Chimney Repair & Sweep in Fenton, MO
St. Louis County · 1970s–1990s subdivisions around a much older river town
Fenton sits on the Meramec, and the river is the reason chimney work here looks different from anywhere else in the county. Homes on the low ground have taken water repeatedly — 1982, 1993, 2015 and 2017 are the ones people still talk about — and masonry that has been soaked and dried that many times loses its mortar from the inside out, long before the brick face shows anything. Above the floodplain the story is the other one: streets of 1970s and 1980s subdivision housing built with factory-built metal fireboxes rather than masonry, and those have a service life of roughly 20 to 30 years. Most of Fenton's are past it.

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.
