Masonry Chimneys & Essential Maintenance
Heat&Glo Pros
Do You Have a Masonry Chimney?
Not sure if your chimney is masonry or factory-built (prefab)? While they can look similar—especially when prefabricated chimneys are enclosed in a brick casing—there are key differences.
✔ Masonry chimneys are built with brick, mortar, and stone and have a firebox made of yellowish firebrick. When you look up past the damper, you’ll see a brick pyramid structure inside the chimney.
✔ Prefab chimneys feature metal fireboxes with cast refractory panels. If you look inside, you’ll notice a round metal chimney flue extending above the roof, sometimes enclosed in a simulated brick housing.
Still unsure? Contact Heat&Glo Pros for a professional chimney inspection to ensure your fireplace is safe and up to code.

Masonry Chimney Maintenance & Waterproofing
Protect Your Chimney from Leaks and Structural Damage
Your masonry chimney is constantly exposed to the elements, leading to potential hazards like weather-damaged flue linings, loose masonry, and obstructions that can pose a serious risk to your home. Regular chimney maintenance and waterproofing can help prevent costly repairs in the future.
Why Waterproof Your Chimney?
Masonry chimneys are built with materials like brick, concrete, stone, and mortar, which can absorb water and deteriorate over time. This leads to:
🔹 Cracks & Erosion – Weakens the structure of the chimney
🔹 Mold & Moisture Damage – Causes leaks inside your home
🔹 Freezing & Thawing Damage – Expands cracks and accelerates wear
