Colorado's weather is tough on chimneys. Cold winters mean fireplaces are used a lot. Then, hot summers can mean rain and even hail. This constant change causes cracks and leaks. We see a lot of damage from freeze-thaw cycles, where water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and makes them bigger. Loose bricks and deteriorating mortar are common issues we fix.
