Leak Diagnosis & Repair
We diagnose leaks from the roof, not from the ground — evaluating cap, chase cover, flashing, crown, and masonry to find where water is really getting in.
A chimney leak is rarely a simple problem — water can enter through several points, and fixing the wrong one just wastes money. Chimspector's technicians climb onto the roof, check the attic, and evaluate every entry point before proposing a repair built to last.

What’s included
Flashing is the first place we look. Failed or poorly layered flashing is repaired or replaced, then sealed with FlashSeal.
Missing or corroded caps, rusted chase covers, and cracked crowns — replaced in stainless or rebuilt to shed water.
Tuckpointing where the masonry has failed, then ChimneySaver vapor-permeable water repellent on sound brick.

Frequently asked questions
Common signs are water stains near the fireplace, a musty smell from the firebox, rust on the damper, and efflorescence (white deposits) on the exterior masonry.
It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden storm damage is more commonly covered than gradual deterioration — check with your provider directly.
A cap covers the flue opening on a masonry chimney; a chase cover is a metal pan that covers the full top of a prefabricated chimney chase.
