Fix your chimney in the summer!
The weather in Maryland is as unpredictable as it is beautiful, that being said, chimneys suffer from all the weather has to offer. For example, a brick or stone fireplace is affected by the freeze/thaw cycles. Water works its way into the spaces between the stone and freezes, causing the stones to separate. In the summer, the rains shoves even more water into those cracks, thus starting the process all over again.
So, make sure you call Chimney Care Plus, we can make sure your chimney is ready for the fall! We offer chimney repair services for folks in Frederick, Mt. Airy, Hagerstown, Myersville, and the surrounding areas.
