Chimney Repair & Sweep in Ballwin, MO
St. Louis County · 1960s–1990s subdivisions
Ballwin is largely postwar and late-century subdivision housing, which means a mix of simple masonry chimneys and factory-built units depending on the decade. The masonry chimneys from the 1960s and 1970s are now at the age where original crowns — often just a thin skim of mortar with no overhang — have cracked through. That thin-crown design was standard practice at the time and it is the single most common repair we quote in this part of the county.

Why Greater St. Louis chimneys take such a beating
St. Louis runs through roughly 40 to 50 freeze-thaw cycles a year. Water soaks into brick and mortar, freezes, expands, and splits it apart. This is the single biggest cause of chimney damage in the region.

Chimney Cap Installation
A chimney cap is a metal cover with mesh sides that sits on top of the flue. It keeps out rain, animals and debris, and stops burning embers from landing on your roof. It is the cheapest part of a chimney and it prevents the most expensive problems.
