Another Chimney Upgrade Complete!

We recently replaced an old, worn-out galvanized false chimney with a brand-new stainless steel chimney surround built to last. Stainless steel offers superior durability, weather resistance, and a clean, updated appearance that will hold up far better against the elements than traditional galvanized materials.

If your chimney chase cover or false chimney is showing signs of rust, deterioration, or staining, replacing it before leaks develop can save you from costly repairs down the road.

✅ Durable stainless steel construction
✅ Improved curb appeal
✅ Long-lasting protection from the elements
✅ Expert installation at a fair price

At Chimney Swift Home Repair, we take pride in delivering quality workmanship and expert care for less than the competition.

🔨 Chimney Rebuild 🧱

We recently completed a full chimney rebuild on a previously painted brick chimney, along with new shingles, flashing, and a code-required cricket.

🧱 Why we don’t recommend painting brick chimneys

This project is a perfect example of what can happen when brick is sealed with paint. While it may look good short-term, paint traps moisture inside the masonry. Over time this leads to:

* 🧊 Freeze–thaw damage in colder months
* 🧱 Spalling and surface breakdown of the brick
* 💧 Moisture retention and hidden deterioration within the chimney structure
* ⚠️ Accelerated mortar joint failure

Brick is designed to breathe. Once it’s sealed, that natural moisture movement is blocked, and the chimney starts breaking down from the inside out.

🏗️ What we did on this project

* Full chimney teardown and rebuild
* Removal of deteriorated painted brick
* Installation of new step flashing and counter flashing tied into the roof system
* New shingles installed around chimney tie-in areas
* Added a code-required chimney cricket to properly divert water around the uphill side of the chimney

🧭 Why the cricket matters

A chimney cricket (or saddle) is required by code on larger chimneys to prevent water from pooling behind the structure. Without it, that area becomes a common leak point and can cause long-term roof and decking damage.

⸻

This system is now properly flashed, properly drained, and built to last—addressing both structural integrity and water management the right way

A beautiful day for a chase cover install!

Before & After

We recently installed a new chase cover for a client in Brownsburg.

The original chase cover was unsupported and pooling water in addition to being fastened from the top.

Needless to say the original chase cover was leaking.

We swiftly installed a new properly supported and properly fastened stainless steel chase cover as well as a new stainless steel flue cap.
