Nanaimo Chimney Repair and Maintenance
Chimneys are a regular feature of older buildings but are also part of the design of newer buildings for their aesthetic appeal. They are the part of your roof that is most vulnerable to the weather and wind because of their exposure in relation to the rest of the structure. Over time the elements can slowly degrade the structure of your chimney, leading to water leakage and in extreme cases, collapse.
Roofers Nanaimo has a dedicated and skilled team that are experts when it comes to chimney repairs, maintenance and replacement. With a wealth of experience in providing chimney repairs in Nanaimo and a range of high quality tools and equipment, we are confident that we will be able to provide an unbeatable solution to any chimney requirement.
Whether you require minor chimney repairs to keep your chimney in working order or a more bespoke solution is needed to remove and replace your chimney system, our experts will be able to help you.
The Importance of Chimney Repairs
Ensuring that your home’s chimneys are well-maintained is essential to your home’s durability, and also to your own personal safety. Chimneys are designed to be smoke-proof, and funnel smoke from your wood fires up and out of your home.
However, a chimney that is cracked or falling into disrepair won’t be able to do this job properly. The consequences can be twofold. First, smoke and soot might permeate your home, and second, moisture from outside might begin to seep into your roof through the weakened chimney, potentially causing significant damage.
Keeping your chimney and its flashing in good condition is essential if you want to protect your home from the elements.
Nanaimo Chimney Repair Services
As the highest point on your property, chimneys are often exposed to high winds and heavy rain. Over time this can lead to damaged or cracked brickwork and chimney pots. If the degradation of a chimney is too great, it may be more beneficially to rebuild the chimney instead of consistent repairs. Our specialist team are able to safely and professionally perform chimney removals and replacements regardless of the size or shape of the chimney.
Working at roof height, our focus is always on safety: loose mortar, bricks and chimney pots can cause considerable damage and injury when the inevitable happens. We are proud of our safe working practices and quality control, and work hard to ensure that we have customer confidence at all stages of work.
Before undertaking any work, we will carry out a full assessment of the chimney and surrounding area to check for any potential problems. With this check, we will be able to determine the best course of action to suit your specific needs and requirements.
If you have noticed that your chimney is damaged, it is important to ensure it is dealt with quickly. A damaged chimney can effect the foundations of your home if it is left to deteriorate further. You can rely on Roofers Nanaimo for all your chimney repairs in Nanaimo.

Repairing Chimney Flashing
Although cracks in the inner and outer walls of your chimney can be a highly visible sign of roof damage in need of repair, very often it’s actually the flashing around your chimney that is the culprit. Chimney flashing is a special type of sheet metal that joins your roof and chimney, and which is key to ensuring that your roof is waterproof.
When your chimney flashing is damaged or old, or is beginning to pull away from the surrounding roof area, your home is at risk of damage from the elements. If you’ve noticed stains on your ceiling near where your chimney is, or you’ve noticed other signs of water damage, then it’s highly possible that your chimney flashing needs to be repaired.
