Chimney & Fireplace Service in Security-Widefield, Colorado

Around Colorado Springs, strong seasonal swings and severe weather — including the region's well-known hail — are hard on the parts of a chimney that face the sky: the crown, cap, and chase cover. For homeowners in Security-Widefield and the surrounding communities, that means the same practical approach we bring everywhere: understand the system first, then recommend what actually makes sense.

Freeze-thaw is the quiet culprit

Masonry is porous, so it absorbs water. When that water freezes it expands, and over many freeze-thaw cycles the face of the brick can flake away — a process called spalling — while mortar joints open and crowns crack. It's rarely one dramatic event; it's the repetition that does the damage, which is why catching it early matters.

Water is the thing to keep out

Most chimney problems trace back to water getting somewhere it shouldn't. A missing cap, a cracked crown, worn mortar, or failed flashing all let moisture into the system, and once it's in, Colorado's cold does the rest. Keeping the top and the joints sound is the simplest way to protect the whole chimney.

Snow, flashing, and the roofline

Snow that sits against a chimney and then melts finds any weak point where the chimney meets the roof. Flashing is the seal at that joint, and it's one of the most common places a chimney leak actually starts — even when the stain shows up somewhere else inside.
