Crown, Flashing or Mortar: Finding the Failure
Before quoting, we work out where the water is getting in. Stains that appear only in heavy rain at the ceiling next to the chimney usually point to flashing. Damp brick inside the attic or around the firebox points to the crown or the mortar. Each fix is priced separately, so you are not paying for a rebuild when a reflash will do.

Chimney Repair FAQs for Passaic County
Still have a question?
(201) 757-3945Why does my chimney leak?
Through the flashing where it meets the roof, a cracked crown on top, or worn mortar joints. We find which before quoting.
Do you rebuild chimney crowns?
Yes. A cracked crown lets water straight into the masonry; we repair or rebuild it depending on its condition.
Is chimney flashing a roof job or a mason's job?
Flashing is roofing work and the most common chimney leak. Crowns and mortar are masonry; we tell you which one your chimney needs.
Do you repoint chimney mortar?
Yes, where the joints have worn and are soaking up water.
