and homeowners, they include:
Stone Chimneys: Provide a timeless appeal but in the harsh weather conditions of southeastern Wisconsin, they frequently require repairs to correct loose or failing stones, as well as waterproofing to prevent moisture incursion.
Brick Chimneys: A popular choice among homeowners, these chimneys are subject to wear and strain. The most common problems are mortar erosion and cracked bricks. Tuckpointing and brick replacement ensure that your chimney retains both its visual appeal and functionality.
Concrete Block Chimneys: Contemporary and versatile, concrete block chimneys can develop problems such as cracking or spalling due to freeze-thaw cycles.
Common Masonry Chimney Problems
- Weather – Exposure to the elements can lead to deteriorated masonry. Even one bad storm could cause whole bricks to come off your chimney.
- Condensation – The heating and cooling effects of fireplaces and appliances can cause issues for your chimney’s masonry. A damp chimney will stain the ceiling, chimney opening and walls around the fireplace.
- Deteriorated chimney linings – The chimney lining provides protection between the masonry and other flammable parts of the building. If cracks appear in the lining, then the brickwork could be damaged as well.
- Obstructions – Various things can potentially get stuck in your chimney and cause problems, such as creosote buildup, debris, and bird nests. This prevents smoke from exiting the chimney like it's meant to. This can create toxic fumes inside your home including carbon monoxide.
No matter what happened to your chimney’s lining, Custom Restoration Inc. can help you fix it. Our team of professionals is the best in the business. We have over 20 years of experience fixing, constructing, and restoring residential masonry and commercial masonry throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha.

How Much Will A Chimney Repair Cost?
The cost of completing a Wisconsin chimney repair service is determined by the unique factors surrounding your needed chimney masonry repair. Our masons consider the following factors when quoting you a price:
1. The existing condition of your chimney. 
Depending on the severity of your chimney's damage, you may need more labor, materials and scaffolding to fix the problem.
2. The number of flues connected to your chimney.
Appliances such as furnaces, boilers, and water heaters are often vented through a home’s chimney. If any of these utility flues are damaged, the chimney rebuild becomes more labor-intensive and costly.
3. The type of chimney you have.
The two main categories used in homebuilding are masonry and factory-built chimneys. Masonry chimneys are more expensive to build as they require more tooling and a unique skill set. Prefab units require fewer materials and are less expensive to install.
