Do You Need Chimney Repair?
Leaking After Rain
Water showing up around the fireplace after a storm usually points to a failed crown, cap, or flashing. We trace the source and seal it properly.
Cracked Chimney Crown
Hairline or open cracks in the crown let water into the chimney structure. Crown repair or rebuild stops the damage.
Crumbling Mortar
Deteriorated mortar joints weaken the chimney. Tuckpointing restores strength and weather resistance.
Loose or Spalling Brick
Bricks flaking, popping, or shifting need masonry repair before the structure is compromised.
Rusted or Damaged Flashing
The chimney-to-roof connection is one of the most common leak points. Flashing repair seals it.
Smoke Drafting Issues
Smoke pushing into the room can mean a blocked or damaged flue, cap, or liner that needs inspection and repair.
Water Stains on Walls
Stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney signal hidden moisture intrusion — usually fixable with targeted repair.
Missing Chimney Cap
No cap means rain, debris, and animals enter the flue. We repair or replace the cap with a properly fitted unit.
