Notice the lean of the large, badly damaged chimney.
The moisture damage started from a leaking crown (top of the chimney) and worked its way down the entire structure. A full dismantle and rebuild of the entire structure was required.
Heavy duty equipment is brought in for proper demolition of large chimneys.
Our technician-- assessing the damage.
The mortar was so deteriorated that it
was possible to pull the bricks out by hand.
Notice
the irreparable damage to this
flue tile.
