Cornerstone Chimneys

Oklahoma weather is tough on brick. Between summer heat, heavy rain, and winter freezes, your masonry chimney takes a beating.

Over time, that can lead to:
• Small cracks that let in moisture
• Loose or missing mortar joints
• Brick faces starting to flake or spall

Catching these issues early with a professional inspection makes repairs simpler and more cost‑effective.

We get this question a lot: “Do I need a chimney sweep or an inspection?”

A sweep focuses on cleaning out soot and buildup.
An inspection focuses on the structure and safety of your chimney system.

For older masonry chimneys, a detailed inspection is often the first step. From there, we can recommend cleaning, repairs, or both.

If you haven’t had your chimney properly inspected in a while, call (918) 251‑3480 or message us to schedule a visit.

Every year, once the first cool front hits Oklahoma, our schedule fills up fast. Summer is the calm before the rush.

If you own an older home with a masonry chimney, now is the easiest time to:
• Get a thorough inspection
• Take care of needed masonry repairs
• Be ready to use your fireplace with confidence when temperatures drop

Skip the fall wait list. Call (918) 251‑3480 or send us a message to book your inspection ahead of the busy season.

On a recent project in Broken Arrow, a customer called us about “a few cracks” on their chimney.

Our inspection found:
• A cracked crown that was letting water in
• Deteriorated mortar joints along the top courses
• Early signs of brick damage from years of weather

We rebuilt the crown, repointed the masonry, and sealed everything properly. The finished chimney looks sharp again and is ready for many more years of use.

Not sure if your chimney needs attention? Here are a few easy‑to‑spot signs:

• Staining or discoloration on the brick
• Crumbling mortar or loose pieces around the chimney
• Water spots on the ceiling or wall near your fireplace
• Smoke that doesn’t draft the way it used to

If you’ve noticed any of these around your masonry chimney, it’s a good idea to have it inspected. Call (918) 251‑3480 or message us to get on the schedule.

This week we inspected a beautiful older home in midtown Tulsa. The owners hadn’t used the fireplace much but wanted it ready for fall.

During the inspection we found:
• Loose bricks near the top of the chimney
• Hairline cracks in the crown from years of Oklahoma weather
• A cap that was past its prime

Our team repaired the masonry and installed a proper cap so the chimney is ready for many more seasons.

If your home has an older brick chimney, we’re happy to take a look. Call (918) 251‑3480 to schedule an inspection.

Most of the masonry chimneys we see around Tulsa were built long before today’s building standards. Summer is the perfect time to give them a little attention.

Here’s what a quick chimney inspection can catch early:
• Small cracks in the brick or crown
• Mortar joints starting to wear out
• Missing or damaged caps that let in rain and debris
