Chimney Masonry Repair in San Tan Valley, AZ

San Tan Valley lies southeast of Gilbert, past Queen Creek, and is one of the fastest-growing communities in the region. Most of its housing is relatively new, built in master-planned subdivisions over the last couple of decades. That means most San Tan Valley chimneys are still fairly young — but young doesn't mean trouble-free, because builder-grade crowns, caps and flashing in this climate often show problems within their first ten to fifteen years.

The desert conditions here are as demanding as anywhere in the east valley: caliche soil that drains poorly, punishing summer heat that cycles masonry open, and monsoon storms that arrive with wind and heavy rain. On newer chimneys the first failures are almost always the thin factory crown cracking or a light cap rusting and loosening, both of which let storm water into the structure long before the brick itself would fail.
