Brick, age and weather on Gallatin chimneys
Historic chimneys are repaired with matching brick and lime mortar, and a sweep who works with a mason experienced in old masonry keeps the chimney original.
Chimneys on the older masonry houses are repointed in lime mortar, and a repair in hard modern mortar spalls the brick; the sweep’s mason should know that.
The 2000s houses have factory-built gas fireplaces that need a different inspection — the vent, the logs and the valve — and a sweep who services gas units is the right one.
The site affects the chimney at the top — trees that drop into the flue, wind off the water that drives rain into the cap — and the inspection starts with the cap and the crown.
Brick-veneer houses have masonry chimneys that crack at the crown and the shoulder, and water is the cause; the repair is the crown, the cap and sometimes the flashing.

What sends Gallatin homeowners to the fireplace
A lot of the housing stock in East Nashville and Germantown has original clay-lined flues that were never sized for a modern insert, which is the most common reason we recommend relining.
- A sharp, tarry smell in warm weather
- Birds, squirrels or nesting noise
- Water staining on the wall beside the hearth
- Crumbling mortar or brick above the roofline
Treating a cap as optional. A cap keeps out rain, birds and downdraught. It is the cheapest part on the chimney and prevents the most expensive damage.
