Wintervale Bros handles chimney repair calls in Murray seven days a week, including nights and holidays. Crews travel from the Highland Drive shop straight up State Street or 900 East to reach brick homes built between the 1950s and 1970s that line the blocks around Murray City Park and Murray High School. Cold, snowy winters followed by warm spring days create repeated freeze-thaw stress on mortar joints and flue liners, so technicians check for hairline cracks before they widen.
Narrow driveways and mature trees common on streets east of the Jordan River limit where the service truck can park, so the team brings compact scaffolding and hand tools suited to tight lots. Hot summer days also dry out clay flue tiles, making them brittle when the first snow load hits. Homeowners near Hillcrest Junior High and the Intermountain Medical Center campus often request same-day inspections after heavy storms because wind-driven snow packs inside uncapped chimneys.
Every job starts with a visual check from the roof and a camera scan of the flue. Repairs focus on matching existing brick and mortar so the stack blends with the original 1960s construction found throughout Murray.

Chimney Repair in Murray — Local Notes
- •Murray's mid-century brick homes experience repeated freeze-thaw cycles that crack crown caps and loosen flue tiles more than in newer subdivisions.
- •Smaller lots near Murray Parkway and the Jordan River create drainage pockets that keep chimney bases damp longer into spring.
- •Access along 5300 South and Vine Street often requires street parking and hand-carrying materials because driveways are too narrow for full-size equipment.
- •Wind patterns off the Wasatch front push snow into south-facing flues on homes west of State Street, increasing the chance of interior creosote icing.
