Hamilton has some of the oldest brick housing in the region. Neighbourhoods like Durand, Kirkendall and Westdale are full of century homes with tall brick chimneys, and many of them have seen a century of freeze-thaw with only occasional patching.
Repair is a large share of our Hamilton work: repointing, crowns, spalled brick and rebuilds of stacks that have gone too far. Sweeps and WETT inspections for the wood-burners in Ancaster, Dundas and Waterdown make up the rest.
What we see in Hamilton
- Century chimneys in Durand and Kirkendall are often past repointing and need a partial rebuild.
- Houses on the Mountain get more exposure to wind than those below the escarpment.
- Wood-burners in Ancaster, Dundas and Waterdown need yearly sweeps.
