Exterior Bricks
Okay, if your exterior chimney is constructed of Old Chicago style bricks,
don’t fret. Like the old gambler says, “You gotta play the hand that’s dealt you.” There
may be some deteriorated bricks in your chimney, but be wary of a contractor telling you they have to tear down and replace
all the bricks.
