Chimney Cap Repair Service
A damaged or deteriorating chimney cap leaves your entire ventilation system vulnerable to the elements. Our specialists diagnose issues with rusted metal, cracked concrete crowns, or loose mesh guards that allow water and pests inside. We offer targeted solutions to fix minor hardware damage before moisture destroys your flue.
Regular maintenance of this protective barrier prevents costly water damage down the road. Our team ensures your cap is securely anchored to withstand high winds and heavy downpours. By sealing small gaps early, we help you avoid invasive wildlife nesting in your warm ventilation architecture.
Chimney Flue Repair
The flue is responsible for safely channeling toxic exhaust, smoke, and intense heat away from your living space. Over time, high temperatures and acidic byproduct buildup cause the interior lining to crack, flake, or degrade.
- Comprehensive Restorations: We provide gas chimney repair and traditional wood-burning flue solutions to keep your system code-compliant.
- Fire Prevention: Our structural fixes address interior deterioration before it poses a fire risk to your surrounding walls.
- Thermal Resistance: We utilize high-grade materials that resist thermal shock and prevent dangerous gas leaks from entering your home.
- Proactive Maintenance: Regular diagnostic checks allow us to catch hidden flue issues before they require a total system overhaul.
Chimney Cap Replacement
When structural damage is too severe for a simple fix, a full chimney cap replacement is the most cost-effective long-term strategy. We install durable, custom-fit caps designed to prevent rain, debris, and animals from entering your open stack. Upgrading this component improves draft efficiency and adds an extra layer of fire safety to your roofline.
Our replacement inventory includes premium multi-flue caps and heavy-duty single flue options tailored to your architectural style. A proper installation seals the topmost vulnerability of your ventilation system from harsh outdoor elements. This straightforward upgrade significantly extends the lifespan of your interior chimney components.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Chimney flashing creates a waterproof seal at the critical junction where your masonry intersects with the roofline. When this metal barrier warps, rusts, or pulls away, water flows directly into your attic and ceilings. Our contractors specialize in precision flashing repair to keep your home completely dry.
We replace failed tar applications and corroded metals with high-quality counter-flashing systems. This meticulous process ensures seamless water runoff during heavy storms, protecting your structural roof deck from rot. Addressing flashing vulnerabilities early prevents widespread interior drywall damage and mold growth.
Chimney Leak Repair Contractors
As premier chimney leak repair contractors, we specialize in tracking down elusive moisture entry points across your entire structure to stop water infiltration at the source. Our advanced diagnostic process evaluates every potential failure point, including your home’s foundation stability and siding alignment, to apply targeted sealants and structural fixes.
- Source Elimination: We stop water from penetrating porous exterior brickwork, degraded mortar joints, and cracked crowns.
- Structural Protection: Preventing water pooling protects your home from expensive structural settling and interior ceiling damage.
- Comprehensive Inspections: Our team checks everything from the roofline intersection down to the foundation to ensure total moisture defense.

Our emergency chimney repair teams are available to stabilize collapsing brickwork, clear dangerous obstructions, and seal open breaches. We act quickly to restore household safety and secure your property against ongoing weather exposure.

Comprehensive Masonry and Structural Restoration
When weather and time degrade your exterior, our masonry specialists provide advanced restoration solutions. We address everything from minor cosmetic cracks to deep foundational shifts that compromise the stability of your stack. Our targeted approach preserves the historical and structural integrity of your home’s stonework.
- Professional Repointing: We scrape away failing mortar and inject fresh, color-matched mixtures to restore structural strength.
- Precision Tuckpointing: Our team uses contrasting mortar lines to deliver a clean, sharp aesthetic finish to aging brickwork.
- Chimney Liner Relining: We install premium stainless steel or cast-in-place liners to completely modernize your flue safety.
- Exterior Protective Coatings: Specialized sealants shield your porous exterior surfaces from water absorption and freeze-thaw damage.
Advanced Protection: Siding, Stucco, and Chase Covers
Modern chimneys often use innovative exterior materials rather than traditional brick. Our technicians provide expert siding repair and stucco restoration to eliminate cracking, rot, or water stains on framed chases. We seamlessly match your existing home aesthetics while maximizing moisture resistance.
For prefabricated systems, timely chase cover replacement prevents water from pooling on top of the structure. Standard factory-installed covers rust quickly, leading to extensive internal framework damage. We install custom, sloped stainless steel replacements that shed water effortlessly and never rust.

FAQ
Chimney Repair questions, answered
How do I know if my chimney needs repair?
Look for water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney, cracked or missing mortar, white stains on the brick, a cracked crown on top, rust on the damper, or smoke coming into the room. Pieces of tile or brick in the firebox are another sign. An inspection with photos shows what is wrong and why.
How much does chimney repair cost?
The price depends on what is damaged and how much of it needs work. Ember gives you a written price after the inspection, before any repair starts. Ember's $149 Chimney Safety Package includes a chimney sweep, a safety inspection and a photo report. If you book a repair within 30 days, the full $149 is credited toward it (one package per household).
Why is my chimney leaking?
Most chimney leaks come from one of four places: worn flashing where the chimney meets the roof, a cracked crown, a missing or broken cap, or brick and mortar that soak up water. Each one needs a different fix, so we find the source before we quote a repair.
What is chimney flashing, and when does it need repair?
Flashing is the metal that seals the gap between your chimney and your roof. It needs repair when it lifts, rusts or its sealant cracks. Water stains in the attic or on the ceiling next to the chimney are the most common sign.
What is a chimney crown, and why does it crack?
The crown is the concrete slab on top of a brick chimney that sheds rain away from the flue. Heat, weather and age crack it over time, and then water runs down into the brick. Small cracks can be sealed; a crown with deep cracks needs to be rebuilt.
Is it safe to use my fireplace if the chimney needs repair?
Not always. A cracked flue liner or loose brick inside the chimney can let heat and smoke reach the wood framing of your home. Do not light a fire until the chimney is checked, and we will tell you on the visit whether it is safe to use.
Do you offer same-day chimney repair?
Yes. Ember offers guaranteed same-day service, so a technician can look at the problem the day you call. Some repairs need materials or dry weather and are finished on a scheduled follow-up visit.
Will I see the damage before I agree to a repair?
Yes. You get a photo report of what we found and a written price before any repair work begins. No work starts until you say yes.
Do you offer senior or military discounts?
Yes. Ember offers a 10% senior discount and a 5% military discount. Ask for it when you book.
