Characteristics of Historical Home Fireplaces/Chimneys
- It's truly amazing how well these old structures stood up to the harsh elements of nature over such a long time period.
- These magnificent structures represent a past heritage that we can enjoy and hopefully our grandchildren for many more generations to come will be able to also enjoy and reflect on this historical heritage.
- These structures can last and remain useable for many more years with proper repair and maintenance.
- This can be accomplished without altering the historical appearance of these time tested beauties. ("Jewels in the Rough")
- Most historical homes' fireplace and/or chimney are badly deteriorated due to age and use.
- The mortar becomes powdery and completely falls out.
- Weak mortar can cause a chimney to structurally collapse.
- Quite often the bricks also become powdery even falling completely out leaving large holes in the chimney.

- Weak or missing bricks can also cause a chimney to collapse.
- When a chimney structure reaches this stage of aging it becomes very unstable.
- These "Jewels in the Rough" can regain life with proper repair and it's original beauty can again be enjoyed for many years into the future.
- We structurally strengthen these fireplace/chimney structures from the inside out. View this picture information
- After structurally strengthening from the inside out then aged mortar is replaced with new - replicating the original mortar and style.
