Chimney Repair & Sweep in University City, MO
St. Louis County · Largely 1920s–1940s brick, Tudor and Colonial
University City is where we are based, so it is usually the fastest response we can offer. The housing stock here is dominated by 1920s and 1930s brick — a lot of Tudor Revival with decorative chimney work that is beautiful and, unfortunately, full of exposed corners and offsets where water gets in. In the older parts of U City the original clay flue tiles are now approaching a century old and cracked tile is one of the most common findings we report.

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.
