Chimney Repair
Stopping water at the chimney
No hidden fees, no guesswork and a workmanship warranty on the finished repair.
Leaks with more than one source
A chimney can have two defects at once, such as a cracked crown and loose counterflashing. Repairing one reduces the leak while the other keeps it going.
The estimate lists each repair on its own line, with the reason it is included, so you can see how the whole leak is being addressed. If you prefer to repair in stages, we explain which item is most likely to stop the water first and what to watch for afterward.
How a leak estimate is written
A leak estimate names each part being repaired, the method and the materials, so you can see how the work answers the evidence. Temporary protection, water testing and interior work appear as separate items when they are needed.
The inspection behind the estimate is free, there are no hidden fees and the price is agreed before work begins. Book within 72 hours of the inspection and 10% comes off, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee covers the finished repair.
Crown coatings for hairline cracks
A crown with fine surface cracks but sound concrete underneath can be sealed with a flexible coating made for chimney crowns. The coating bridges the cracks and sheds water while the crown keeps its shape.
A coating is not a substitute for a crown that is broken through or holding water. We tell you which condition the crown is in and why, and the coating is applied to its maker's instructions on a clean, dry surface.
Roof water aimed at the chimney
A roof valley, an upper roof or a gutter can send concentrated water against the side of a chimney. That flow can overwhelm flashing that would handle ordinary rain.
Where the water on the roof comes from matters as much as where it goes in. When runoff is part of the cause, we explain the chimney side of the fix and name any roofing or gutter change that would reduce the flow.
