What we look for on Alhambra chimneys

Alhambra's housing runs from the 1920s to today, and the older brick chimneys show their age at the joints first. On those stacks we test how soft the existing mortar is before we mix anything, then repoint to match it. We also look inside the chimney, because a smoke chamber with rough or missing parging can push smoke back into the room. Parging can be restored without touching the outside brick at all. If the crown has cracked through, we tell you whether a patch will hold or a new crown is the better fix. Every finding comes with a photo you can keep. Inland heat through an Alhambra summer dries mortar and opens fine cracks across the crown. Those cracks look harmless until the first rain, when water gets into the brick and around the flue tiles. Most wear here comes from that cycle of heat and water. Sealing a crown crack early and refilling washed-out joints keeps a small job from turning into a rebuild above the roofline.

The Masonry

Our Alhambra work centers on original brick chimneys from the 1920s on, older fireplaces with worn smoke chambers, and later masonry additions.
