Chimney Repair for Andover Township chimneys

Chimneys in Andover Township range from tall brick stacks on old farmhouses to masonry chimneys on 1960s and 1970s ranches and prefabricated metal fireplaces in framed chases on newer colonials. Wood burning is common, and many fireplaces now hold stove inserts that run for much of the winter. The county's long freeze-thaw season and wind across the open valley wear on all of them.

Asset Roofing & Chimney inspects, cleans, repairs, relines and rebuilds chimneys throughout Andover Township. We repair crowns, replace caps and chase covers, repoint and waterproof masonry, install stainless-steel liners and rebuild flashing at the roofline. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.

Andover Township housing

Andover Township's homes are mostly 1960s through 2000s ranches, raised ranches, split-levels and colonials on wooded or open lots, with older farmhouses scattered along the rural roads and smaller lake homes around the township's lakes. Steep-slope asphalt shingle is the norm on houses. Commercial and light industrial buildings along Route 206 add flat and low-slope roofs, and wood-burning fireplaces and stoves are common.

Weather & exposure

The township mixes open valley fields, where wind crosses with little to slow it, and wooded hillsides that keep roofs shaded and gutters full. It has the county's cold winters, heavy snow and long freeze-thaw season, and lakeside homes add moisture to the picture. Summer thunderstorms bring gusts and falling limbs.

Repair, repoint or rebuild in Andover Township

If you burn wood in Andover Township, have the chimney inspected and cleaned every year before the heating season. If you added an insert or stove to an existing fireplace, confirm that the flue has a liner sized to it. That one detail has a large effect on safety and creosote buildup.

For masonry chimneys, repointing, a new crown and a breathable water repellent are usually enough if the work is done before the damage goes deep. For prefab chimneys, the chase cover, storm collar and chase siding deserve as much attention as the flue.

Andover Township Specifics

Chimney problems we see in Andover Township

Stove inserts in original fireplace flues

An insert venting into a large masonry flue without a liner runs cool and builds creosote quickly. A stainless-steel liner sized to the insert improves draft and makes cleaning far more effective.

Rusted chase covers on newer homes

Prefabricated fireplaces in wood-framed chases rely on a sheet-metal cover at the top. When it rusts or sags, water ponds and leaks into the chase, rotting framing and staining walls inside.

Wind-stripped caps in open country

Chimneys on open valley lots lose caps in storms, and without one, rain and snow fall straight into the flue. A properly fastened cap is an inexpensive fix that protects the damper and smoke chamber.

Freeze-thaw cracks in crowns and brick

Cracked crowns let water into the top of the stack, where it freezes and opens the joints further. Left alone, the damage spreads down the chimney a few courses at a time.

FAQ

Chimney Repair in Andover Township: your questions

My chimney is a wood box with siding. Can you repair it?

Yes. That is a chase around a prefabricated fireplace flue. We replace rusted or ponding chase covers with properly sloped ones, reseal the storm collar and check the framing and siding of the chase for water damage.

How often should I have my wood stove chimney cleaned?

At least once a year, and more often if you burn heavily or burn softer wood. The annual inspection also checks the liner, cap and crown before the cold sets in.

Can an old farmhouse chimney be lined for a modern appliance?

In most cases yes. We inspect the flue, and if it is sound enough to support a liner, we install a stainless-steel liner sized to the stove, insert or heating appliance it will serve.

Should my chimney be waterproofed?

After repairs, a breathable water repellent helps masonry resist freeze-thaw damage. It lets moisture inside the brick escape while keeping rain from soaking in. We apply it as part of the repair when it makes sense for the chimney.
