Two Decades of Getting It Right

We’ve been fixing chimney leaks in Cranston and throughout Rhode Island since 2000. Same core team, same commitment to doing the job right.

Our technicians are CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America. That’s not just a piece of paper – it means we know how chimneys actually work and why they fail.

Our Chimney Leak Repair Process

We Find the Real Problem First

First, we inspect your entire chimney system, not just the obvious wet spots. Leaks often start in one place and show up somewhere completely different. We trace the water back to its actual source.

Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and why it’s happening. You’ll understand whether it’s flashing failure, crown damage, cap issues, or something else entirely. No technical jargon, just clear answers.

Then we fix it using the right materials and methods for your specific situation. We don’t use one-size-fits-all solutions because every leak is different. The repair matches the problem, which is why it actually works long-term.

Everything Needed to Stop the Leak

Our chimney leak repair covers flashing replacement, crown repair, cap installation, and masonry restoration. If water is getting in, we have the tools and experience to stop it.

We handle the tricky stuff that causes most leaks to come back. Proper flashing installation around your roofline. Crown repairs that actually shed water instead of collecting it. Cap replacements that fit your chimney’s specific dimensions.

Cranston’s weather is tough on chimneys. Freeze-thaw cycles crack crowns. Wind-driven rain finds every gap in flashing. We’ve repaired hundreds of chimneys in this area, so we know what works and what doesn’t in Rhode Island’s climate.

How do I know if my chimney leak can be repaired or needs rebuilding?

Most chimney leaks can be repaired without rebuilding the entire structure. The key is identifying whether you’re dealing with flashing issues, crown problems, or actual structural damage to the chimney itself. During our inspection, we check the integrity of your chimney’s masonry, flashing system, and crown condition. If the brick and mortar are sound, we can typically fix the leak with targeted repairs. Complete rebuilds are only necessary when the chimney structure itself has failed, which is less common than most homeowners think.

Why does my chimney keep leaking after other contractors "fixed" it?

Most recurring leaks happen because the original repair targeted symptoms instead of causes. For example, sealing visible cracks might stop water temporarily, but if your flashing is failing, water will find another way in. Many contractors also use temporary solutions like caulk or roof cement that break down quickly in Rhode Island weather. We trace leaks back to their actual source and use permanent repair methods. That’s why our CSI certification matters – we understand how water moves through chimney systems and fix the real problem.

How much does professional chimney leak repair typically cost in Cranston?

Chimney leak repair costs depend on what’s actually causing the leak and how extensive the damage is. Simple flashing repairs might run a few hundred dollars, while comprehensive crown rebuilding or extensive masonry work costs more. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what needs to be done and why. No surprises, no upselling, just honest assessment of what your chimney needs. We also offer in-house financing for larger projects because we know unexpected repairs can strain budgets.

Can I fix chimney flashing leaks myself or should I hire professionals?

Chimney flashing repair involves working on your roof and requires specific knowledge about how flashing integrates with your roofing system and chimney structure. Improper flashing installation often makes leaks worse and can damage your roof. Professional installation ensures the flashing is properly sealed, angled for water runoff, and integrated with your existing roofing materials. Given that flashing failures cause most chimney leaks, it’s worth having CSI-certified technicians handle the repair correctly the first time rather than risking further damage with DIY attempts.

How long does chimney leak repair take to complete?

Most chimney leak repairs take one to two days, depending on the scope of work needed. Simple flashing repairs or cap installations can often be completed in a single day. More extensive work like crown rebuilding or masonry restoration might take longer. Weather plays a role too – we won’t do permanent repairs during active rain since proper curing is essential. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your free estimate and keep you updated if conditions change the schedule.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover chimney leak repair costs?

Insurance coverage for chimney leak repair depends on what caused the leak and your specific policy terms. Sudden damage from storms or falling trees is often covered, while gradual deterioration from normal wear typically isn’t. Water damage to your home’s interior from chimney leaks may be covered even if the chimney repair itself isn’t. We recommend contacting your insurance company before starting work. We can provide detailed documentation of the damage and repair needs to support your claim if coverage applies.
