My chimney leaks water
A leaking chimney has one of five common sources. Sealing the wrong one wastes money and the leak comes back. We test and photograph before quoting.

Need a Repair? Free Inspection Before We Start the Work
We look first, photograph what we find, explain the visible condition and the options, then price the work. You decide before anything begins.
Applies to the initial evaluation before applicable repair, restoration, fireplace and masonry work. Dedicated inspections — real-estate transactions and specialized Level 2 or Level 3 inspections — are separate priced services.
Common causes
- • Failed or tarred-over flashing at the roofline
- • Cracked or missing chimney crown
- • Missing or undersized chimney cap
- • Porous or unpointed masonry absorbing water
- • Rusted-through chase cover on a prefab chimney
What we do
- • Water test and camera inspection to find the entry point
- • Photo documentation of the actual failure
- • Repair scoped to the source, not a blanket sealant job
- • Waterproofing only after the structural fix
