Salcedo Masonry LLC FAQ

Have a masonry-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • Do I need a cap?

    Yes. A chimney cap keeps animals, insects, and rain out of your chimney. If your cap is missing or damaged, contact us today for swift chimney repair services. 

  • What is the difference between a rebuild and a repair?

    A chimney rebuild is a teardown of the existing chimney and a rebuild of a new chimney. Chimney repairs consist of fixing minor issues with services like repointing and crown resetting.

  • How often should I clean my chimney?

    It's important to clean and inspect your chimney yearly. If you burn more than two cords of wood in a season, it should be cleaned twice. For gas and oil furnaces, you would just need a cleaning and inspection once yearly. According to the EPA, there are more than 13 million chimneys and fireplaces in use every year. They all need chimney services to stay fully functional winter after winter.

  • What is flashing for a chimney?

    Set flashing and counter flashing are forms of vapor barriers that protect the wood of the home from the heat of the furnace. If you have any concerns about the state of your chimney's flashing, contact us today for chimney repair services.

  • How do you reline a chimney?

    To reline a chimney, professionals replace your terracotta flue with a stainless steel liner. These chimney services are significant upgrades that can extend the life of your chimney.

  • Does water repel help a chimney?

    Water repel helps the chimney last longer by keeping rain and moisture off the chimney. If you're concerned about water damage, contact us for chimney repair and upgrade services.
