Why Level Two Chimney Lansdale Is Lansdale’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a disproportionate share of our repair work comes from Lansdale’s older borough core. The reason is straightforward: those coal-era multi-flue chimneys fail in predictable patterns that most sweeps miss because they don’t draft-test before they quote.

Our Lansdale customers find us after reading three-star reviews on other companies, and they stay because we show them camera footage before we name a price. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job we do in Lansdale, and our license number is displayed on every page of our site.

Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You’ll get a text when your technician is on the way, with a name and photo, and that technician arrives with a written scope, written price, and written warranty already prepared - Haven Standard Clause 1, “Have it in writing.” No “call for a quote.” No surprises after the ladder is up.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Lansdale

Mortar Repointing

Lansdale’s freeze-thaw cycle from November through March destroys mortar joints on chimneys built before 1930. We grind out failed joints to proper depth and repoint with color-matched Type N or Type O mortar, depending on the original brick hardness. On a recent job near the intersection of Broad Street and Main, we repointed a 1910 foursquare chimney where the previous contractor had used Portland-heavy mortar that was harder than the brick itself - a common error that accelerates spalling. We photographed every course before and after, under Haven Standard Clause 4.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling - the flaking or crumbling of brick faces - is epidemic in Lansdale’s 18942 and 19446 ZIP codes because century-old chimneys absorb freeze-thaw water through failed crowns and open mortar. We replace spalled brick with salvaged or matched new units, then address the water source. Brick repair without crown repair is temporary. We say so in writing.

Chimney Waterproofing

Lansdale’s inland position means less coastal salt but more dramatic temperature swings than Philadelphia proper, and unlined flues venting gas appliances condense moisture that migrates through brick year-round. We apply vapor-permeable silane/siloxane sealers from our Haven buying network, never film-forming coatings that trap moisture. A typical waterproofing job on a Lansdale twin runs $450-$780, including crown sealing and flashing inspection.

Flashing Repair

The junction where chimney meets roof is the most common leak point we find in Lansdale’s older housing stock, many of which have seen multiple roof overlays without flashing replacement. We fabricate custom step and counter flashing, integrate with existing roofing, and document the seal with photos. Materials come through our Copperfield and Famco supply lines.

Chimney Rebuilding

When spalling, mortar failure, and liner collapse converge - common on Lansdale chimneys where decades of deferred maintenance meet coal-era construction - we rebuild from the roofline up or perform partial teardowns as documented. Every rebuild quote includes a Level 2 camera inspection of the remaining structure so you’re not paying for masonry work atop a flue that needs relining.

Tuckpointing

We distinguish tuckpointing (decorative fine-line joint replacement) from structural repointing, and we tell Lansdale homeowners honestly which their chimney needs. Most 1920s Lansdale chimneys need structural repointing, not cosmetic tuckpointing. We say so before we quote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lansdale

We source repair materials through the Haven buying network specifically to keep Lansdale customer prices honest: DuraFlex stainless relining pipe, HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing mix for cracked clay tile, and Olympia Chimney components for cap and damper replacements. Famco and Copperfield flashing and hardware are stocked at our Philadelphia warehouse, so most Lansdale repairs don’t wait on parts. If your chimney needs a liner, we show you the camera footage, explain why DuraFlex or HeatShield fits your specific flue condition, and quote it in writing before ordering anything.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Lansdale Homes

• Cleaning the wrong flue on a coal-era multi-flue stack. Because nobody draft-tested first, the fireplace flue gets swept while the undersized furnace flue holding the actual creosote stays blocked. We test every flue before we touch a brush.
• Repointing without crown repair. New mortar looks good for one season, then Lansdale’s freeze-thaw cycle wicks water in from the cracked crown above and the joints fail again. We inspect and quote crowns with every repointing job.
• Full reline recommendations off a flashlight glance. An oversized unlined flue doesn’t always need relining; sometimes it needs a properly sized chimney cap and a damper that seals. We camera-scope before we recommend anything.
• Gas appliance venting into unlined coal flues. The flue runs too cool, creosote condenses on the oversized walls, and carbon monoxide risk rises. We measure flue dimensions against appliance output and document the mismatch.
