About this Project
At Integrity Chimney, we believe a chimney should do more than look good. It should be properly maintained, protected against the elements, and designed to work with your home's heating needs.
For this Portland, Oregon project, our team completed a comprehensive chimney restoration along with a gas fireplace conversion, addressing both the exterior masonry and the interior fireplace.
From repairing deteriorating mortar joints to installing a custom chimney cap and upgrading the fireplace with a new gas insert, this project combined essential chimney maintenance with modern fireplace convenience.
🧱 Chimney Tuckpointing & Masonry Restoration
Over time, Oregon's wet weather can take a toll on brick chimneys. Moisture penetrates aging mortar joints, leading to deterioration and potentially more extensive masonry damage.
Our team performed chimney tuckpointing, removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar to restore the chimney's masonry joints.
Benefits of professional tuckpointing include:
-
Restoring deteriorated mortar joints
-
Helping reduce moisture penetration
-
Preserving the chimney's structural integrity
-
Improving the overall appearance of the brickwork
-
Extending the service life of the masonry
🏠 Chimney Flashing & Crown Coating
Water intrusion is one of the biggest threats to masonry chimneys in the Pacific Northwest.
For this project, we addressed two important areas of chimney protection.
Chimney Flashing: Installed flashing to help protect the connection between the chimney and roof, directing water away from this vulnerable area.
Chimney Crown Coating: Applied a protective crown coating to help prevent moisture from penetrating the chimney crown and contributing to cracking and deterioration.
Together, these improvements help protect the chimney from Portland's frequent rain and seasonal weather changes.
🔨 Custom Chimney Cap Installation
A properly fitted chimney cap is an important part of protecting your chimney system.
Our team installed a custom chimney cap designed to accommodate the chimney's venting configuration while helping protect the openings from rain, debris, and unwanted animal entry.
The finished cap also provides a clean, professional appearance that complements the restored brickwork.
🔥 Gas Line Routing & Installation
As part of the fireplace upgrade, our team completed the gas line routing and installation necessary to supply the new gas fireplace insert.
The project included routing the gas piping along the exterior of the home and connecting the gas supply to the fireplace installation.
Proper gas line installation is essential for reliable fireplace operation and must meet applicable safety and code requirements.
🔥 Gas Fireplace Insert Installation
The final phase of this project transformed the existing fireplace into a convenient gas-burning heating feature.
Our team installed a gas fireplace insert, creating a warm and inviting focal point for the living room.
Benefits of a gas fireplace insert include:
-
Convenient operation without hauling firewood
-
No wood ash to clean up
-
Consistent, controllable heat
-
A realistic flame appearance
-
A clean, updated fireplace design
The finished installation complements the home's existing fireplace surround while bringing modern functionality to the living space.
The Finished Project: Exterior Protection Meets Interior Comfort
This Portland chimney restoration demonstrates how exterior masonry repairs and interior fireplace upgrades can work together to improve a home's functionality and appearance.
With restored mortar joints, protective flashing, crown coating, a custom chimney cap, and a newly installed gas fireplace insert, the homeowners now have an updated fireplace system and improved protection for their masonry chimney.
