How We Actually Fix Your Leak

First, we find the real source. Not just where you see water—where it’s actually getting in. We inspect flashing, check mortar joints, examine your chimney crown, and test the brick itself.

Then we fix it right. Damaged flashing gets replaced with quality materials like copper or stainless steel. Porous bricks get treated with breathable sealants that block water but let trapped moisture escape. Cracked crowns get properly rebuilt, not just patched.

Finally, we verify the repair works. We don’t just pack up and leave. We check our work, clean the area, and make sure you understand what we did and why it will hold up to Providence County’s weather.

How do I know if my chimney leak is serious enough to repair?

Any visible water damage means it’s time to act. Water stains on ceilings or walls near your fireplace, dampness inside the firebox, or that musty smell when it rains are all signs water is getting where it shouldn’t. The thing about chimney leaks is they don’t get better on their own. What starts as a small stain becomes rotted framing, mold problems, and thousands in structural repairs. We’ve seen minor leaks turn into major restoration projects because homeowners waited. If you’re noticing any signs of moisture, get it checked now. A small repair today prevents a big problem tomorrow, and it’s always less expensive to fix it early.

What's the difference between fixing flashing and sealing brick?

Flashing problems happen where your roof meets the chimney—that metal barrier that’s supposed to keep water out. When flashing fails, water runs down between your roof and chimney, usually showing up as leaks in your attic or upper floors. Brick sealing addresses water soaking through the masonry itself. Providence’s freeze-thaw cycles make bricks porous over time, letting water penetrate the chimney structure. This causes different damage patterns—usually staining lower on walls or dampness in basements. The repair approach is completely different. Bad flashing gets replaced with quality metal and proper installation. Porous brick gets treated with breathable sealants that block water but don’t trap moisture inside the masonry.

How long do chimney leak repairs actually last in Rhode Island?

Done right with quality materials, chimney leak repairs should last 15-20 years or more. We’ve got customers from our early 2000s work whose repairs are still solid today. The key is using materials designed for New England weather. Cheap sealants fail in 2-3 years. Hardware store flashing corrodes quickly in our climate. We use breathable waterproofing that handles freeze-thaw cycles and metal flashing that stands up to Providence winters. Your repair longevity also depends on catching problems early. A small crack sealed properly lasts decades. Wait until water has damaged the underlying structure, and even the best repair has a shorter lifespan because it’s working with compromised materials.

Should I use my fireplace while my chimney has a leak?

No. Using a fireplace with a known leak makes the problem worse and creates safety risks. Heat and moisture accelerate damage to already-compromised structures. You’re essentially steaming water deeper into your masonry and framing. What might have been a straightforward repair becomes a more extensive restoration project. There’s also the safety factor. Compromised chimney structures can fail unexpectedly, and moisture in the wrong places can affect your chimney’s ability to vent properly. That’s not a risk worth taking for a cozy fire.

How much do chimney leak repairs typically cost in Providence County?

Simple flashing repairs typically run $300-$400. Crown work ranges from $150-$300 for minor repairs. More extensive damage involving multiple components can reach $1,000-$3,000 depending on what needs fixing. The real cost isn’t the repair—it’s what happens if you don’t fix it. We’ve seen $400 flashing repairs turn into $10,000+ restoration projects when water damage spreads to framing and interior spaces. Every situation is different, which is why we provide free estimates. We’ll assess your specific leak, explain exactly what needs fixing, and give you a clear price upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Do you offer any financing options for chimney repairs?

Yes, we provide flexible financing solutions to help manage repair costs without putting strain on your budget. We understand that chimney problems don’t always happen at convenient times financially. Our financing options let you get the repair done now while spreading the cost over time. This is especially important with leak repairs—waiting to save up money often means the damage gets worse and more expensive to fix. We’ll discuss financing options during your estimate appointment. The goal is making sure you can get quality repairs when you need them, not when it’s most convenient for your cash flow.
