Your chimney is a vital part of your home, ensuring proper ventilation, safety, and energy efficiency. Over time, wear and tear, weather damage, and neglect can lead to structural issues, leaks, and even fire hazards. At Primus Home Improvements, we provide professional chimney repair services in London and surrounding areas, keeping your home safe, warm, and efficient.

Why Chimney Repairs Are Essential

A damaged chimney can lead to serious problems, including:

• Fire hazards (cracked flue liners, creosote buildup)

• Carbon monoxide leaks (blockages or poor ventilation)

• Water damage (leaks causing mold, rot, and structural weakening)

• Poor heating efficiency (drafts, smoke backing up into the home)

Regular inspections and timely repairs can prevent costly damage and ensure your chimney operates safely.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair

Don’t wait for major damage—look for these warning signs:
✔ Crumbling or spalling bricks
✔ White staining (efflorescence) – indicates moisture problems
✔ Rusty damper or firebox components
✔ Water leaks in the attic or near the chimney
