• Don’t just take our word for it, check out our 450+ 5-Star Google Reviews water away from the sides of the chimney. Concrete crowns on brick or block chimneys, should have an overhang with a drip edge which prevents water from running down and eroding the mortar joints. If you’re missing a 4-5” concrete slab with an overhang and drip edge atop the masonry, that’s a strong indicator of water intrusion problems. We can pour a new crown for your chimney or apply Crown Coat to seal any cracks you may have in your chimney crown.

When your crown isn’t de ecting water away from the sides of your chimney, water seeps through your mortar joints. is problem becomes even larger when the moisture freezes and expands. Freezing water expansion exerts tremendous pressure on surrounding masonry materials, creating cracks which then allow more water in. As this cycle continues, the damage compounds with each freeze and thaw. Eventually there may be no mortar le at all, allowing rain or snowmelt directly into your home. Our chimney experts can repair water damage to masonry and mortar, keeping your chimney leak free and maintaining the integrity of your home.

If you don’t have a masonry chimney, you’re still at risk of chimney leaks. If you have a framed wooden box, called a “chase”, enclosing your venting system, those materials can also wear out and allow water into your home. e top of a chase system must have a proper cover, chimney cap, and storm collar. e weakest point of the chase is the sheet metal chase cover. Chase covers are more susceptible to rain and hail than masonry chimneys. Over time, dents form and the cover sags on top, collecting water and rusting through. A new chase cover is sloped from the center with drip edges designed to shed water away from the sides of the chase. If water runs down the sides of your chase, it can enter through gaps in the façade on your chase. Chases are also ashed to the roo ine, and that can be another area water sneaks its way in to wreak havoc on your home.
