Chimney Repair for Lebanon Township chimneys
Wood heat is common in Lebanon Township, and chimneys here work through long, cold winters. Flues build creosote, stoves are often connected to masonry chimneys that were built for open fireplaces, and caps disappear under falling limbs. Older farmhouses have brick or stone chimneys in soft mortar, while newer homes have masonry chimneys or prefabricated fireplaces in framed chases.

We install caps, rebuild crowns, repoint and waterproof masonry, replace chase covers, rebuild flashing and install stainless-steel liners sized to wood stoves, inserts and heating appliances. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Lebanon Township housing
Lebanon Township's housing is mostly detached homes on wooded lots, from older farmhouses in the stream valleys to capes, ranches, split-levels, contemporaries and colonials built from the 1960s through the 2000s on the hillsides. Many homes have wood stoves or fireplaces, skylights and decks. Asphalt shingle is by far the most common roof, with some metal on rural properties and outbuildings.
Weather & exposure
The township sits higher and is more heavily wooded than most of the county. Tall trees overhang many roofs, dropping leaves, needles and limbs, and keeping shingles shaded and damp. Snow arrives earlier and stays longer on the ridges, and ice storms coat trees and roofs alike. Wind is broken by the forest on most lots, but hilltop homes and cleared lots take it directly.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Lebanon Township
If you heat with wood, have the chimney inspected and cleaned every year before the heating season, and more often with heavy use. Make sure any stove or insert vents through a properly sized liner. Burning dry, seasoned wood reduces creosote between cleanings.
For the masonry, a crown with a proper overhang, a screened cap, sound mortar joints and a breathable water repellent protect against damp and freeze-thaw. We also recommend keeping limbs trimmed away from the chimney, and we check the roof flashing whenever we work on a stack.
