When to Call
When to call a professional chimney repair service
While some minor chimney repairs can be done by homeowners, there are certain situations where it is best to call a professional. If you notice any of these issues, seek professional help.
Cracks or deterioration
If you see cracks or signs of deterioration in your chimney, it is crucial to have it inspected by a professional. These issues can compromise the structural integrity of the chimney and pose a safety risk.
Chimney leaks
Water stains on your ceiling or walls near the chimney could indicate a chimney leak. A professional can identify the source of the leak and provide the necessary repairs to prevent further damage.
Chimney blockages
If your chimney is not drawing properly or you notice a strong odor coming from it, there may be a blockage. Attempting to remove a blockage yourself can be dangerous.
Chimney fires
If you have experienced a chimney fire, even a small one, have your chimney inspected and repaired by a professional. Chimney fires can cause hidden damage that may not be immediately visible.
Carbon monoxide concerns
If you suspect a carbon monoxide leak from your chimney, seek professional help immediately. Carbon monoxide is a silent and deadly gas, and exposure can be life-threatening.
Water Damage
The Impact of Water on Your Chimney
As chimney repair contractors, we want to help you prevent the elements from harming your masonry. For instance, as odd as it may seem, water causes more damage to chimney masonry than fire. While the brick and/or other materials that make up the exterior of your home are protected by the roof and eaves, your chimney is completely exposed to the elements; rain, snow, and freeze/thaw cycles.
A masonry chimney is constructed of a variety of masonry and metal materials, including brick, mortar, tile, steel and cast iron. These kinds of materials deteriorate quickly when exposed to the freeze/thaw process, in which the moisture that has penetrated the materials periodically freezes and expands, causing undue stress. Water also causes rust in steel and cast iron, weakening or destroying the metal parts of your chimney.
Water penetration can cause
- Spalled and broken brickwork
- Deteriorated metal or masonry firebox assemblies
- Rusted damper assemblies
- Rotted adjacent wood and ruined wall coverings
- Deteriorated central heating system
- Decayed mortar
- Cracked fuel liner systems
Protection
Protecting your chimney
Chimcare offers an important maintenance procedure that most homeowners overlook: sealing your chimney to waterproof it against absorbing moisture. Our commercial-grade sealer will waterproof your chimney for 10 years.
Water protection is the primary concern where brick chimneys are concerned, and our chimney repair services help repair any damage caused from moisture. With a sealing service and/or installation of protective features such as chimney caps, flashing, and liners, our chimney repair company can help keep your chimney safe from fire and water damage in the future, too!

- Chimney sealing (water-repellent)
- Chimney caps
- Flashing
- Liners

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common chimney repair questions. Need something else? Call (888) 855-2889 and we’ll help.
There are several common signs that indicate the need for chimney repairs. One of the most obvious signs is visible damage to the chimney structure, such as cracks, crumbling mortar, or loose bricks. Another sign is water leakage, which can manifest as water stains on the ceiling or walls near the chimney, or even water pooling inside the fireplace. Additionally, if you notice a strong odor coming from your chimney, it could be a sign of a blockage or buildup of creosote, which requires professional cleaning. Other signs include difficulty starting a fire, excessive smoke or soot buildup, or a damper that doesn’t open or close properly. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your chimney inspected and repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of your home.
Chimney inspections and cleanings should be done at least once a year. This is recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to ensure the safety and efficiency of your chimney. Regular inspections can help identify any potential issues or damage that may have occurred over time, such as cracks, blockages, or creosote buildup. Cleanings are necessary to remove any debris, soot, or creosote that may have accumulated in the chimney, which can pose a fire hazard. It’s important to hire a professional chimney sweep to perform these inspections and cleanings, as they have the expertise and tools to properly assess and maintain your chimney.
Chimney repairs should always be done by professionals. While there may be some minor repairs that homeowners can handle themselves, such as cleaning the chimney or replacing a chimney cap, more extensive repairs should be left to the experts. Chimneys are complex structures that require specialized knowledge and skills to repair properly. Attempting to do repairs yourself can not only be dangerous but can also lead to further damage and costly repairs down the line. It’s best to hire a reputable chimney repair company that has the experience and expertise to assess and fix any issues with your chimney.
