Crumbling bricks and deteriorating mortar joints are more than just an eyesore—they're entry points for water.
Our masons specialize in tuckpointing, a precise process of removing old mortar and replacing it to restore your chimney's structural stability and weather resistance.
Chimney Leak Diagnosis & Repair
A leak around your chimney is one of the most common and destructive issues a homeowner can face.
Our unique expertise as both roofers and masons allows us to accurately diagnose the source of the leak, whether it's from damaged flashing, a cracked crown, or porous brick, and provide a permanent solution.
Crown Repair & Rebuilding
The chimney crown is the concrete slab at the top of your chimney that prevents water from entering the flue.
Cracks in the crown are a serious issue. We can seal minor cracks or completely rebuild a deteriorating crown to provide a durable, waterproof seal.
Chimney & Fireplace FAQs
How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
Common warning signs include water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace, crumbling or missing mortar between bricks, white staining (efflorescence) on the exterior, a cracked chimney crown, or a musty smell when the fireplace isn't in use. If you notice any of these, call us for a free inspection.
What is tuckpointing and why does it matter?
Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from between the bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. It's essential because mortar breaks down over time from weather exposure. Left unchecked, water penetrates the joints and can cause serious structural damage — and expensive repairs — to your chimney and home.
Should I stop using my fireplace if I suspect chimney damage?
Yes, we recommend stopping use of the fireplace until a professional inspection is completed. Damaged chimneys can be fire hazards or allow dangerous gases like carbon monoxide to enter your home. Call us right away — we offer prompt inspections throughout the Greater Cincinnati area.
Can you fix a chimney that's causing water to leak inside the house?
Yes — chimney leaks are one of our specialties. Because we're both roofers and masons, we can diagnose whether the leak is coming from the flashing, the chimney crown, porous brickwork, or the surrounding roof — and provide a permanent fix, not just a patch.
How long does chimney repair take?
Minor repairs like crown sealing or flashing fixes are typically completed in a single visit. More involved work like tuckpointing or crown rebuilding may take one to two days depending on the extent of the damage. We'll give you a clear estimate before starting any work.
