Chimney Rebuilding in Northbrook, IL

When a chimney is leaning, severely deteriorated, or has extensive loose masonry, repair alone may not be enough. A partial rebuild (often above the roofline) or a full rebuild restores the structure with new masonry.

Signs You May Need Chimney Rebuilding

  • Leaning or visibly shifting chimney
  • Extensive loose or missing bricks
  • Widespread mortar failure
  • Damage from long-term water intrusion

Seeing one of these signs doesn't automatically mean major work is needed. An evaluation helps determine what's going on.

Potential Solutions

Partial rebuild

Rebuilding the damaged portion of the chimney, often above the roofline.

Full rebuild

Taking the chimney down and rebuilding it when the structure calls for it.

Crown & cap installation

Finishing the rebuild with components that help shed water.
