Looking for chimney repair in Richmond, VA? Clear Path Chimneys serves Richmond and the surrounding the City of Richmond area. Richmond's historic homes have many original masonry chimneys, so crown repair, relining, and animal caps are common before fireplace season. Every visit starts with a free inspection and an upfront price on site — no service call fee, and you only pay if you book.

Which fix fits your situation?

If you see cracked or crumbling brick, you need repointing or masonry repair before water spreads behind it.

If water is getting in, it is usually the crown or flashing — a targeted seal. The trade-off is a few-hundred-dollar fix now versus structural water damage later.

If the flue itself is damaged, a reline is the durable fix; we confirm which on a free inspection.

Not sure? Text a photo and a local Richmond tech will tell you before any truck rolls.

What we handle

✓ Crown & masonry repair
✓ Repointing & spalling brick
