Chimney Repair
General repairs to masonry, liners, dampers, and fireboxes so your chimney is safe to use again.
Chimney repair covers everything from a cracked firebox to a damaged flue liner to loose mortar joints. Because a chimney is exposed to weather, heat, and freeze-thaw cycles year-round, it tends to need more upkeep than the rest of a house.
We diagnose the specific cause before repairing — a leaking chimney, for example, might be a crown problem, a flashing problem, or a masonry problem, and each has a different fix.
Signs You May Need This Service
- Visible cracks in the firebox or flue liner
- Water staining on the ceiling or wall near the chimney
- Loose or missing mortar between bricks (spalling)
- A damper that won't open, close, or seal properly
How It Works
- Diagnose the root cause, not just the visible symptom
- Provide a written estimate before any work begins
- Complete repairs using materials matched to your chimney's construction
- Re-inspect the repaired area before closing out the job
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my chimney needs repair or just cleaning?
Cracks, water damage, and mortar loss need repair; soot and creosote buildup need cleaning. An inspection is the fastest way to tell which one you're dealing with.
Is chimney repair covered by homeowners insurance?
It depends on the cause and your policy — sudden damage (like a lightning strike) is more commonly covered than gradual wear. We can provide documentation for a claim either way.
