Chimney Leak Repair & Waterproofing

Chimney leaks can occur due to various reasons such as damaged flashing, cracked chimney crown, deteriorated mortar joints, or faulty chimney cap. Additionally, weather conditions like heavy rain or snow can exacerbate these issues. Regular chimney inspections and maintenance can help prevent leaks. If you're experiencing a chimney leak, it's best to have a professional chimney  contractor assess and repair the problem.
Repairing a chimney leak typically involves identifying the source of the leak, fixing the underlying problem, and sealing the area to prevent further water entry. Here’s a step-by-step guide for repairing a chimney leak:
1. Identify the Source of the Leak

  • Roof Flashing: The flashing around the base of the chimney is a common leak point. If the flashing is loose, damaged, or corroded, water can seep through.
  • Cracked Chimney Crown or Mortar: Over time, the chimney crown or the mortar between bricks can crack and allow water to penetrate.
  • Damaged Chimney Cap: If your chimney cap is cracked or missing, rain or snow can get into the chimney, leading to leaks.
  • Damaged Chimney Liner: If the liner is cracked or damaged, water can leak into your home.

 2. Prepare the Area

  • Ensure the fireplace or wood stove is cool and not in use.
  • Use a ladder to access the chimney, or if it's hard to reach, consider hiring a professional.
  • Protect the area around the chimney inside your home with drop cloths or tarps.

 3. Repair the Leak

  • Flashings: If the flashing is the issue, you might need to re-seal it with a high-quality roofing sealant. If it’s damaged, it may need to be replaced entirely. Flashing should be installed so that it directs water away from the chimney.
  • Chimney Crown or Mortar: For cracked chimney crowns, you can apply a special crown repair product or use cement to seal the cracks. Similarly, if mortar joints are cracked, tuckpointing (replacing old mortar) may be necessary.
  • Chimney Cap: If the cap is damaged, it’s relatively simple to replace it with a new one. Make sure the new cap fits snugly and covers the entire top of the chimney.
  • Chimney Liner: If the liner is cracked, a professional may need to install a new one, as repairing liners can be complex and require special materials.

 4. Waterproof the Chimney

  • After the repairs are made, use a waterproof sealant designed for masonry and chimneys to prevent further water infiltration. Be sure to use a breathable sealant that allows moisture to escape but prevents water from getting in.

 5. Inspect Chimney Annually

  • After your repairs, it’s a good idea to inspect the chimney regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. This can prevent future problems.

Chimney Leak Repair Specialists

A chimney leak can be a headache! It's essential to address it promptly to prevent water damage and structural issues. Have you noticed any specific areas where the leak is coming from, like the flashing, chimney crown, or masonry joints?

Chimney leaks can occur due to various reasons such as damaged flashing, cracked chimney crown, deteriorated mortar joints, or faulty chimney cap. Additionally, weather conditions like heavy rain or snow can exacerbate these issues. Regular chimney inspections and maintenance can help prevent leaks. If you're experiencing a chimney leak, it's best to have a professional chimney  contractor assess and repair the problem

To prevent chimney leaks, follow these steps:

Regular Inspections: Schedule annual chimney inspections by a professional chimney sweep to identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems.

Repair Damaged Flashing: Ensure that the flashing, which seals the area where the chimney meets the roof,is in good condition. Replace any damaged flashing to prevent water from seeping into the chimney.

Maintain Chimney Crown: Check the chimney crown regularly for cracks or deterioration. Repair any damage promptly to prevent water from entering through the chimney top.

Seal Mortar Joints: Inspect the mortar joints between the chimney bricks for signs of deterioration. Repoint or seal any damaged joints to prevent water penetration.

Install a Chimney Cap: A chimney cap acts as a barrier against rain, snow, debris, and animals entering the chimney. Ensure that your chimney has a properly installed cap to prevent leaks and other issues.
