Chimney Repair & Sweep in Des Peres, MO
St. Louis County · 1960s–1980s, with extensive renovation
Des Peres has seen heavy renovation and expansion of its original 1960s and 1970s housing, and renovation is where chimney problems get created. When a house gets an addition or a new roof, the chimney flashing gets disturbed and frequently reinstalled badly. When a fireplace gets a new gas insert, the flue often needs a liner sized to the insert and does not always get one. Both are things we find repeatedly here.

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.
