Another long day on the tools tackling earthquake-damaged chimneys and making homes safe.

Many of these older brick chimneys have suffered significant damage over the years and are now at risk. Our focus is on safely removing unstable masonry and carrying out temporary waterproofing to protect homes until insurance claims can be assessed and permanent repairs completed.

Having our new scissor lift and a great crew behind us is making a huge difference. It's helping us work more safely, more efficiently, and get through more jobs each day.

A massive thank you to our team for their hard work and to our clients for their patience. We're proud to be helping homeowners make their properties safe and weather-tight while they navigate the insurance process.
If you have an earthquake-damaged chimney that needs to be made safe or waterproofed, get in touch.

We're here to help.
