Chimney Repair, Rebuild & Waterproofing

It depends on how deep the damage goes. Surface issues like crumbling mortar joints can usually be fixed by repointing. But if bricks are spalling, the crown is cracked through, or the structure has visible lean, a partial or full rebuild may be needed. We provide free inspections with photos so you can see exactly what is happening.

The most common culprits are failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof, a cracked or missing chimney crown, missing or worn-out cap, and porous brick that has lost its waterproofing. We diagnose the source and fix it at the root, not just the symptom.

Yes — caps prevent rain, snow, animals, and debris from getting into the flue. They are inexpensive insurance against major problems like flue blockage, animal nests, and water damage to the firebox and damper.

Most repointing and minor repair jobs take a single day. Full rebuilds typically take 2 to 5 days depending on the chimney height and complexity. We always confirm the timeline before starting.

It depends on the cause. Sudden damage from storms, falling trees, or lightning is usually covered. Gradual deterioration from normal weathering is generally not. We can help document any storm damage for your claim.
