Chimney Leak Repair Specialists
Fireplace chimneys are key to providing warmth and ambiance in many homes, but they can also be a source of water damage if not properly maintained. A chimney leak can lead to costly repairs, including water damage, mold growth, and even structural deterioration. Understanding how to spot, fix, and prevent chimney leaks is essential to keeping your home in top condition.

Crown Repair
A cracked or damaged crown allows water intrusion, leading to masonry deterioration and interior damage—prevent this by replacing it with a new, durable crown.

Chimney Top Repairs
A damaged, rusted, or missing chimney cap or chase top allows water, debris, and animals inside, leading to blockages and moisture issues—prevent this by installing or replacing the cap.

Flashing Repair
Damaged or missing flashing allows water penetration at the chimney-roof junction—prevent leaks by repairing or replacing the flashing.

Masonry Repair
Damaged masonry weakens the chimney and allows moisture penetration—restore strength and protection with repointing, brick replacement, and waterproofing.

Internal Repair
Damaged masonry weakens the chimney and allows moisture penetration—restore strength and protection with repointing, brick replacement, and waterproofing.
