Repair, repoint or rebuild in Vernon
If you heat with wood in Vernon, have the chimney inspected and cleaned every year before the first fire, and more often if you burn heavily or burn softwood. Make sure any stove insert has a liner sized to its outlet; a stove venting into a large, unlined fireplace flue runs cool, builds creosote quickly and drafts poorly.
For exterior damage, early repointing and a new crown are far less expensive than a rebuild after water has been working inside the stack for several winters. After masonry repairs we recommend a breathable waterproofing treatment, which lets the brick dry out but keeps rain and meltwater from soaking in and refreezing. Caps should be sized and fastened for wind exposure on ridges and lakefronts.
