Why chimneys leak
Most chimney leaks start at the top or the base
Water finds its way in through a rusted chase cover on top of the chimney or through failed flashing where the chimney meets your roof.
Many homes with wood-framed or sided chimneys have a metal chase cover on top. Over time, cheaper galvanized covers rust through, hold standing water and let it drip straight down into your chimney chase and ceiling.
At the base, flashing and sealant break down with heat and weather. We inspect both, find the real source of the leak and fix it right the first time.

Chimney flashing
Worn or poorly installed flashing where the chimney meets the roof is replaced and sealed so water sheds away instead of in.
Chimney leak repair
We trace chimney leaks to the source, whether it’s the cover, the flashing, the siding or the roof around it, and repair it.

Questions
Chimney repair FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
What is a chimney chase cover?
It’s the metal cap that covers the top of a framed or sided chimney chase. It keeps rain, debris and animals out while letting the flue vent.
Why use stainless steel for a chase cover?
Stainless steel resists rust far better than galvanized steel, so it lasts longer and won’t streak or rust through and leak.
Can you make a custom chase cover?
Yes. Chimneys come in many sizes, so we measure your chimney and fit a chase cover to it. Roofers can use our free chase cover measurement tool.
My ceiling stains near the chimney. Is it the chimney or the roof?
It could be either. We inspect the cover, flashing and surrounding roof to find the real source before recommending a repair.
Is chimney repair covered by your warranty?
Yes. Every repair we complete comes with our warranty at no extra cost.
