  • Freeze-thaw cycles causing cracks in masonry
  • High winds & storm damage

Specialized Chimney Repairs

Every chimney cleaning includes our 14-point safety inspection to spot cracks, leaks, or hidden issues before they become costly repairs. Catching problems early can save you from expensive services like:

Restoring Brick & Mortar

Bricks may last a century, but mortar joints deteriorate much faster. We provide tuckpointing and brick replacement to strengthen your chimney structure and extend its lifespan.

Chimney Leak Repair

Leaks are often caused by damaged mortar, missing caps, cracked crowns, or faulty liners. We locate and repair leaks, then waterproof your chimney to prevent future damage

Chase Covers & Chimney Caps

Your first line of defense against rain, snow, and animals. We repair and replace chase covers, top pans, and chimney caps to protect your flue system from costly damage.

Chimney Crown Restoration

Crowns protect your chimney from water damage. Our crown repairs and crown coat applications can add up to 15 years of life to a worn crown when restored promptly.
