Need chimney leak repair? Water at the chimney almost always traces back to the flashing, the crown, or the liner. The hard part isn't the fix — it's finding exactly where it's getting in. That's what the free inspection is for.

Which fix fits your situation?

If the leak shows up only in heavy rain, it is usually flashing or the crown — a targeted seal fixes it.

If you have attic condensation or staining, it may be the liner or an unlined flue; the trade-off is a bigger fix now versus structural water damage later.

If you have had several opinions already, a free inspection gives you one clear, on-site answer.

Not sure? Text a photo and a tech will point you the right way before any truck rolls.

What we handle

Flashing repair matters when the leak only shows in heavy rain; a new liner matters when attic condensation or staining points to the flue.

What homeowners say

“The tech called before he came, showed me photos of the cracked crown right on his phone, and gave me the price on the spot. No pressure, no upsell. Honestly refreshing.”
— Dana M., New Haven, CT
“Our cap blew off in a storm and they were out the next morning. Clean, on time, and a good bit cheaper than the first quote I got. They left zero mess.”
— Robert P., Minneapolis, MN
“I'd been putting the chimney off for two winters. One free inspection and I finally knew what I was actually dealing with. Booked it before they left.”
— Allie T., Richmond, VA
