Crumbling bricks and worn-out mortar joints let water into the chimney.
Our masons tuckpoint them: we remove the old mortar and replace it with fresh mortar, which makes the chimney solid and weathertight again.
Chimney Leak Diagnosis & Repair
Leaks around the chimney are common, and they do a lot of damage.
We're roofers and masons, so we can tell whether the water is coming through damaged flashing, a cracked crown or porous brick, and fix it for good.
Crown Repair & Rebuilding
The chimney crown is the concrete slab at the top of your chimney that prevents water from entering the flue.
A cracked crown lets water straight into the chimney. We seal minor cracks, or rebuild a crown that's falling apart so it seals tight again.
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 alone, water gets into the joints and can cause serious, expensive structural damage 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 and we'll get an inspection on the schedule fast, anywhere in Greater Cincinnati.
Can you fix a chimney that's causing water to leak inside the house?
Yes, chimney leaks are a big part of our work. We're roofers and masons, so we can tell whether the leak is coming from the flashing, the chimney crown, porous brickwork or the roof around it, and fix the cause for good.
How long does chimney repair take?
Minor repairs like crown sealing or flashing fixes get done in one visit. Tuckpointing or a crown rebuild takes one to two days, depending on how much damage there is. We'll give you a clear estimate before starting any work.
