Chimney Leak Detection
Find the leak
before you fix it.
Chimney leaks almost always come from one of four places. We check them in order, isolate the real source, then quote a targeted fix, so you pay to solve the problem instead of throwing sealant at it and hoping.
The four places water gets in
Ninety percent of chimney leaks come from one of four failure points: a cracked or missing crown, a failed cap, bad flashing at the roof line, or open mortar joints that are wicking water into the structure. We inspect each one before we commit to a diagnosis, and we show you what we found in photos.
Why guessing costs you money
The most expensive chimney repair is the wrong one. We've seen homeowners pay for new caps when the flashing was the problem, or pay for flashing replacements when it was actually the crown cracking and letting water track down inside the brick. Figuring out the water path first is the single biggest money-saver we offer.
Same-day written quote
We come out, walk the roof, look at the firebox from the inside, and put a written estimate in your hands before we leave. If the fix is small, we'll say so. If it's bigger than you were hoping, we'll explain why and what happens if you wait.
