Chimney Repair & Sweeping in Silver Spring, MD: what local homeowners should know
Silver Spring is dominated by 1930s–1960s brick Colonials, Cape Cods and ramblers, many with original block or brick foundations and older plumbing. Many chimneys on older Silver Spring homes have no liner or a cracked clay liner, and freeze-thaw cycles break down crowns and mortar joints. A Level 2 inspection is commonly recommended when buying a home or after a chimney fire.
