Water can enter at several points on a chimney, so the stain inside your home may not sit directly below the source. We inspect the chimney and its connections to the roof to identify the repair that addresses the entry point.
Water stains near the fireplace
Brown marks, damp plaster, or peeling paint near a fireplace can point to water coming down or around the chimney. We check the chimney components and the area where it meets the roof rather than treating the interior stain alone.
A roof leak near the chimney
Water appearing around a chimney after rain can come from damaged flashing or another part of the chimney assembly. We inspect the connection and determine whether flashing repair, masonry work, or another chimney repair fits the condition.
Cracked or worn chimney masonry
Gaps in mortar or damaged brick can let water reach deeper into the chimney structure. We assess the masonry and can handle tuckpointing, masonry repair, or a crown repair when those components are involved.
A damaged chimney crown
The crown covers the top of a masonry chimney, and cracks or deterioration there can give water a path inside. We inspect its condition and can repair the crown or recommend another measure based on what we find.
A missing or damaged chimney cover
A damaged cap or chase cover can leave the chimney opening exposed to water. We check the cover and can install a chimney cap or replace a chase cover when that is the source of the leak.
What Our Chimney Water Leak Repair Can Address
A repair starts with finding how water is getting into the chimney system. The work depends on the affected components; we explain the recommended repair and limit the work to services your home needs.
- Chimney and roofline inspection — We look over accessible chimney components and the point where the chimney meets the roof to narrow down where water enters. This helps separate a chimney leak from a problem that needs a different repair.
- Flashing repair — We check the flashing around the chimney and repair it when its condition is contributing to water entry. The flashing connection matters because it joins the chimney to the roof surface.
- Crown and masonry repair — We can address damaged crowns, brick, or mortar through chimney crown repair, masonry repair, or tuckpointing. The repair selected depends on which masonry component is allowing water through.
- Chimney cap installation — When a missing or damaged cap is part of the problem, we can install a chimney cap. A properly fitted cap covers the chimney opening while allowing the system to function as intended.
- Chase cover replacement — For a chimney with a damaged chase cover, we can replace the cover as part of addressing the leak. We check the existing cover and surrounding area to determine whether replacement is needed.
- Waterproofing when appropriate — We offer chimney waterproofing when the chimney’s condition calls for it. It is considered alongside any needed repairs, rather than used as a substitute for fixing damaged flashing, masonry, or other components.

How We Find and Repair a Chimney Leak
The time a visit takes depends on what the inspection finds and how much repair work the chimney needs. We explain the work before starting, so you know what the repair covers.
- Share what you have noticed — Tell us where you see water or staining and when it appears, such as during or after rain. Photos taken safely from inside or from ground level can help show how the problem has changed.
- We inspect the chimney — We examine the chimney components related to water entry, including the crown, masonry, cap or chase cover, and roof flashing as relevant. The aim is to identify the source instead of relying only on the location of an indoor stain.
- We explain the repair and price — We describe which component needs attention and what work we recommend. The repair scope and cost depend on the condition and parts involved, and we provide a quote for the job.
- We complete the agreed work — After you approve the repair, we address the identified chimney issue and check the repaired area. If the findings point to a separate concern, we explain it before doing additional work.
What Chimney Leak Repair Costs Depend On
The cost of chimney leak repair depends on where water enters and what condition the affected parts are in. Repairing flashing, a crown, or sections of masonry involves different work from replacing a chimney cap or chase cover, so we assess the components before quoting the job.
We explain the recommended work and provide a quote based on the repair your chimney needs. Call us at (385) 243-7715 or contact us for a quote. If inspection shows that the issue calls for broader chimney repair, we can handle that work too.

Frequently asked questions
How much does chimney leak repair cost?
The cost depends on the source of the leak and the condition of the affected parts. A flashing repair, crown repair, masonry repair, or cover replacement can involve different work, so we inspect the chimney and quote the repair it needs.
How do you repair a leak around a chimney?
We inspect the chimney and the roof connection to find the point where water is entering. Depending on the findings, the repair may involve flashing, the crown, masonry, a chimney cap, a chase cover, or waterproofing.
How can you fix a chimney leak without treating the wrong area?
An indoor stain does not always show where water entered, so we check the chimney components and roofline rather than repairing only the visible mark. We explain the source we find and the work needed to address it.
Can you repair a roof leak near a chimney in Salt Lake City?
Yes. We serve Salt Lake City and inspect the chimney-to-roof connection when water appears near the chimney. If the cause is damaged flashing or another chimney component, we can recommend the repair that matches the problem.
Do you travel outside Salt Lake City for chimney leak repair?
Yes. We serve Salt Lake City and towns across the Wasatch Front within 60 miles, traveling to the customer’s property. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What should I do before a chimney leak repair visit?
Note where you see water or staining and whether it shows up during or after rain. You can share photos taken from a safe place, but do not climb onto the roof to inspect the chimney.
