Roof Leak Repairs | Leaky Chimney Repair ServiceWe specialize in fixing leaking chimneys. Chimneys are a common water leak area on a home and often go unnoticed until there is extensive damage. A chimney that is properly constructed will include a code compliant chimney cap, chimney flashing installed at the roof contact, sealed mortar joints, water sealed bricks, a rain cap, sealed storm collar and areas around the chimney flue. Regular chimney inspections and fireplace and chimney maintenance can help prevent the damage created from a leaking chimney.

Chimney Rain Caps
|
Prevent Water DamageInstalling a chimney rain cap on top of the chimney flue will protect the interior flue liner from rain and water entry. Chimney systems that do not have chimney rain caps installed, often results in erosion and decay inside your fireplace or chimney system. A chimney rain cap with a spark arrestor also helps keep birds, or other wildlife from entering your chimney or home.

Chimney Water Seal Maintenance Service
Installing a high quality, flexible, breathable, masonry water sealant will help prevent water damage. A chimney that is not water sealed, is subject to damage due to water absorption through the exterior chimney chase surfaces. A masonry water sealer is best applied every five years or when required.
Chimney Cap Construction and Custom Chase Cover Installation Services
The crown or chimney cap is the very top portion of the chimney. The National Building Code of Canada and Provincial Building Codes define the top of a masonry chimney as a chimney cap. This term can often be confused with a chimney rain cap or fireplace chimney termination rain cap (small metal cap to prevent water from dripping down the interior chimney flue or liner).
Mortar Joint Repair
|
Water Damage and Decayed Mortar JointsMasonry chimneys have mortar joints between the bricks, stone or blocks. Over time these joints can erode and allow water to enter. We install mortar joints that are tight, sealed and have an architectural joint finish that repels water with the least amount of erosion (concave).
