Connecticut experiences cold, snowy winters and humid summers. This climate can lead to significant wear and tear on chimneys. Freeze-thaw cycles are harsh on masonry, causing cracks and spalling. Moisture can also seep into the structure, leading to interior damage. For gas fireplaces, proper flue function is essential for safety and efficiency. We address these challenges to ensure your chimney is sound.
