At Coopertown Services, we pride ourselves on being Memphis’s oldest and largest chimney service company. Recently, we undertook a significant project for a homeowner in Cordova who sought regular maintenance for their factory-built chimney. The primary goal was preventive maintenance to avoid any potential water issues that could compromise the integrity of their home.
Understanding the Challenge
The homeowner contacted us after finding our services through an online search. They were concerned about the state of their chimney, particularly given the visible wear and rusted cover, which indicated potential moisture intrusion. It was essential to address these issues promptly to prevent any further damage caused by water ingress.
Initial state of the chimney with visible wear and rusted coverOur Comprehensive Approach
The first step was a thorough inspection by our certified technician, Kate. We evaluated the condition of the chimney, noting deteriorating paint, exposed wood, and a rusted chimney cover. The presence of snow on the roof underscored the urgency of addressing these issues before more severe weather could exacerbate them.
We decided on a multi-faceted approach involving chimney inspection, replacing the chase tops and covers, and applying waterproofing solutions to ensure long-term protection against water damage.
Executing the Plan
The project began early in the day with Kate leading our team. We started by removing the old, rusted cover and carefully stripping away deteriorated paint and exposed wood. Our team then installed a new, high-quality chimney cover designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while enhancing the home’s aesthetic appeal.
Refurbished chimney with new trim and coverThe next step involved redressing the flashing around the chimney to ensure no gaps were left for moisture to seep through. This meticulous attention to detail is what sets Coopertown Services apart—we leave nothing to chance when it comes to protecting our clients’ homes.
Finally, we applied a specialized waterproofing solution designed for chimneys. This product penetrates deeply into surfaces, forming an effective barrier against moisture while allowing any trapped vapors to escape. This dual-action approach ensures robust protection without compromising breathability.
Immediate Results & Long-Term Benefits
The entire project was completed within a day—a testament to our team’s efficiency and expertise. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing that their home is safeguarded against future water damage.
