For chimney repair in Orem, Utah County Masonry Contractors brings a crew that works in brick, block, stone and concrete. Chimney work includes rebuilding deteriorated crowns, repointing the stack and relaying top courses where bricks have worked loose. The crown at the top of a chimney takes the worst of the weather, and once it cracks, water runs down into the brickwork and eventually the house. Flashing where the chimney meets the roof is checked on every job, because many chimney leaks start there rather than in the brick itself. Known as Family City USA, Orem is also home to Utah Valley University, and the rental areas near campus see heavy wear on steps and walkways. The team gives a straight assessment of whether something can be repaired or needs to be rebuilt. Concrete leveling and fireplace repair are also part of its work. Projects in Vineyard, Lindon and American Fork are handled too.
