How we execute chimney repair in Fort Trumbull
Fort Trumbull's building stock is a mix of historic brick chimneys and newer metal flues, and each needs a different approach. On the brick chimneys around Beacon Hill, we start with a smoke test kit to find air leaks, t
Salt air corrodes flashing and metal components
Galvanized flashing fails in 5 to 7 years near the water. Rusted flashing lets water into the roof deck and ceiling.
How we help: We replace flashing with copper or stainless steel, which handle salt exposure far better. We also seal every fastener and check the counter-flashing at the same time.
Wind-driven rain penetrates cracked crowns
Crown cracks that would be minor inland become major leaks when rain is blowing sideways off Milford Harbor.
How we help: We rebuild crowns with a proper slope and apply flexible crown sealant. On exposed chimneys, we add a stainless cap with a wide overhang to deflect rain.
Historic brick needs matched mortar
Modern mortar is harder than the original brick and causes spalling. Using the wrong mix accelerates damage on Fort Trumbull's older homes.
How we help: We test the existing mortar and match it with tuckpointing mortar in the right ratio. We use a mortar mixing paddle to get consistent color and texture, and we repoint joints to the original profile.
