Roof Leak Repairs | Leaky Chimney Repair Service

​We 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 Roof Flashing Repair

We Fix Roof Leaks

The area above the roof-line where the chimney protrudes through the roofing materials is susceptible to water leaks and roof damage. A multiple layered chimney flashing system, when installed correctly, will seal the contact between your chimney and roof. An adequate chimney flashing system is vital in preventing water and snow from leaking through your roofing structure.

Code Compliant Masonry Chimney Cap

​A properly constructed chimney cap (crown) will flow water from the centre outward, and will have an overhang and drip edge to shed water away from the chimney chase (chimney structure).  An improperly constructed and functioning chimney crown or chase cover is often the root cause of most chimney related water damage.

Chimney Rain Caps

Prevent Water Damage

Installing 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 Rain Cap Installation Service

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 Joints

​Masonry 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).
