Chimney Leak Repair Our Balm Team Stands Behind
Local leak specialists, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every repair we make.
A rusted chase top on a framed chimney
A framed chimney is closed at the top by a sheet-metal chase top. One fireplace maker's installation manual calls for that top to slope down and away from the pipe opening, so water runs off instead of pooling.
Flat or sagging tops hold water, rust through and drip into the chase. Our pros check the slope, the seams and the collar around the pipe, and a replacement is priced as its own repair.
Water that is not rain at all
Burning fuel makes water. As the U.S. Energy Information Administration explains, hydrogen in the fuel combines with oxygen to form water vapor. In a flue that is cool or too large, the vapor can turn back into water and trickle down the chimney's inner walls.
Condensation leaves streaks and damp spots that look like a rain leak, but they follow the heating appliance's use rather than the weather. Our pros check that possibility before they start repairing a roof line that is sound.
Rust on the damper and in the firebox
A damper that has rusted stiff, flakes of rust on the firebox floor and a musty smell from the fireplace are signs that water has been reaching the inside of the chimney for some time.
The top of the chimney is checked for the source, and our specialists look at the damper itself. If it needs repair or replacement after the leak is fixed, that is priced separately so you can decide.
What your leak repair estimate shows
Your estimate lists the entry points we found and the repair for each, instead of one lump sum for waterproofing. It also notes anything we could not see and how we would check it. Where a coating is proposed, the estimate says which surfaces it covers and why the repairs come first.
Prices are upfront, there are no hidden fees, and our workmanship warranty covers the repairs we make. In Balm, a 10% discount applies to work you approve within 72 hours of the free inspection.
On any service we offer
Cap, crown or flashing, the leak fix is 10% off within 72 hours of the visit.
