Common Masonry Chimney Problems3 Common Types of Chimneys in Wisconsin

Wisconsin homes and businesses typically use three main chimney construction types:

  1. Stone Chimneys: While stone chimneys offer classic visual appeal, harsh Midwest weather often causes loose stones, mortar deterioration and moisture intrusion. Professional chimney repair and waterproofing help preserve structural integrity. 
  2. Brick Chimneys: Brick chimneys are one of the most common residential chimney systems. Typical issues include cracked bricks, failing mortar joints and water damage. Tuckpointing and brick replacement restore strength and appearance.
  3. Concrete Block Chimneys: Concrete block chimneys provide modern versatility but can develop cracking, spalling and structural movement during freeze-thaw cycles. 

Common Masonry Chimney Problems

  1. Weather Damage: Constant exposure to severe Wisconsin weather leads to masonry deterioration. Even a single storm can loosen bricks or compromise mortar joints.
  2. Condensation Issues: Temperature changes inside fireplaces create moisture buildup, which can stain ceilings, chimney openings and surrounding walls.
  3. Deteriorated Chimney Linings: Chimney liners protect masonry and nearby structural materials. Cracks in liners can lead to masonry damage and safety risks.
  4. Obstructions: Creosote buildup, debris and nesting animals can block airflow. Blocked chimneys trap smoke and may allow carbon monoxide to enter living spaces. 

Custom Restoration Inc. provides complete chimney repair services, including liner repair, masonry restoration and obstruction removal. Our masonry contractors bring more than 20 years of experience serving commercial and residential Milwaukee and Waukesha property owners.

How to Know if You Need Chimney Repair 

Chimneys play a critical role in safely venting smoke and combustion gases. Visible cracks, loose bricks, water stains or interior drafts often signal masonry damage. Prompt chimney repair protects property value and occupant safety.

How Much Will a Chimney Repair Cost?                          

Chimney repair costs depend on several project-specific factors:

  1. Current Chimney Condition
    Severe masonry damage often requires additional labor, materials and scaffolding.
  2. Number of Flues
    Multiple flue systems connected to furnaces, boilers or water heaters increase repair complexity.
  3. Chimney Construction Type
    Masonry chimneys require specialized restoration techniques, while prefab chimney systems typically involve lower material costs.

What Our Customers Say

I highly recommend Custom Restorations for any of your masonary needs! They did such a great job with tuck pointing on my house in the Pasadena neighborhood of Wauwatosa, WI. Communication was excellent and the team made sure to address any and all areas. Scott & John are phenomenal to work with. Can’t recommend enough!

Connor B

We’ve used Custom Restoration for two masonry projects on our Southeast Wisconsin home, and both experiences have been excellent. The first was a partial chimney rebuild, and from the very beginning, Scott (the president) stood out. He came out personally to assess the project and was genuine, transparent, and never pushy—something we didn’t experience with other companies we received quotes from. While his estimate wasn’t the lowest of our available options, it was still very reasonable, and his honesty and professionalism made him the clear choice. He was easygoing, knowledgeable, and made us feel confident that we were in good hands. He also took the time to answer all of my (many!) questions over email leading up to the project, which really spoke to his level of care and customer service. His crew did a phenomenal job, and we were so happy with the results that when we needed foundation repairs a year and a half later, we didn’t even consider getting additional quotes—we went straight back to Custom Restoration. Once again, the work was completed quickly, professionally, and beautifully. I would highly recommend Custom Restoration to anyone in need of masonry work. If you’re looking for honesty, quality craftsmanship, and fair pricing, this is the company to call—you won’t be disappointed.

Allison V

This is the second project that Scott and his team have done for me. The work has been done properly and was fairly priced. They are so kind and the communication has been great. I would highly recommend Custom Restoration for any masonry work.

Jonathan R

Choosing the right contractor usually means prioritizing two out of three key factors: price, speed, and quality. However, Scott’s business defies expectations by excelling in all three areas! The team's professionalism, dedication, and craftsmanship were apparent throughout! The masons are not only genuine and friendly, but also well experienced. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of their work and could not be more satisfied with the results. I had full exterior work done with plugging holes, mortar, chimney, and underneath the window sills.I highly recommend Custom Restorations!

Justin V

Excellent work on our 1970’s building. All our windows leaked and Custom Restoration was able to repair around each window and replace block. Their team was efficient, professional and got the job done. Now the spring is here and we’ve had the first few rain storms, it’s amazing that there are no more leaks and our window sills remain dry!
